Is this why they upped the price of gamepass today? đđđ
Yes it is
A) companies already increase prices and b) they spent 69 billion on Activision, they want to recoup those costs.
Sad
ikr
I have gamepass for free idky my xbox is stuck with it for free forever đđ even after i logged every account out i can still play every gamepass or cloud game on my xbox đđđđ im lucky
Honestly, can I say this has been one of your better videos because this is the first time I have seen a video of yours where there was plainly no shilling. The lack of Jimmy Complain also was refreshing because the only thing he does when he comes on your video is literally talks down to the console you are trying to be a proponent for while adding very little to your videos. This was well thought out, well organized and pretty objective. I think if you could do more videos like this and less of the shilling / speculative no sources rambling - your channel would do better.
I was thinking this just before I clicked on yet another video I wasnât particularly all that interested in due to previous attempts to stay to the end. This one I watched most of. Still not perfect though.
Sounds like your being SATIRICAL to me. đ€
Or just some horrible person who's not concerned with having reliable gaming hardware. đŹ
So I'm not the only one who dislikes Jimmy?
100% agree about Jimmie. He seems more a pc fps elitist lolđ
Same here, I tend to skip out quick as most of the videos tend to be uninformed speculation with no technical due diligence. First video I have stayed through on the channel in a long time.
I bought the firetv ethernet adapter and it works great. No stutter no lag.
or just buy a Y-Cable and hook a USB to LAN adapter on it. It works too.
Was about to make this comment. One comes with the fire tv cube
@@MinutesB4Midnight I think not everyone can effort this expensive device. The cube I mean
@@djthashock how much is it compared to xbox?
@@breadsticks992 159,99⏠for the Cube , 69,99⏠for the 4K Stick version. 5,98⏠for the Y Cable it called " USB-OTG Adapter Cable Micro USB 2.0 Type A with Power
It's the future because the price of entry is much lower, the device is much smaller, and you need to pay forever.
edit: many replies seem to think that I approve of the pay-forever model. I was being sarcastic, seeing it from the point of view of the companies who control the hardware. Whatever they decide becomes the new normal, which is why I hate the new generations of consoles.
that last part is all the more reason not to do it.
@@nvmskullworks4794 It's constant profits for the companies. And since they're the ones making the consoles/services, it's going to be the future of console gaming.
Rather pay once to own forever like my PS2
It might be cheaper for people that don't play a lot of games.
Pay forever? đđ
At about 17:40, you mention that you can not connect via ethernet...but with an adapter you can connect the firestick to ethernet. Still not sure if it would make a difference, but it is available.
What are you talking about? never said he was only wifi
Depends on the adapter speed/gateway width.
The fire cube has an Ethernet. I played Luna games which is their streaming service for games. Works better on Wi-Fi than my series X does streaming games wired to the internet...
What if the TV has a ethernet port, would that work?
It does make a difference. I've used a sideloaded firestick with an ssk hub and the experience is much better with far shorter loading times and way less lag (used a wired controller as well)
This man is either rich or packing some serious stuff. That's some 10 wife
He is definitely hitting above his weight class.đ€Łđđ€Ł
Lmfao bro I was thinking the same thing! His wife is a hard 10, he's punching way above his weight. Now we know why he's kept her hidden away đ€Łđ€Ł
Came here to say the thing. I was expecting more comments like this đ
@@pipinfresh Me too. She is crazy hot. Damn. Lucky guy.
Hit the comments to say, yooooooooooooo baby girl! "The motion was tight", OooooOOOooooOoo, I see you. I bet it is.
Either dude's plug on the Xbox dongle is keepin you happy
or..............
Him pluggin his dongle in is keepin you happy
It's crazy that they don't allow for an ethernet connection. WiFi is disrupted by too many sources, and often comes with the added benefit of high latency.
Amazon has an Ethernet adapter that plugs into that micro b port on the stick. My fire sticks and fire cube are hardwired (the cube came with one). When I bought the extra ones for the sticks, they were $15 ea., and they run at 100mb.
100mb cap? Might as well stick with WIFI. can triple that.
â@@Plutoboy85 im at like 1.2gbp
@HansBelphegor awesome. It's so good.
I agree, Google has a Ethernet connection and I love it, although Google Stadia is no more, games ran great on the platform.
