@@onzkicg I purchased the Amazon Fire Stick 4K Max about 2 months ago and it is Awesome. It's super easy to use and super fast. But I think speed has to do with how strong your Wi-Fi source is. Mine has a fast download speed. So much stuff to watch. I no longer miss cable. Would I recommend the Fire Stick.? Absolutely!

Fire TV Pros - - Best performance - Alexa if you use it - Best button layout - WiFi 6 - Better game streaming performance - Can sideload apps - Supports VPNs - Supports AV1 - Can be found on cheapest deals - Best SoC Fire TV Cons - - Worse for privacy - Too much ads - No universal IR remote, depends on HDMI CEC - Crappy streaming Google TV Pros - No intrusive ads - Google Assistant is better - Doubles as a Chromecast - Can sideload apps - Supports VPNs and more apps - Remote doubles as a Universal Remote, can control a VERY BIG range of IR devices - Works with most home automation systems Google TV Cons - Bad for privacy - Poor performance for game streaming - No AV1 support - Older SoCs Roku Pros - No intrusive ads - Cheap - Good home automation support Roku Cons - Not good selection for game streaming - No universal IR remote, depends on HDMI CEC - Bad app selection - Poor sideloading game - Crappy streaming - Older SoCs Fire Stick is a better device hardware wise, just the stick. The ultra is even better. But for best utility, Google TV can't be beat. It has Chromecast built-in. Fire Stick Miracast implementation is horrible while Roku's implementation is very acceptable, but it's no Chromecast. When I use AMD Link or Steam Link, Fire TV or Nvidia Shield performs the best. Google TV and Roku just doesn't pack a punch. If you need game streaming on budget - Go Fire TV If you need most convenient streaming - Go Google TV If you have AV Receivers, Soundbars, Old TV without HDMI CEC and mixed bag setup - Go Google TV If you want good voice assistants - Go with either Fire TV or Google TV If you want the easiest and best home automation integration - Go Roku

Why does fire stick and google tv had bad privacy

I would just like to mention that the CCwGTV doesn’t have overscan compensation. If you do have a TV with overscan that can’t be turned off and doesn’t have/don’t work well with HDMI-CEC, get a Xiaomi TV Stick 4K.

[@darklink2000]

Good video, probably worth noting that the Roku and Fire Max support AV1 codec which is future proofing since Netflix is already streaming with it. The Chromecast does not support AV1, also FireOS also has the Roku channel as an app, Android tv however does not.

[@landpet]

Thanks! Yes I should’ve mentioned that, I did mention it in my newer video when comparing the fire stick 4K max to the fire cube. Generally speaking, sometimes I have to skip stuff just because the video would be too long, it’s a battle lol. I also forgot to mention that only the Roku from this comparison supports airplay but since you can cast to all three, I just skipped it but I probably should’ve just mentioned it.

[@VV-wl8gb]

Thanks! This steered me towards the Fire stick away from the Chromecast

[@alex75hgft]

roku itself doesn't support bluetooth, but you can open the app on your phone and make the audio from the TV come on your phone or the Bluetooth phone connected to your phone, it also allows multiple different headphones to be connected at the same time, if each person has their own phone and bluetooth paired. I've tested up to 4 people each listening to a TV show using a mobile phone each with a bluetooth headset, it works via the WIFI network between ROku and the mobile devices, and from mobile device to headphone it is bluetooth

Great video. I previously used 2 Chromecasts w/Google TV and they both performed well for about 3 weeks. Then the Chromecast on the main TV started freezing and crashing inexplicably. I was always clearing cache on a daily basis so storage wouldn’t be an issue. I ended up replacing both Chromecasts w/ Google TV with a Roku Ultra & a Roku 4K Stick. Both Roku’s have never freezed or crashed. Yes, the Roku 4K Stick is a little slower but it’s much more stable in my opinion.

Why fire stick 4k max is unavailable on amazon US? Apart from 1 (which can't be ship to my location) all the others in the list on amazon listed as currently unavailable.

[@ThomasNosey]

The thing is. I'm between two rocks here with Amazon's firestick and Google's chromecast. It seems both devices can do 4K60fps and have all the apps you could want (netflix, prime video, youtube, disney+, apply tv, etc etc) but the things scaring me away from both and making it hard for me to choose is that Amazon's interface is horrible and those ads are just yuck, I don't want ads on the tv whilst I'm scrolling. However, google's is great but the controls being on the side is disgusting and I'm not exactly sure you can get apple tv on it. On top of this I've seen other comments saying how the firestick is more future proofed meaning it's probably best to go for it but again the ads are yuck. It would be nice if google released a new version of the chromecast with google tv that has the newest encoder and a better remote.

[@landpet]

Valid points, you can always wait for another update from Google

So the fire stick is best when my router is far? Is it the same with the non max version??

[@yea1955]

so a normal 4k 60fps tv cant stream these apps in 4k? i’m confused on the purpose of 4k streaming if the tv already has it

[@landpet]

If the tv has the smart apps then it can stream in 4K and your probably don't need this. These streaming sticks usually (not always) are faster than the tv apps in terms of loading times and usually allow for more app selections.

[@PSYCHOV3N0M]

Built-in TV streaming apps don't get long-term update support vs streaming apps that comes built-in to Roku, Amazon Fire Stick, Apple TV, Chromecast with Google TV, etc. Example: Netflix, Hulu, KZbin, Prime Video, etc will still be getting updated over 5 years from now on a PS5, Xbox, etc vs the built-in apps from a TV.

What did you do at that point?

[@evicencio31863]

There's also a 'Wi-Fi' available. You don't need it.

[@lokendraramsurn1064]

Can you play games on chrome cast?

[@landpet]

You can with google stadia

[@KWez256]

Tiki should not be on the list. Man GET THAT OUT OF HERE!! Stop playing. The real smart tv device’s are Google TV and Fire TV. End of discussion.

[@landpet]

I prefer the fire tv myself only cause most of my stuff is on Amazon

[@ThatCrazyRCGuy67]

Returned my FireStick Max..as of now it wont play UHD on Vudu..even tho the last gen did...WICH I HAVE... SHAME ON THEN...GARBAGE UNTILL THEY ADD THAT.

[@landpet]

I haven't tried that so I'll take your word for it.

[@Robots0verHumans]

These sticks are complete wasted with ads. On Roku it's still the least, but the others really crush you with their "suggestions".

[@landpet]

Yeah definitely varying ecosystems

[@fazalmusthafa]

Which is best?

[@landpet]

They’re all good. I prefer the fire stick

[@thomaslucas6079]

all this the Amazon firestick still wins out. I have a Nvidia Shield but my favorite for you KZbin is Beelink GT King pro for it's operating system and the ability to colasp one video while going another. Nvidia shield OS is great for games but stinks for other things.

[@landpet]

Thanks for the info, I didn't know that about the Beelink.

[@Brenda-Burd]

I have all three

[@landpet]

nice

[@rvh1999]

Congrats

[@TheBestEverEverEver]

A Google stadia is literally better than a Roku TV you will never find something that’s truly worthless as a Roku TV disgusting disgusting disgusting disgusting disgusting disgusting company...

[@landpet]

I haven't dealt with Roku but I do prefer the fire stick and Google tv more than Roku.

[@bullfrog5037]

With Roku, you are very limited. As you can't side load apps or increase the Roku storage.

[@randomstuff2607]

basically...roku and firestick sucks balls. The Chromecast is the best.

[@landpet]

Lol
