[@himanshuchaudhary9314]

I Recently ordered a sony tv which does not support mirror screening but i have fire stick can i mirror my phone screen with the help of fire stick please let me know.

[@SujoyShivde]

Yes you can. Most modern Android phones can be mirrored with FireTV Stick.

[@trehansid]

Wanted to check if this works in a home theater Av receiver. We simply connect it to hdmi input of the Avr? Or it would have to be connected to a media player and then to an Avr. Thanks

Anytime friend.

[@kumaran140]

Hey Bro,should we use the charger compulsorily or can we connect it with usb port in tv itself,is it safe?

[@SujoyShivde]

+kumaran140 Hi, Amazon recommends we use the charger to power the FireTV Stick and I've tried powering the Stick with just my TV. Occasionally, the TV does not send adequate power to the stick via USB and so may hamper the performance of the stick. We also get frequent warnings

[@kumaran140]

oh ok thanks bro

[@keyur2611]

Helpful video. Though please suggest me if I must buy an android tv box or a firestick. With Android TV box I'll be able to make use of full android OS unlike the amazon locked android version. So am a little confused. Please help

[@SujoyShivde]

Hi, your doubt is genuine and many buyers face this dilemma. If you like the content on Amazon Prime India, then the convenience of Voice Search across Amazon Services is totally worth it. Additionally, you do get most other streaming services which are common to Android TV Boxes. The only place where Android Boxes excel is Third Party app support and those boxes are built on Better hardware and so you maybe able to sideload some games and app services. If you plan on doing that, then go for Android Box, otherwise, FireTV is a nice device!

[@keyur2611]

That answers my question well. Thanks!

[@achitjain2867]

Is there any apps or channels for news??? Great review btw, one of the best i have seen you deserve more subscribers and views.

[@siva2814]

Hi, Whether we can connect external Hard Disk or USB to watch downloaded movies ?

[@SujoyShivde]

+siva shankar To connect external hard disk, you need to do it wirelessly by setting up a Plex Library! Cannot directly be connected to FireStick!

[@mamudhassan6609]

Good video. I live outside India. I have a decent internet connection. In my area cable service is bad and pricey. My family members watch some zee tv and star jalsa tv only . I have been thinking a lot about disconnecting the cable and buying a fire stick. I am just not sure if I will be able to play those 2 channels in fire tv stick. Also what will be the cost to play those channels? or are they free?

[@SujoyShivde]

+Mamud Hassan Hello! Yes, we've disconnected cable from TataSky in our home. I'll try and run a check to see if your channels are available. They maybe available on some or the other platform like Hotstar etc. If JioTV was available on FireTV, it would surely have been available. But otherwise, it's worth the buy!

[@mamudhassan6609]

many thanks for reply. I've heard people using JioTV with fire stick, however with poor remote usability.

[@SujoyShivde]

+Mamud Hassan Yes sir, that will be the case due to non optimisation of the app.

[@AuthenticAbhi1]

bro does it play dolby 5.1 audio from amazon prime video content too?Netflix give 5.1 output.

Thank you for a nice demo. I have LG 22inch Full HD LE5300. And 20Mbps connection. The fire TV stick gives good video but no audio. Please suggest me as how to get audio.

[@SujoyShivde]

+balasubramanian ramamurhty Sir the audio of LG TVs isn't upto the mark and even my grandparents television has issues with Audio. You can upgrade to a small 2.1 Channel or 5.1 Channel Speaker setup to get better audio and enjoy content from FireTV Stick.

Hi, I have an old sony TV, and the in built movie player doesn't support videos in x265 format. Which a lot of downloaded content is in. Does Amazon fire tv stick have any apps that will allow to watch those x265 files which are on my hard drive?

[@dude3099]

Also, will I even be able to access my hard drive, while I'm using firr tv stick?

[@SujoyShivde]

Yes, there are a few media player apps which are both natively available and can be sideloaded as well.

[@SujoyShivde]

Yes, but you'll have to use a USB adapter for facilitating that. The hard drive will need to connect to the FireTV by USB

screen mirroring kisme better hai, chromecast or fire stick? or which device casts the screen more smoother?

[@SujoyShivde]

+Vicky Gupta Chromecast might be a better casting device.

[@deepakkvlogk90]

A big like to you for a efficient way of presentation. But I have some little more queries if u able to answer. 1. How do we install apps in it? 2. How do we use browser in it? Can be use my wireless Logitech keyboard while browsing?

