  • The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max is a great streaming media player that often goes on sale for less than $50. Although I primarily use Roku players, I have owned several Fire TV Stick devices over the years. The 4K Max is my favorite! In today's video, I show you how to set up the device in less than five minutes. I also share a few tips and tricks for using your new Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max.

      I am brand new to cutting the cord. I am 68 and not tech savvy but this was easy for me. I just need to figure out how I can watch the entire programs of things I always watched when I had satelite TV. If you can instruct me, I would truly appreciate it. You have been a complete blessing to me setting this up. Thank you so much.

    Great device. I have a Roku Ultra, Chromecast with Google TV, and the Fire TV Max. I think this is my favorite device. It’s very zippy and smooth. I also love that it is so portable. I take it with me on vacation all the time and have no problem hooking it up at hotels or AirBnBs.

    I purchased a Firestick for my Brother. I want to set it up for him with his information so when he gets it he can plug in and play. The only issue I see is I’ll be setting it up on my tv and my internet. Will he be able to change those setting bringing it to his house for his tv and internet settings ? This way the volume/ power and internet all work on his and not looking for my info? Thanks

      You only need to create accounts for the channels you want. Some are free and some are paid. There are many free channels available, including my 7 favorites here: czcams.com/video/3V36shiXtkg/video.html

    I have a 24" VIZIO HDTV with ONE HDMI port. How would I connect an Amazon Firestick 4K Max AND an over-the-air TV antenna and antenna amplifier, to ONE HDMI port please? Thank you!!!!

    • @ryancraig4811
      @ryancraig4811 Před měsícem

      The antenna should have a round connector that goes to the ANT port on the tv. The antenna amplifier plugs into a wall outlet or a USB port on the tv. This leaves the HDMI port free for the fire stick. Probably overkill on the 4k max since the tv likely isn’t 4k, but no big deal. Hope this helps.

    I have a problem with 2 new 3rd gen firesticks I purchased on prime day. The problem is the firesticks work however the remotes that came with each one for some reason are not pairing with the firesticks (remotes are the one with the netflix, hulu, disney, and amazon button on bottom). But the old 2nd gen controllers I have work after pairing. Do you know why this is? And yes the new remotes light up and batteries are fresh they just are not pairing even after holding the home button for 10 seconds and longer. Any help would be appreciated

      @micalus8955 Před 5 měsíci

      @sidneysmith5411 hey honestly I did fix it myself. However, I can't remember what I did. I think I either did a factory reset using the 2nd gen controllers or I think it had something to do with me using the login in credentials to my firestick. I think they remembered the old controllers so I had to delete those off the firestick in settings devices and then I was able to sync the new ones. Hopefully that helps as it was a year ago lol