I have had an 85" Samsung TV with this Xbox feature built in . Having the ethernet connected to my TV still does not fix the Input lag . The input lag is caused by BT signal interference between the remote and the device , which can be fixed with placement of electronic devices around the play space.
So like moving the TV remote farther?
If Microsoft wanted this so badly just turn our TVs into consoles outright.
They have cloud gaming, a newer, Samsung TVs
â@@laftythetornado I was just getting ready to say this my lg can stream game pass and a bunch of PS and PC games all on its own.
that wouldnât work out like how you think it would because then we would be buying a new tv every so often when they decide to not let the updates come through to that tv model that you have
@@luissalas7787 That happens to every Android TV anyway, it'll still be a high quality TV passed Microsoft's support cycle. The idea of a TV being an Xbox just skips the step of getting extra hardware.
Sticks are cheaper and easier to replace.
This is 100% an advertisement for X-Cloud / Fire Stick
He has an Affiliated link for the Firestick so you sir are 100% correct.
Itâs not. Being critical is not part of advertising
Yeah it's pretty scummy
â@@dang9668the point flew right over your head.
He's critical of the Xbox experience on Fire TV Stick. It's not an ad.
They sent you 12 MONTHS to TEST IT?!?!?!
Yea... why shouldn't they have?
It is promoting, it is their platform after all...
@@ahmedmahomed a 1 month trial wouldâve done the trick but I guess the more the merrier! đ€đœ
maybe to give the viewers the impression that he would be playing it for a whole year? Like some mind games idk. Or maybe they just don't really care for the price difference, it is XBOX we are talking about after all.
@@remipennel121 youâre probably exactly right! Never thought of it that way
Wait, 12 months of the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate?
The lack of the full gamepass library is another issue that I have with the Xbox app
Tbh, using a rather simple HDMI adapter for a game streaming subscription service isn't the worst idea I heard in recent times, largely depending on pricing of course.
Input lag is still unforgivable.
It's Stadia, but with a better selection of games.
You gotta use the right power adapter for the fire stick, it's notoriously finicky with power. The TV USB power could be as low as 500 mah. Fire stick will use way more power than that at idle, adding in Bluetooth, wifi and streaming and decoding, that firestick is being pushed to its limits. The wired Ethernet solves Internet lag, but it also has its own beefier power supply. It fixes a lot of issues since the power is coming from that.
Literally came to see if someone else said the same thing.
Yo man your wife is fuckin gorgeous y'all look good together đŻ
Creepy
@@colesdad2000 Its not creepy to say your wife looks gorgeous... That being said i would say 6/10 not "Gorgeous" but above average the average American.
Tf does any of this have to do with Xbox?
All her beautiful genes will be lost
Their house is too
I could be totally wrong but I wonder if not plugging the fire stick into a external power supply had something to do with the initial problems, because even if you're just updating the firestick it's recommended to plug it into external power instead of the usb power on the t.v because it will take longer than it should, but I don't know, because it seems like it shouldn't matter but it does.
I havenât had issues with other apps but Iâll definitely check it out and compare
I think youâre onto something, while you can get these sticks to work with the TVs usb, itâs been my experience over time that they will start shutting themselves off so itâs probably a lower power draw.
They do not recommend using the TVs USB port to power the stick. It warns you about it especially when doing firmware updates.
It is mostly bad, it makes it generally slower, I own three around the house and Iâve noticed they work better plugged externally.
@@XboxReady Thing is you might not see an issue under normal load, you would see a difference if you do something that uses more system resources. I've seen devices on amazon that are basically a USB plug and a small battery that are meant for installations where the only power option is the TV port. The stick can draw extra juice from the battery if there's a sudden spike in amperage. And the TV port can just charge the battery all the time.
I assume the controller is connected via Blutooth, not the 2.4GHz proprietary signal? That would explain a lot of the lag. I can see it work as a supplement to your Xbox console, in cases like the one you mentioned in this video. But having people pay $20 a month to get the Ultimate tier to have THIS as their primary experience would be a tough sell. I wouldn't want this to be my introduction into gaming either, as the lag might mess with your head and make you believe that games are simply not for you. I tried the NVidea Shield with GeForce Now a while ago, and even though I hooked it up via ethernet cable, the additional lag introduced by connecting my Controller with Blutooth made gaming unenjoyable for me, once I plugged it in it did improve significantly but still suffered from the odd hitch, so I ended up sending it back. My favorite remote game experience is Playstation Remote. I got my Playstation plugged directly into my router and the router is plugged into my PC then the controller is plugged into my PC as well. It works, I don't have to buy any additional devices and it's not hidden behind any subscription paywalls.