[@SujoyShivde]

+Deepak Kumar Installing apps can be done in two ways. 1) Using the Amazon Fire TV App Store to download​ official available apps. 2) Sideloading a compatible TV OS Apk onto the FireTV Stick and this is done for apps that Amazon hasn't allowed on the store. Sideloading has been explained by me in a nutshell in a Update Video but will try and make another one. B) Few browsers can be installed in it but I think they won't be available officially. So we will have to Sideload them. I think Chrome for Android TV OS app has to be found. And yes, if you connect your Logitech Keyboard, you will be available to type using that.

[@gauravjoshi718]

You did it really well , really enjoyed it bro,, between chromecase and fire stick . which one you prefer?

[@SujoyShivde]

+gaurav joshi Thanks! Glad you liked the video! I'd prefer the FireTV Stick as Chromecast would need you to always have your phone or tablet or device nearby to cast from a compatible with app. The FireTV stick is a standalone device for viewing content. The independence and array of features makes it a better buy Vs the Chromecast I think. :)

[@gauravjoshi718]

thanks for such detailed review bro, keep it up

[@vssc1422]

[@SujoyShivde]

+lonesharkadriano If you mean the full TV channel experience I don't know if there's a way to do that. There could be an app that you have that supports TV channels. But, ESPN and Sony Entertainment Media apps might be available. Will confirm after checking.

[@glorrypicture1741]

Agar hum isme apne recharge kare to tabhi bill ayega don't se yes please explain fully I am still confuse

[@Khaarthik]

Is it possible to use this as a simple Bluetooth device ? Means could I use my Bluetooth headsets to hear the audio played from hard disk connected through in-built USB port of my TV ? I agree it sounds tricky.

[@SujoyShivde]

+Khaarthik Jagdhish No, this is not the purpose of this device. Bluetooth Streaming from this device will only work with content running from this device. So, your local hard-disks connected to your TV will still play from your TV or speaker setup. To achieve what you wish to achieve, use a Wireless Headphone e.g amzn.to/2oN2vGc

[@Khaarthik]

I really appreciate your response. Yes, I'm very aware about the after market bluetooth headsets. But the problem is I've JBL S400BT which doesn't have any dedicated Bluetooth device.

[@SujoyShivde]

FireTv is an independent device while Chromecast is merely useful for casting phone content.

[@AmitPandeyGeeky]

I am totally confused between fire stick and chromecast 2. Which one to buy?

[@SujoyShivde]

+Amit Pandey If you don't need a standalone device, go for Chromecast. It needs you to always have your phone. FireTV is an independent solo device. I think it's the better choice.

Hey ;) please answer! 1. Does it have native support for iOS mirroring!? I did watch your video guess you were mirroring iPhone " iTunes and Apple page " A. If yes will the iTunes work this way I mean not MP3 but Apple Music format* ( I've tried to stream Apple Music through streaming apps none works * every time it says invalid format ;( " lg led old tv though using Dlna LAN network" B, will there be a compression on videos while mirroring!? 2, 1080p 60 fps!? On Netflix ? Hot star? Prime? 3, are the games playable or lag free while mirroring? Using iPhone ( Airplay upnp ) or if it supports native will it be lag free 4, will changing regions gives access to other region video library!? Like US or EU like way can I get access on Hulu by giving a fake Us of or something 5, can KZbin app play 1080p 60fps 6, does it have any app to watch anime 1080p subbed!? Just answer in one word yes or no to all my questions ! I'm either buying this or Apple hdmi adapter ( iTunes music format is important for me ) so if it can only stream MP3 I will stick to hdmi adapter then!! So I need suggestion from you ;) Also very good video! I'm going :to sub now! You almost covered everything i guess Thanks in advance Thanks

[@SujoyShivde]

+sid crimson No, no native support for iOS mirroring. I was mirroring my Android Phone. No there's no provision to get Apple Music via local streaming. Maybe try installing Apple Music APK. Yes, there is some compression while doing DLnA streaming. Audio lag maybe visible too. Mirroring lagged for me, so mirroring games will be painful. Native games will work fine. No, the FireTV Stick cannot be region shifted. You can use a VPN service on your WiFi network and then access Hulu using a sideloadee Hulu app. Anime app will have to be checked by me. Yes, 60Fps video was playable on my device. Sorry for the long replies :)

[@sidcrimson27]

Can you explain me in a little more detail what the issue is? Is your remote not working? Or is the stick not working? On my Stick, the Volume is independent from the FireTV Stick. Please let me know the exact nature of the issue so I can find a solution. Thanks

[@unitedalliance2978]

Hey is it better to invest on android box like mxq pro 4k?

[@SujoyShivde]

Depends on your need friend. If you need access to a lot of third party services and games, getting a dedicated Android TV box like the one you mentioned or a Minute TV Box makes sense as they pack more processing power. Otherwise, the Fire TV Stick is good enough for enjoying most of the content.

[@shubhgaur]

Can you compare it with other smart TV os like the webOS in LG TVs And tell which would be a better option ! Please do ! Thanks

[@SujoyShivde]

+shubh gaur Specifically speaking about webOS on LG TVs, I think app support would be limited. The OS has no scope for major updates as all TV makers will move to Android TV platform. So, I think FireTV OS or any other Android Based OS will be a better bet. If you compare this to an Android TV like Sony etc, then other than Stock Android, there's nothing that much better on Android TV other than the Full Version of the TV Play store.

[@renganathcanandan2469]

Nice review buddy.... Keep up the work... But i want to know one thing, does this work with full hd monitor with HDMI port and audio outp port like headphone jack...? Could you please test that...?

Hello, I am Not able to Cast and Mirror my Motorola Z Play and LYF Water 5 Mobile on the Fire TV. Please Tell How can it bs done? Also Tell How to cast Videos and Shows from TVFPlay's Android app to Fire TV?

[@SujoyShivde]

+Vivek Mittal You should head to Display Settings or WiFi settings on your Moto Z for Wireless Mirroring feature and then head to the FireTV mirroring settings. Lyf Water maybe incompatible. The FireTV Stick is not meant for app casting, so I'm not sure if it's possible to Cast TVFPlay's content. Try downloading the TVFPlay FireTV App and that might allow you to cast the content.

KZbin will be available on both. Putlocker will not be available as a FireTV App. So for your requirements, Chromecast is a better device. As long as Putlocker works on your mobile with your broadband speed, Chromecast will work well too

It's about 9/10. Occasional hiccup while loading something, but has been pretty fine on Hotstar for last 1.5 years or so. We've also use Zee5, Voot, Netflix and even trying Apple+. It's good for all of those things.

If you care about having maximum content, then the Apple TV will have Netflix, Hotstar, Apple iTunes Movie Catalogues, Amazon Prime Video, Apple Music, Saavn, Ghana etc. and all other video apps which will be officially supported. Amazon FireTV might never see the light of Apple iTunes Movie catalogue or even Apple Music. That's how the content will differ. Rest apps might be same hoping all developers already have their apps on either platform. Apple TV 4K is a highly refined experience with the integration of Siri, a Siri Remote, a healthy App Store that is frequently updated and has top developers making quality apps like Apps, Games, Productivity apps etc. To talk hardware wise, the FireTV Stick doesn't come close when it comes to processing power and software functionalities of the Apple TV 4K which includes multitasking, Siri, gaming, 4K videos etc But, to talk about the price at which all this comes for, well, FireTv Stick is the easier choice to make. If most of your content apps are available on FireTV, then it's obviously the wiser choice consider you save a lot of money. It's a difficult comparison if you ask me. Since I'm both an Apple and a Droid user, I have some features that I like on either device. Depending on what is important to you, I think you should make your decision. But the price is a huge reason I'll pick the FireTV and enjoy most of my content.

[@dhinkchakpooja2867]

Should I discontinue my dth service and buy Amazon Fire stick?

[@SujoyShivde]

+Dhinkchak Pooja Personally, if all of the content you watch is available online via apps on the FireTV Stick, then do discontinue your connection. Our family rarely watches TataSky Channels ever since we received FireStick.

Hey can you share the Hotstar Fire TV apk via a website. I have a Android TV and would prefer using the TV version of Hotstar rather than the phone version that I've sideloaded. Just extract the apk file with a file manager and upload it to Gdrive or Dropbox. Would really appreciate your help

[@SujoyShivde]

+Akshay I'll try the procedure and get back to you.

[@akshay5895]

were you able to do it? You can download ES file manager from the store to do it. Just search for Hostar within apps inside ES and share via and then you should be able to extract it. Thanks

[@SujoyShivde]

+Akshay Hi, I'll try it ASAP. Sorry for the delay.

[@SujoyShivde]

+Akshay Could you contact me via email? That way we can speed our conversations.
