Posted .Hello CarolynM,
The Fire Stick plugs into your televisions HDMI Port and gives you fast streaming in Full HD. It includes Alexa Voice Remote with power and volume buttons. You can stream 500,000+ movies and TV episodes by downloading your favorite services. Tens of thousands of channels, Alexa skills, and apps - Including Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, Disney+, Apple TV, and HBO Max. Subscription fees may apply depending on what you wish to stream. You can also watch your favorite live TV, news, and sports with subscriptions to SLING TV, YouTube TV, and others. Use the Guide button to see what's available and when.
The Fire Stick also gives you access to over 20,000 free movies and TV shows from apps like IMDb TV, Tubi, Pluto TV, and more. You can listen to music with Amazon Music, Spotify, Pandora, and others. Subscription fees may apply. The Alexa Voice Remote lets you use your voice to search and launch shows across apps. All-new preset buttons get you to favorite apps quickly. Plus, control power and volume on your TV and soundbar if you’ve got one, with a single remote! I'm sorry for any issues you are having with it moving slower or having a more difficult picture. If you are still having these issues, my suggestion would be to try a few troubleshooting steps first:
1. Check that you have a strong internet connection 2.-Wi-Fi switch: Use the switch to turn off/on the internet connection to your Fire TV device.
-Reboot Fire TV: Use this option to restart your Fire TV device from the Wi-Fi troubleshooting page on the device.
If the connection issue persists try the following:
-Use the connectors and cables that came with your Fire TV device.
-Confirm that you are using a Wi-Fi password and not an Amazon account password.
-Store your Fire TV out of enclosed areas such as closets that block your Wi-Fi signal.
-Restart your Fire TV device and any home network devices like modems or routers. If issues persist, you can reach Amazon Customer Service 24/7 at 1-888-280-4331. I hope this information helps, have a good day!

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Can't use Alexa for commands. Can't use on/off control and volume. Is the worst purchase I ever made. I more likely will cancel my subscription. Not satisfied with my purchase.

No, I would not recommend this to a friendFireStick vs Roku? No comparison.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing that the Fire Stick died just after the return window closed. We have a couple Roku’s, so I figured I’d try the Fire Stick, just to see. What a mistake. I guess I’m getting another Roku.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendRemote lasts only months
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Why do these remotes die after less than a year? All of our tv remotes are several years old and they still work. And why does it cost more to buy a replacement remote than it does to buy a whole new Firestick?
No, I would not recommend this to a friendTurns off on it's own
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For some odd reason the firestick will restart on it's own after it's been used for a while. I can't even keep track of how often or after how long its been used because it happens at random times and this happens to both of the firesticks I have purchased at this time from Best Buy
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Amazon Devices Customer Support
Posted .Hello evie85033! I am terribly sorry for the trouble you are having with your Fire Sticks turning off on their own. That is definitely not the typical function a customer should be having with these devices and I recommend either seeing if they can be exchanged or contacting Amazon Customer Support at 888.280.4331 to see if they are still under warranty. I can understand how frustrating this can be and hope that either of those two options assists in replacing your devices or updating them so this does not happen any further. Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback and I hope you have an awesome day!

I would recommend this to a friendHorrible Best Buy & Geek Squad Membership experien
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best Buy & my membership to Geek Squad proved worthless along with them wanting an additional charge of over $100 to come out and set it up. Paid the neighbors kid $50 and I’m good to go. Wouldn’t recommend Best Buy or the Geek Squad anymore.