The biggest thing about input delay on a device like this is wireless network simply isn't stable enough for cloud gaming just yet. With a wired connection I'm sure it runs great, but otherwise I imagine it's very inconsistent.
I get a line that scrolls down the screen with streaming with textures going from 720p to 480p with 300mbps wifi and 400 hardliners to series x.
Brooo thatâs your wife!? Drop the stick (pause) and focus on her. đŻ
I know someone was going to give his his wife a compliment it's well deserved
Pretty sure sheâs well taken care of, her skin is glowing and sheâs keeping eye contact with him. Theyâre happy and I love to see it
Just gotta keep the bread on the table
There is hope for us geeks!
She communicates well and is articulate! Thatâs a step up above ladies Iâve dated and they go âI dunnoâ to a lot of questions.
Iâm getting my buddy to paint my firestick 4K max like a little Xbox lol
Is there anything different about the fire stick? Is it the same one you would buy on Amazon?
I dont even thing a Casual gamer would want to live with the lag and inconvienince that comes with cloud gaming. I know i couldnt.
Thank you for this. As a father, I've been working and wanted to get back to gaming since I don't have any consoles anymore nor a PC and was thinking if this thing was a good idea, but if it'll give me lag issues, then I just want to save me the "ick" stress of it.
@@robertwolfganI use NVIDIA now cloud gaming and itâs fantastic. I run a 350mb internet connection and very average pc problem and lag free.. do a priority day pass and test it out, naturally you would need to spend a few hundred on a pc before hand, check out there minimum specs
@@robertwolfgannvidia GeForce is the way to go for streaming games
Per usual, what is Xbox thinking/not thinking?
â@@ronellamieux7944there's still a very noticeable input latency.
I have that exact fire stick and can not find the app on its store is anyone else having the same issue? Hopefully they fix the issue soon smh
the firestick was probly still setting up and updating software it had to be doing something in the background when u first played and was done the next time
I don't think people will remember that the fire stick is capable of gaming.
Don't do what this guy does. Never plug any tv stick or box's power into the tv usb port. TV's at general only supply 500 milliamps. The fire stick at least needs 1 amp. What this means is at first it might work or it might work for years before failing but one day it will destroy your TV's usb port. Check your TV's specifications first before doing what this guy did because if your TV is a cheaper model the chance of it breaking is much higher. If your TV can supply 1 amp go for it but otherwise do not attempt.
Did you turn on game mode on you're tv? Helps reduce input lag
You can hook up a FireTV stick with an Ethernet adapter...
What they don't tell you about streaming Xbox Games is that it works best via a 5Ghz wireless network.....That's how it's meant to be played !!
It will work via a 2.4Ghz wireless network BUT it won't run anywhere near as smooth and it'll have more lag etc. etc. !!
Well yes that's because 5Ghz sends a faster signal.
RIP Me: Died of capped wifi data & Too poor to upgrade.
Wire it. My fire cube can be wired. The fire cube runs streaming games on wifi via Luna better than my series X does wired directly to my nighthawk... Amazon has the streaming services down Microsoft needs to step it up especially considering I live not far from where all the magic happens for Microsoft ....
The other thing about streaming most aren't aware of. If you don't have unlimited internet, there's no point in doing this. As a gamer you game for hours and hours. If you don't have unlimited internet bundled in your cable bill. You will always over use the data usage. Another thing, nobody should be streaming in Native 4k. One hour of 4k streaming is 15GB of wasted internet. That's why CZcams by default is on 360p. It's helping you, not hurting you.
Good info
âïž gaming depends so much on your internet connection! Sucks it's not more stable, but that's the game when you play cloud it can be great until your internet slows down a bit!
Not the 2k theme music đđđđ„
Make sure you use something like wifi analyzer and select a free channel on your router. You only get lag and glitches when a neighbours wifi is overlapping yours on the same channel. Also have everything else in your home connect using the 2.4ghz and keep the 5ghz band for your firestick only. Setting the frequency to 80mhz will also give you more throughput. The fire stick also has MU-MIMO so turn that on in your router too, it usually only works when you turn 80mhz on first. Basically dial in your wifi connection and you'll have an almost seamless experience
This is insanely solid advice. Glad to see someone rlly knows what they're talking about.
^ for real. could honestly use more helpful tips like this for stuff like wifi. make some tutorials dude, iâll be your first viewer!
Having a Wifi 6 or greater router would probably help as well
Thank you, I live in a very dense building area and I was having stutters with GeforceNow that I was not having before getting here.
@@mac1bc possibly, really depends on your area. if ur in a big city theres gonna be more people with wifi 6 routers so more people around the same frequency. still a help but less and less the closer u live to the city
Nice looking Pad Brother .... Glad to see your doing well in the new place ..... đđđđ
So, one has to buy a network /lan adapter to connect the fire stick via lan cable to the modem . It has been available for yrs. Just sharing some info.
So if I were to sell my Xbox console would I need to buy an external memory storage device to access all my games through my Samsung Smart TV?
Just remember you donât own anything by being completely digital.
I don't wanna own them all tho

The input lag. I had that with cloud gaming on console until I realized everything needed to be a wired connection (even the controller helps) which isnât possible with the Firestick. As reference I played 300+ hours of Starfield on an Xbox one S before upgrading to a series S.
The fire stick can be hardwired Ethernet. The adapter is $15, plugs into that micro b port on the stick.
â@@Edgeworthianyou can buy a used series s in the UK for the same price as a fire stick, controller and the ethernet adapter.
It adds up this streaming stuff.
He's also using a roku TV, response time and refresh rate aren't all that good
@@Edgeworthiana otg and 3rd party ethernet can give you better speeds than the Amazon ethernet one
I wonder if updating your router would help
2 questions, will i need to upgrade to ultimate to use app? And my second question, are you able to play the newer games that can't be played on xbox one?
the streaming is only 1080p which is not ideal when using a fancy 4k tv.
Aren't you glad you don't have dial-up? Nothing on the cloud will ever compare to local. You are literally sending an input signal to God knows where, waiting for that to process and send feedback.
The wife interview was a great idea, she plays but not like 8+ hours a day or has been gaming strongly for a while but she is a casual player. It's a great idea that you had separation like that, you have PC master race with the most current specs in a 5-8k PC while the "console peasants" have a good time with what we have and is somwtime more than what we really use it for.
That stick is pretty beefy...any idea how much ram it has on it? I think the normal one has 2gb
i can use cloud gaming on other services like shadow or gforce now but gamepass has input lag and sometimes the game will freeze for a sec and a glitchy line will go down the screen before continuing like nothing happened
Same for me. Gforce now is nearly flawless, while xbox runs a little more rough at times.
Damn⊠he got game đ
screw cloud gaming. physical media all the way
Yet cloud gaming is a great replacement if you don't want to drop 500 on a console, doesn't matter your opinion
@@lvkillawolfvl1921 yeah well your opinions donât matter either buddy so you might wanna keep your little yippers shut and plus cloud gaming is not a great replacement, especially with all the connection issues and all that just saying
@@lvkillawolfvl1921did you miss the parts of controller input lag? Also he didnât even mention that if people in your house are streaming anything else itâs going to eat up the connection. Then his wife said she donât see it replacing her series s and sheâs barely a hardcore gamer.
@Nonlifting_breezy you do realize that unless you are on 10mbps internet then you'll be fine lol, streaming games like this takes 10 max, but usually around 6
@Nonlifting_breezy "I dont see it replacing the series s but I like it because it's hidden and I don't have to unplug or plug anything in I can just grab my controller and olay"
She doesn't see it replacing it in their GAMING ROOM but elsewhere it will
Where can I see what games are on it? Looking for state of decay 2 mostly.
Does the Amazon fire stick cube thing have an Ethernet port? If so I think itâll be better on that since you can hard wire it. I use apple tvâs so I might have to give this a test

You will never ever catch me playing video games on a slow loading laggy fire stick or anything of that nature I will be on consoles till the end of time I'm not streaming garbage and watching it lag on a little fire stick or something similar that's we can performance I'll stick to consoles all day everyday
No! I want to own my physical games and not in cloud. I donât support this new gaming method
I Also did Thought It Was A Mini Refrigerator LOL.
