No more cable or Direct tv or Dish I think everyone should use a fire stick to keep these companies from over charging for tv channels, which use too be FREE

We had purchased this as the streaming apps did not load/work quickly with our current tv. While this does have the negative that it has to be connected to power, it has made streaming much faster for us! It also does require the volume to be slightly higher than the streaming apps directly on our tv, but that may be an issue with the tv itself and not this firestick. Definitely recommend!

Maybe the more memory in place helps with the device being very responsive to the remote control commands; other versions sometimes show a lag.
Remote control has additional buttons useful when watching live tv.

With the 4K Max and Wi-Fi 6E, I expected a faster response. Roku Ultra blows Fire TV Stick out of the water. Now, to be fair, I should compare the Roku Ultra to the Fire TV Cube, but the Cube is mainly for the additional smart device features I don't need, so I cannot comment. Roku was one of the first players in the streaming device space, and we should reward that. The big sharks like Amazon, Apple and Google simply eat up the innovators. So, I like supporting Roku, in addition to it having the best interface.

Nice updated product, the hardest part of getting this up and running was getting the battery cover off.

I love this firestick for streaming. Pennies on the dollar compared to satellite tv. Great item whoever invented it. I recommend this product if you want to save money.
