Fire Stick 4K Max Setup Tips and Tricks

[@PhilNickinson]

Oh, hey. Look at that. ... Here's a quick look at the top things I think you need to do with a Fire TV Stick 4K Max. ... Starting with don't cheap out and get something lesser. This is the stick to get.

[@tudorcosmin-andrei4203]

Thanks sir ! Just got one for 50€ and in satisfied with it. And it’s just faster, the ambient mode it’s just great !

[@kalanbays2]

Thanks for the comprehensive overview. I have a question, will a Firestick work through a Home Theater System receiver? Can I plug the Firestick into an HDMI IN on the reciever and push it to a television? Thanks!

My tip would be to get the Voice Remote Pro to go with it. The 2 programmable buttons are useful and the backlit buttons are a really nice addition. Plus you can ask Alexa to find your remote and it'll make a noise so you can find it - no more lost remote! I picked up the 4K Max and the remote in the Black Friday deals.

[@PhilNickinson]

For sure …

[@driza97]

yep. love the voice remote pro. highly recommend as well.

Question: I am trying to find how to scroll by page instead of one channel at a time on my Bell Fibe TV app, any ideas?

[@kameoosama]

but you see I neeeeed my navigation sounds to make sure my soundbar is working before I start something.

[@PhilNickinson]

Fair.

[@zeusstarfall408]

Baywatch hd was amazing❤

[@ravenflame8243]

I don’t have a 4k TV and still using a 2nd gen stick which is ridiculous slow now. Would the 4K max still work with my TV?

[@watchit_India.]

Yes

[@jbreiner]

Late to the party, but yes. Just don't expect 4k picture. It will only be as good as the TV you're watching it on.

[@shirleyaston8891]

How do you get the TV Guide back if you have lost it

[@computerguymikki]

When you kept saying click, I thought you were singing the song clique by Kanye West lol.

[@PhilNickinson]

Never heard it.

[@leondennis4659]

Why will firetv 4k max not stay on 1080p? It keeps reverting to 4k in display settings.I like to use less data as I watch a lot of TV.

[@BobbyCoolBreeze]

Picked up a max for $40 on Black Friday deals I have a Apple 1st gen 4K, but the Firestick is better for amazon prime originals

[@WRS_WatchReviews]

I just got a Sony x90l, and im trying to figure out if my firestick 4k max needs to go in one of the 2.1, 4k, 120hz hdmi ports. It looks like Firesticks only support 60hz, so im guessing it's fine in one of the other hdmi ports?? Is there any real benefit for my firestick in a 2.1 hdmi port??

[@melissaramirez3030]

How can I record on the 4K max?

[@billc.riemers3245]

You should mention you are only providing tips for the version of Firestick 4K Max released in September 2023. Even if someone purchased one today, it is equally likely they purchased the older version since that is the one that goes on sale...

[@PhilNickinson]

This is a good point.

[@frederickadams220]

Which firestick can you downloaded xf🎉inity stream app?

[@druid2538]

Apple TV 4k vs Nvidia Shield Pro. Which would win in a fight to the death?

[@McKluskie]

Tere only reason to have this now for me is if you are using two ECHO's in cinema mode, that works really well and sound is great but the stick itself is garbage and the box thing doesnt even have gigabit lan. Never looked back since I moved to NVIDIA Sheild which has USB ports and gig lan.

[@PhilNickinson]

Ambient Experience says hi, then. ...

[@RonnRicco]

Caleb looking a bit different these days ain't he?

[@VetSemperFi]

Makeup, lighting and camera angles work wonders!

[@PhilNickinson]

Ever seen us in the same place at the same time?

[@RonnRicco]

I haven't. Is it a possibility?@@PhilNickinson

[@pbosche]

The only reason I have this is because it was included with my AWOL 3000Pro ust. I’ll use it occasionally much like the apps built in to any tv, but my Apple TV will continue to be superior and offer the best picture and nicest browsing and user interface.

[@PusterPL]

And still no audio passthrough 😂😂 will stick with my shield pro for a while yet 😅

[@bootneylee9802]

Was hoping you'd tell me how to make the 4k Max output in 8k Dolby Vision with permanent Atmos. 😂

[@PhilNickinson]

Close your eyes and dream real hard.

[@moerudyk790]

can you also do a series on Google Chromecast setup!

[@hossman3000]

You should call this basic setup for old people new to streaming services

[@PhilNickinson]

I could, but that would be rude.

[@HeraBros07]

What version of the Fire TV 4K Max does it need to be on to have the Ambient Experience? I personally have the Fire TV 4K Max and in the Home long press I don't see the option for the Ambient Experience. Would gladly appreciate your reply.

[@PhilNickinson]

It has to be the one released in 2023. Not the first-gen Max.

[@Okabe009]

Is the ambient experience on the newest fire TV cube?

[@PhilNickinson]

Nope. (At least not yet.)

[@TheGirlSkateBoardCo]

Where is Caleb?!?!?!? 😭

[@bizzfo]

Max isn’t worth it for Wi-Fi 6E. Get the new 4K non-Max (Wifi 6) stick they both support HDR and Dolby Atmos\Vision

[@MrBayren]

It is worth it for double the storage and faster processor though. £10 more is easily worthwhile for that.

[@PhilNickinson]

Agree. Don't buy it just for that.

[@wbsmith4]

If you have an Amazon Prime account then yes, get it, but when on sale. It has 16GB vs 8GB on the lower models. Also, the 6GHz is nice if your router is tri-mode, so you can have some of your devices on 2.4GHz, some on 5GHz, and this on 6GHz.

[@LorraineMatera]

How do I get Alexis to shut up? She announces every volume change. ??? I have a 4K firestick.

[@TotenMaske]

The 4k max isn’t compatible with my 4k hdmi auto switch but oddly the standard 4k stick is.

[@billc.riemers3245]

I am not seeing ambiance experience on my 4K max. Is that a US only feature?

[@PhilNickinson]

Do you have the 2023 model?

[@thomascole7526]

How to take it of sleep

[@RudieObias]

IMO, the best tip and trick about the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max is that it’s 100% returnable for something better, like a Roku Streaming Stick 4K, Google Chromecast 4K with Google TV, or Apple TV 4K 😅

[@RudieObias]

@CrisB1776 Everyone has their own tastes. I just hate ads all over the place

[@RudieObias]

@CrisB1776 Not Apple TV 😅

[@bigcdub]

Had it, returned it, ATV4K way better…

[@michael-4k4000]

That’s the sound of the police woop woop

[@bigcdub]

@@michael-4k4000 Yessir…😉

[@RH-nk7eo]

ATV far superior unless of course you wish to sail the seven seas ☠️

[@addymj458]

Who tf is this guy ???

[@user-hf8ie8mf3n]

Love it. Thanks for sharing your insights. 👍🤪🏳️‍🌈

[@CAMAROZ28STAN]

He is annoying😢 is annoying to listen to

[@user-jn4pr1iy5j]

WORTHLESS!

[@DeepDishPizza]

Apple TV 4K > Anything else.

[@PhilNickinson]

I don't disagree.

[@EugeneM-Lawrence]