I left console gaming for a few years (had Xbox OG and PS one, then a Wii, then PC only for a while). I got into the trial for XCloud and got to play gamepass on my Samsung phone with an Xbox wireless controller. Being the genius I am, I streamed the whole mess to my Samsung TV. WHAT A KLUDGE!! There was serious input lag from all corners. That said, I had fun. I had a lot of fun. It served as a gateway drug to me getting a Series X. I still play cloud gaming on occasion on my tablet over 5g, with acceptable results.
I think the lag was probably your own Internet. Try it at different times in day and night and youl find out if its a WiFi problem or the stick
Great video. I have a question, can you connect 2 controllers to the firestick for 2 player games?
Cloud gaming doesn't support multiplayer on the same system unfortunately
Wonder how the controller syncs up to tv or to stick I think that would made a difference especially if u synced up to an older tv
I have a fire cube fire stick ect they connect via Bluetooth to the device itself. All Amazon devices recognize Microsoft controllers. Been streaming games on Amazon Luna for years now. It also streams the same games better than a series X directly wired to gig speed does. Idk why but I bet Amazon's servers are just better idk.
Background operations?
More like network operations. Internet traffic.
I have crazy good internet. The problem is not the price range. Its the fact that streaming is garbage.
You can get an ethernet adapter for the fire stick. Supposedly, there's no lag when you install it. But if the price is not the problem, just keep/buy a normal Xbox.
What kind of controller do you use with Samsung game hub tv!
Could the initial lag be due to the software updating behind the scenes?
I mean this is honestly good for families and kids who canât afford consoles. Itâs inclusive. Now kids wonât be made fun of for not playing games that other kids brag or talk about that can now be available to them
But what if they can't afford good internet for cloud gaming?
8:35 đ€šđ€šđ€š
This must be the new "hardware" they were talking about......... because they are scared to use the word CONSOLE anymore.
I have a fire tv with the fire stick built in will I be able to use cloud gaming on it? I can plug my Ethernet into the tv directly so it would be a strong connection for streaming the games
I feel like you starting off with a bad experience with the fire stick but waking up to a new and better experience is due to Xbox monitoring your gameplay as you go.
YOURE WIFE???? bro focus on her
Calm down
@@22QXX112 I am tho
He most likeley is but can he atlest play a damn gameđ
âYourâ lol
No way you think every waking moment should be giving to your wife âŠ..
I hadn't used my Fire Stick 4K Max since early June (only for traveling) and I had 4 updates to go through first, then I installed the Xbox app. I think that your initial lag issue may have been the updates. Played Halo 3 for testing and it was flawless.
Why are you not converting the mono recordings to stereo my guy? It might be okay in regular playback but it sounds weird in headphones to hear one voice on the left and the other on the right
Lately, Iâve mostly been using my Xbox as a streaming device đ
17:42 There's an ethernet adapter for the Amazon Fire TV Stick.
Well i see it is listed on the fire tv and is available for my devices. I have a fire tv and a firestick. But its unavailable to download. Here in the UK
Not available in all countries yet...be patient or simply sideload it.
You can do this already on any Google TV box. Do it on my Nvidia shield all the time and play game pass
What about the price increase for games pass
Probably will go up to 19.99 and everyone will start buying the stick and playing on windows. Anything but Xbox console it seems. They don't know that thisis gonna hurt console gaming for Microsoft
@BenDalorian75 it's never been about consoles They sell them at a loss anyways it pays more having everyone pay 20$ a month then it dose sell 10mill consoles at a loss
Xbox being on every platform is expanding there reach further then there competitors
More people playing on there app the better
Everyone dogs the series s because is not as powerful but in a time where everything is so expensive and inflation is so high having a cheap budget option for the mass is better for the consumer which is us and this cloud gaming push is something that definitely could be improved but has a solid place in the market and definitely for lower income or more casual gamers and on top of the games pass pc ports there reach is bigger then ever
This is gonna kill the Series S. I think that's the plan. They hired Amazon to be the hit man. Damn,ironically I ordered my carbon black Series S from Amazon.
as an owner of the series s 512gb, I can tell you that it's generally much better to play natively on a console than cloud gaming. although if you wanted to save money and have a good internet connection then maybe it was better to buy the stick.
