    Worked great. Connected to the network, provided all the services we wanted/needd. However, not sure exactly when it lost connection, but will not connect. I tried everything recommended. So disappointed. Might give Roku a try instead of the fire stick.

      Hello CesarRdz. Thank you for your feedback on the Amazon Fire TV Stick HD. I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing difficulty adding and using apps, along with spending too much time in the queue without updates. When Fire TV devices have trouble with app installation or experience delays, this can often be resolved by ensuring your device has a strong internet connection, restarting your Fire TV Stick by unplugging it from power for 30 seconds then plugging it back in, checking that your device has the most current software version through Settings and My Fire TV, and clearing the cache for problematic apps through Settings, Applications, and Manage Installed Applications. If apps are stuck in a download queue, try canceling the downloads and restarting them one at a time, or restart the device to refresh the queue, and you can enable automatic app updates through Settings and Applications to ensure apps stay current without manual intervention. I hope these steps help improve your app installation and usage experience. AmazonDevices

      Hello, Frugalcustomer. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review on the Fire TV Stick HD. I am sorry to hear about the issues you are experiencing with the device and have some recommendations to try and help with the issue. First, I recommend making sure that your device is on the latest software. Go to Settings > My Fire TV > About > Check for Updates. Second, I recommend resetting your Fire TV remote:
      Unplug your Fire TV from the power supply and HDMI input, then wait 60 seconds.
      Press and hold the Left button and Menu button at the same time. Hold them for 12 seconds.
      Release the buttons and wait 5 seconds.
      Remove the batteries from your remote.
      Plug in your Fire TV and wait for the on-screen remote detection error message. Put the batteries back in your remote. Press the Home button on the remote.
      Your remote should be paired now. If your remote hasn't paired, press the Home button for 10 seconds. If you have any questions or need further assistance with the device, I recommend contacting Amazon Customer Support at 888-280-4331. Thank you again, have a great day! AmazonDevices

    Fire Stick was fine but has limited capacity. Fine if you have a few apps. Not great if you have a lot of channels you use

      Hello DarrylC! Thank you so much for your time and review of your experience with the Fire Stick HD. This is our base entry level model that comes equipped with 8GB of storage available which is typically more than enough for most viewers to enjoy their apps and streaming services. The Fire Stick 4K Max and Fire TV Cube both come with 16GB of storage if you require more. They also come with a number of additional features and benefits such as faster processor, higher resolution, better Wi-Fi connections, etc. I can understand the frustration that can come with not having enough storage for what you wanted so perhaps you can explore a possible exchange (if available) if one of the other choices sounds better suited for you. Thanks again for your time and feedback and I hope you have a fantastic day! AmazonDevices

      Update your Fire TV Stick:
