I've always said if Amazon want to control how people use their Fire TV Sticks they should give them out for *free* ....but until then they should keep their nose out of how people use a device they bought and paid for.

[@user-pv5wx9zh3c]

It's like they are controlling us

[@redneck982]

Once again Amazon is their own worst enemy🤔

[@markheyward1032]

Amazon IS the enemy ! Quite simply, DO NOT USE THEIR PRODUCTS ! You are best of using an Android TV box that doesn't use the official Android TV OS, & has the full Google Play store. Or the Nvidia Shield. Apple, & Amazon will always be control freaks, & you will be permanently pushing shit uphill with them. Trash further all amazon shit boxes, ie throw them out. They are CENSORSHIP.

[@PaulKnotts1234]

Exactly time to switch over to android TV boxes. Amazon is going to lose a lot of business.

[@leonardkrasner4399]

Thanks, Doc for the information. I’ve been following you for over 2 years (U.S.). You are a great asset to all of us who own Fire TV and Android equipment.

[@patriayvida4209]

I BLOCKED ALL UPDATES LONG TIME AGO.... THANKS TO THAT I HAVE NO ISSUES WITH ANY APPS. I DON'T CARE ABOUT ANY UPDATES ANYMORE, NO MATTER WHAT

[@timwindsor03]

For this reason is why I quit using Amazon products 5 yrs ago. I get tired of them telling me what I can do with my device. So hence the NVIDIA SHIELD is always king. Thanks for sharing. Keep the content coming. Hope you have an incredible night. Much love and RESPECT

[@nancybrown9706]

Quit buying them cheap ass, fire TV devices

[@redneck982]

🤣🤣🤣

[@SloppyGoat]

Of course! Amazon is going to make their devices so intolerable, that no one wants to use them anymore. I'm already never buying a Fire TV device, again.

[@pl8splace]

great video and great info!! soooo glad i do not use the big A products lol what a headache they just keep creating for users and/or some of us...Thanks TD as always!!

[@Bill_Sawyer]

The consumers should understand that they have the power. Because if everyone stop buying them stupid ass Amazon devices them Amazon would change. It's all up to the consumers. Your money your choice. Just may opinion. Thanks Tech. Doctor for the information. Peace. 👍🏿

[@darrell4328]

It just means a few more clicks. We haven't lost Plex I can live with amazon but thankyou for clarify 👍👍👍👍👍

[@TruthHunter6727]

Thanks for the heads up. Would rather find out from you than the hard way. It looks like it's time for a TDUK streaming device🤔

[@avmduck3932]

Can you recommend an android box. One that plays 4k netflix and we will not have to worry about these companies blocking apps?

[@karl8301]

The title is misleading. This doesn’t mean there blocking 3rd party apps altogether. You are talking about the linking within apps, which makes you do more manual work and use their main home screen. You can still use 3rd party apps such as Kodi, film plus, IPTV, etc… In theory they can’t really block 3rd party apps as they would loose majority of there customers.

[@user-of4sd1rm8r]

Absolutely bang on. You can see how confusing the title is from some of the comments here.

[@martytoo]

This. Thank you for showing us how to stop firmware updates!!! I am hoping my Firestick(s) are protected.

[@TechDoctorUKExtra]

I hope so too

[@TheCleaner6969]

Amazon will eventually do as all companies & ruin themselves.

[@jerramiemcgough2459]

Back to blocking updates. Thanks TDUK

[@ginocasagrande2991]

All you got to do is connect your fire tv to a pc and then you can watch anything on line

[@linuxpc71]

As always thanks for the information, TDUK! 😊

[@paulhawkins2540]

I don't use them type of thing so it doesn't bother me

[@cjjc2529]

Gave up with Amazon FireTV/Google TV a year ago and moved to Windows/Linux on TV. With a PepperJobs air remote, its a much smoother and easier process and no messing around

BLOCKING ALL STREAMING ADDS AMAZON PRIME

[@shrinkingsharon4133]

Wow they are forever changing things thanks for updating us

[@TechDoctorUKExtra]

You’re welcome 😊

[@viazel2796]

My cousin was blocked from updating!

[@AraphAt191]

Modders will fix that ...v

[@martinkendal2486]

Hi Doc thanks again for keeping us updated with what's happening. However I don't understand - I've just selected wolf launcher and then selected third party apps from there and they all seem to be working! Have I not understood what you are saying? Thanks

[@UniverseF5]

This is why I have an Nvidia Shield.

[@martinsmith5998]

hopefully everyone will ditch their fire sticks cubes ect and force amazon to reinstate 3rd party

[@FruitLoop2020]

Your title is miss leading. What your saying is blocking ‘apps’ from changing the ‘UI’. They are not blocking streaming apps itself.

[@TechDoctorUKExtra]

The are blocking steaming apps (Plex / reel good etc) from launching other streaming apps

[@jazradcliffe2286]

They ARE NOT blocking 3rd party apps. They are blocking 3rd party apps from launching other apps from within the app. There are therefore forcing you to use their homescreen so you have to view their adverts.

[@paulhill1379]

Thank you for the info.

[@aaronletchford]

Some bright spark will hack it don't worry about that, or people will move to an android box, so simple

[@denbusa1965]

Thank's for the info 🙂

[@marvinjohnson990]

Must be starting today. I just received my new one yesterday it was fine

[@andrewbranthwaite129]

I got p off with Amazon so I got a RCA andrdr TV

[@micksmixxx]

Sadly, TechDoctorUK, that's what comes of dealing with scam artist companies. 😜

[@silversurferlils9176]

Should we stop them updating our sticks then and how do we do this?

[@ghostnote1678]

That sucks. I have to say that it doesn't really affect me because I could never get JustWatch or Reelgood to properly launch content in the first place. I always found it quicker to just look things up on my phone. But yeah, they've lost me as a future customer.

[@TechDoctorUKExtra]

Are you still a Firestick user ?

[@redneck982]

Shield😁

[@pl8splace]

nooooooooo...lol team green for me haha

Nope stopped using them 4 years ago better with android TV but certain people don't listen to me in my family and continue to run into issues buying new firesticks where if they switched device they'd be fine

[@chrismurphy7105]

I'm considering moving on, any suggestions?

[@dazzle565]

The shield is my main box. Firestick in the bedroom so not really much of a problem for me just yet.

[@D3vicx]

And here I was thinking the Yalla Receiver v2.5 was my biggest problem of the day. Sorry, I got a notice on my phone to update to Yalla Receiver v2.5 from the Google Play Store. And yet I'm seeing nothing very weird. Sorry about this Fire TV problem.

[@pillsnerbob]

I used to have a firestick but it not worth it allways somthing ....will never go back just buy a good Android box

[@HADDII_2672]

well how do we unblock it

[@denniseijs]

That means I will return my firetv's and ask my money back. Deliberately crippling the hardware/software is for me a step to far.

[@flyndestroy]

I like the Walmart brand Android device. We use it on a daily basis. For $20...think I'll replace the two Firestick 4K Max.

[@shawnmichaels4805]

I have 3 rooted Firesticks 4K. Bought the Walmart Onn last year for $20 just for the hell of it because of the price. Guess what happened next? Bought 2 more for the other TVs and gave away my Firesticks.

[@s2wheels]

Time for Android TV box.👍

[@benjiisreal2865]

I have the second generation fire cube my brother in law order third generation guess I will be canceling that order

[@brucejones5527]

Roku

[@michaelleese4626]

Well I've got sticks and a cube and tbh I'm sick if this and really am prepared to dump the lot absolutely garbage 🗑️ luckily I've also got 3 android boxes so Amazon it's time to get stuffed thx for the video Doc

[@jimmyward2848]

Which Android Device do you recommend as a replacement for Fire TV Cube? Thank you

[@michaelleese4626]

@@jimmyward2848 take your pick really mine range from about 30 plus quid to about 75 and not one has given me any grief but go for one that has 4+gig of ram the shield is supposed to be the best but it's mega bucks and to me overkill if your only streaming gaming is another matter

[@rockysmart6406]

Toss firestick. Switch to Nvidia Shield. Done

[@TonyRome402]

It won't work; I am the master.

[@pcernigl]

Time to ditch fire stick and buy android box

[@VintageForYou]

Eventually, people will stop buying amazon TV devices and go for something else it will be their loss.

[@boatymcboatface6969]

Praise the Nvidia Shield!

[@RudgeDailyNews]

Does this mean apps like cinema hd won’t work anymore?

[@BrucePointer]

It better not!

[@pl8splace]

no ...at least not yet

@SiPRudge - no it doesn't = the title is alarmist.

[@pl8splace]

@@BlueSteel331

[@karl8301]

@@BlueSteel331 so true. It’s very misleading. It’s good info to have though. In theory Amazon can never really block all 3rd party apps as they would loose so much money/customers. And that’s all Amazon cares about is the money.

[@Itaholyspirits]

Sorry but if thy are doin this kinda stuff no one will buy it and thy will lost money and no one will be buyin this stuff but I love the firestick but I’m about two find a new platform I use it ohmost everyday and my old firestick dose not work anymore but my firestick 4k max works and yes I have a roku streaming stick

[@chrismurphy7105]

Does the Roku allow side apps?

[@pl8splace]

yes but also no..lol kinda like ios need the know how but it never lasts

[@BlueSteel331]

@Chris Murphy - no, it doesn't.

[@pl8splace]

@@BlueSteel331 it can be done but again never lasts. they get blocked same as apple does. in no way are they worthwhile to anyone wanting to sideload.

unless they enjoy headaches lol

Nvidia Android Shield TV the best

The title is clickbait...no apps blocked...just more clicks
