I am actually moving entirely to ROKU and was almost ready to buy a new Roku TV to replace this Toshiba Fire TV just to avoid the annoyance. I had assumed Amazon would not have made this an option. This is almost as good as being able to remove the Fire TV software entirely. Thanks!

[@IrixGuy]

I use FireSticks on all of my TVs. I just buy the cheapest Vizio TVs possible and have a uniform TV-watching experience thanks to FireStick.

[@psalm686]

Well, I bounced around for about 15 minutes and you gave me the fix in less than 1, lol. Thanks!

[@donatocongialdi4811]

How do I get back to over the air antenna channels after installing this please ? 🤔

[@IrixGuy]

If you’re using your FireStick, that doesn’t have built-in OTA. Amazon used to have a device called FireTV Recast but that was discontinued.

[@donatocongialdi4811]

@IrixGuy Thank you...will it turn on automatically via the new fire stick once the input HDMI is changed or does this have to be done manually every time the TV is turned on ?

[@adilchaudhry3058]

Hi mate I have a Toshiba fire TV 65uf3d53db which has built in fire tv....however I want to run my firestick on there and it won't detect anything on the hdmi ports.....I have watched ur clip loads.....I have one button at the bottom of the TV to toggle but nothing else to press for select.....I am bit lost

[@IrixGuy]

Do you have an “input” button on the remote that came with the TV? If so, does that toggle among HDMI ports? Also, you could try plugging in a video game condole or something into an HDMI ports to see if it works. If so, unplug that device and then plug the FireStick into that same HDMI port. That should confirm in the problem follows the HDMI port or the FireStick. Best of luck!

[@adilchaudhry3058]

@@IrixGuy thanks mate spent hours with it i did....managed to get it sorted with Amazon tech help....required more updates....there is no toggle switch on damn TV....jus a power button

Thank you for this. The built-in Fire TV is hot garbage - using a separate Fire Stick is a 100x better experience

[@IrixGuy]

No doubt! I simply keep the same old Vizio TV that works great and “upgrade” the experience by switching to the latest Fire Sticks when they release. Since Fire Stick is small and hides behind the TV anyway, there is no cosmetic need yo go with a TV with integrated FireTV, since it is not user-upgradeable hardware.

[@ayjaymay]

This is good info. Unfortunately, it didn’t work for what I tried to fix:. I have two Toshiba Fire TVs in adjacent rooms (Master BR and kids room) and the Toshiba remote control in the kids room controls the Master TV and vice versa. I tried to set the Master BR TV to use ‘Last Input = HDMI1’ to use a physical Fire Stick with it, though the kids Toshiba remote still affects it. I think I need to sync the Master BR TV with the Fire *Stick remote in order to disassociate it with both Toshiba remotes completely…

[@IrixGuy]

I haven’t experienced that situation but best of success with your troubleshooting efforts!

Thank you for your Video , My grandma has the Toshiba TV but when she turn on the TV goes to Menu instead of TV antenna , She does not know how to change since she is old , i was trying to set her TV but i couldn't , I can go to Antenna but after i turn off and On the TV , again goes to Menu , So if i do the same why you show , does that works when we turn on the TV and directly go to Antenna ? Thank you in advance

Hi I have a 4K fire stick an old Toshiba TV it’s not working it’s not recognizing the input please help thank you tried multiple times

[@IrixGuy]

Have you tried a different device on that HDMI port (DVD player, videogame console, etc.) to test to see if the problem follow the port or the Fire Stick 4K?

[@RedneckCanadian]

@@IrixGuy I don’t have anything else to plug into it I just have the fire stick and yes I’ve changed ports and it’s not recognizing it it will go to an HDMI four that’s not even plugged into anything money is an HDMI one an HDMI to one of them is for my cable and the other is for my fire stick

[@naseermkhan]

Unfortunately some recent Fire OS update broke that... On my Toshiba does not switch to HDMI 1 upon Power On, even if that was the last input (only one I use it with)... always goes to the Home screen... which seems like a hunt for views from the Amazon Fire dev team... all the apps that are sitting in Home probably love that (and paid Amazon for it?).

[@IrixGuy]

Bummer =( Thanks for the heads up! I love my Fire Stick 4K Max.....gonna stick with cheapest TV and just plug the stick into them going forward!

[@mpeg2tom]

How do you get Toshiba Fire TV to Alexa voice command to turn to HDMI 1? It refuses to do it for me.

[@IrixGuy]

Not sure….I never use the voice command feature.

I'm not tech savvy, but I do know that 8 GB on my Toshiba Fire TV is definitely not enough storage. I have tried using a USB flash drive for extra storage, and though the TV says I have successfully formatted the drive, it never recognizes the flash drive after that. I have tried multiple flash drives. So, I guess I'm stuck with buying a Fire TV Stick to have more storage for apps, and I would just plug it in and use like you do in this video?

[@IrixGuy]

Be sure to get Fire Stick 4K like I have linked within this video’s description so the remote can be used. Yeah, my built-in FireTV was not enough either.

[@IrixGuy]

Yeah, just think of it as any other video source plugged into an HDMI port :)

How get tv to go straight to HD tv without having to go and press HDMI 1,evertime I turn tv on. If I don't then don't HD tv.Turn it off and have to do all over again everytime.

[@IrixGuy]

This is what I did to make it automatically use this HDMI port.

[@Genos-Place]

Great video, saved me a lot of hassle. I'm a quadriplegic and can only control TV with voice commands. Before this video, when i turned on fire-tv, then HDMI, I often got the AT&T splash screen saying "press ok" to continue. I had to wait till someone else came by to press ok before i could watch cable. Not anymore! ;-) Now, can you tell me how to fix error tvq-pb-101 (5.6.1) ? When I try to watch netflix, i can select a movie but it can't play, giving me the msg, "We're having trouble playing this title. Please try again later or choose another title" I tried all trouble shooting steps from Netflix - nothing works. thx

[@IrixGuy]

Thanks. Not sure about the error.....have you installed the latest FireStick firmware and/or restarted the FireStick?

[@Genos-Place]

@@IrixGuy Actually, I don't have a Firestick, just the Tosiba Amazon Fire TV. I'll try deleting the Netflix app the reinstall. Not sure how to do that but I'll keep you posted.

With my setup, I can use the FireStick 4K's remote to power on/power off my TV as well as control the volume and choose what to watch.

[@IrixGuy]

You'll want to check to see if your cable TV provider's remote control is compatible with your TV and/or audio system.

I ditched cable TV and use FireStick 4K exclusively now. I added an Amazon FireTV ReCast and can watch free over-the-air HDTV channels. It's the best of both worlds and NO MORE satellite or cable TV subscription.
