Amazon fire TV sticks

[rctempire]

I use MYTVOnline3 on a Formuler box and it’s so much more enjoyable than any of the Firestick apps I tried.

Great choice.

Got myself a z12 ultra. So far going well, not tested it enough yet though,

Heard some chatter that Amazon are going to be able to delete certain side loaded apps remotely from your firesticks now.

Yep, known streaming ones.

Let the fun begin.

However, why worry? Plenty of other devices on the market which are even better than the FS.

If anyone is looking, GD1 and GD2 Android devices are decent. Plenty here if needed, cheaper than usual outlets.

Oh I have no doubt I'll need to buy a new android box soon just to run my box. She likes the firestick as we have prime for videos etc, although we have that on the TV too, so guess I just wasted £25 when our FS died the other week lol

 

[Flat Eric]

Our chromecast works better than the firestick did in my opinion. I don't think they make chromecasts anymore though

I’m 4m in, no issues on mag box

Dont see how you wasted it? Presume you bought a 4k or 4k max..... If not, silly for the price. But relax, it wont happen overnight, panic over nothing.

Again, why worry, when its not enforced or such. Any good service will have their own apps, which will have different names on the background so wont be blocked as such. If not, well, move onto a different supplier.

Plus amazon application etc will be around on normal android devices, not sure what the actual issue is there? Its all android so nothing changes.

Its an excellent box so far.

Cant complain with it.

 

[CrippsCorner]

Anyone know of an alternative to www.viprow.nu

It's just so 50/50 to whether it actually works or not on the day...

I used to have a Z11 Pro but in the end wanted an all in one solution so just use an Apple TV 4K box with Proton VPN and UHT and a paid IPTV service, then I can still use proper apps for all other services rather than TV or another box for others. I’ve found the Apple TV box the best by far for an all rounder.

Out of interest what are people playing for their IPTV a year and for what type of service? Mine is around £60-70 a year, all live channels without many buffering issues plus TV series and films although I don’t use it for that as the quality is average at best, this is through some guy on fb, fairly small operation compared with some so hoping it stays around for a while.

 

[Oggy997]

About £10 a year I think

I pay £100 a year for IPTV, VOD movies/series and access to Plex server with 80k+ movies/shows/replay's. It’s £60 a year without the Plex access.

 

[Oggy997]

Yeah, I've got plex too, but we all just share libraries on our nas'

Do you mean UHF? I use that and Infuse for streaming direct links from Stremio and my NAS.

Perfect combo on an Apple TV.

lol yes I also use Infuse, great apps.

 

[riz]

Can you download series on the IPTV apps?

 

[Oggy997]

Don't think so, but you can with Plex if the server owner permits it

 

[rctempire]

Can you download series on the IPTV apps?

Can if you had a decent box to do it with storage.

Or you could use another method to offline it.

Thanks. VIPRow is available without a Fire Stick... I don't even have one at the moment, but I know how they work as borrowed one for a while. Will hopefully pick up a decent deal during Black Friday.

Dont need a stick? Just purely an android device.

 

[CrippsCorner]

I don't have Android, is there anyway of running it on Windows? Is this BlueStacks I've heard about?

 

[Oggy997]

Just use smarter pro

Is this a good shout for turning into a dodgy stick?

Yes, I set one of these up for a relative over the weekend. Just avoid any of the Select sticks as they can't be used.

Is that just for sports stuff or everything?

The one I use is basically Sky Glass, but with the addition of movies and series

Its not "sly glass" its a rebrand to make you feel nice (xciptv, ibo or smarters). Its a full subscription you must have with someone.

That is mostly sports just a free app to help out.

 

[R3k1355]

Police getting serious about this FireStick issue

 

[rctempire]

Well the end is neigh it seems for "sticks"

No sideloading on new devices is confirmed - Proper nuclear.

Amazon Confirms: No Sideloading on all New Fire TV Sticks | Cord Busters

Amazon confirms all future Fire TV Sticks will run Vega OS, dropping Android for good - but what does that mean for sideloading and your app selection?

Fear not, many other options. Jackpot!!!!

Spicy! What to buy next is the question!

 

[Marc.]

s**t, I’m due to renew my service at the end of this month.

If I have Fire TV Sticks already, I presume I can continue with these? Or are they going to be useless?

Nah, they’re fine, just new ones running a new OS.

Worse comes to worse, just buy an android box. They’re more reliable anyway, just not as portable obviously

Yeah, I read that after I posted.

I’m clueless with this s**t, I don’t particularly like the Sticks, I find them slow and laggy. No idea on a suitable replacement though… My current provider has also stopped using bank transfer, and moved to crypto payments only, which for a technophobe like me is causing difficulties.

Sounds like we may have the same provider, or very similar. I’ve never had issues with the stick tbh, although my dads got a nvidia shield and says it’s miles ahead of the stick for stability. I like the stick though as I can take it anywhere when we go away.

 

[Adamm.]

Shield is brilliant for the upscaling too. Improves the Netflix/Prime without having to pay for 4k etc makes a noticeable difference.

If you need a new guy, let me know. I pay £45 a year for everything.

Really? That's half the price I pay

I'll PM you, I have some Q's if that's okay (because, as I mentioned, I'm a r****d with anything technology-based these days).

 

[rctempire]

Alternatives, GD1, GD2 and XS97 Ultra are good alternatives. (stock here if needed)
Or go big boy and get Formuler boxes. The best of the best now.

 

[Steve]

I’ve got mag box from Spain works a treat, UHD content little or no delay.
Supports excellent, lost server months ago quick WhatsApp call & up & running again.