I do not think this will kill the S. It is cloud gaming. Streaming games stinks.
Hopefully not. Internet problems are still quite prevalent today to solely rely on streaming for gaming (especially competitive PvP games). Home internet can randomly have a month of disconnection issues and 5G internet will be wonky when you really need it đ
@@gentugo yeah I agree, it's a great concept which has definitely improved over the years, but requires a good internet speed and low latency to get the best results
No way S will be fine.
Was it strictly Gamepass games or can it be used for remote play as well?
So I have been playing head and there with the browser version on my iPhone and I have similar issues. Iâve noticed it usually comes down to my wifi/data speed. It takes the smallest amount of lag at times that causes the controls to âget stuckâ in position and I realize Iâm stuck in running super far away once everything catches up
Like if xbox fan
đ
Bro stop bringing up your wife and get to the content.
she bad tho
I hope they include the 4k version of the firestick in the bundle as its a little faster than the lite and regular versions but if you really do have the money get the firecube huge improvement in speed
Didnt they learn from the failure of Google Stadia?
Xbox cloud sucks i doubt it will be any good
It might depend your internet, because it works fine for me, with a 2Gbps Fiber (soon to be 8Gbps)
Yeah obviously it'll work fine with that speed
â@Spidouz
Your Internet just sucks, I have fiber internet and I play on the cloud all the time, can't even tell a difference tbh
Worked fine when I flew from Kansas to Maine, lay over at the airport for 3 hours, no problem. Played Diablo 4 no problem. Brought my Xbox controller with me
And used my iPhone
Then what's the point about an Xbox just get a fire stick or a PC
because xbox you don't need to stream or just be stuck to gamepass games
There's multiple points to it, those who aren't heavy gamers that don't want to drop 500 on a console, those who already have a console but don't want to have to move it to different locations that they won't play much at, etc. Even for a small form factor where you know you'll only play game pass, maybe it'll be able to stream games you own at some point
it depends on the time of day you tested it, cloud gaming quality drops during peak hour (after 10 am, until the afternoon)
3:20 i knew i heard it. Careless whisper is playing
So, about your first experience with game pass on Amazon. The first time I used Amazon Luna on my fire tv stick, there was a hell of lag until I updated the software. It sounds like the software updated automatically overnight before you captured the footage gam, aiming streaming services, especially on media players, live and die by their software patches.
Curious if putting an adapter dongle with ethernet port between the TV and the fire stick if that would do anything?
You can get an Ethernet adapter for fire stick. You can get third party ones that also have usb ports
Did you plug it into the same slow tv? Maybe its your TV thats causing the games to lag?
That's exactly how that could workâ@GHOSTSTARSCREAM
The layout of the fire stick looks way better than the Xbox itself
Now i donât have much experience with xbox streaming. i do use moonlight to stream my pc games to my tv and also my projector. Could it be an issue with the fire stick increasing input delay? My projector gives me way more input delay than my tv and they are on the same network and pretty equal distance from the router. Speed tests are also similar but it is almost night and day between the devices. Would be cool if you made a follow up testing the wireless streaming on an ipad and or laptop on wifi to compare.
I stream Xbox Cloud Gaming exclusively. Fits into my lifestyle. No games, accessories, consoles, cords. Just games when I want. Like having access to Geforce Now and Luna also. I personally only pay for Gamepass at this point.
Does the control rumbles with compatible games??
My internet definitely isnât fast enough for a fire stick
Does it do wifi 6? Or maybe the app just needs to be optimized (it is in testing right?)
I cloud game Starfield all day long on my ROG Ally... But I have gig speed internet and a wifi 6e Nighthawk setup.
This is awesome. You can play xbox on fire stick now so I can play upstairs in the bedroom without buying a whole 2nd xbox
The "double time" issue she described is definitely an Xbox problem. I've experienced it with multiple controllers and even replacing the thumbstick did not solve it. It's probably the software or signal.
Cloud gaming is absolutely shocking on the xbox itself why would they put it on a firestick?
This streaming thing seems like a good idea as it's just not remote play but streaming by the cloud alogether.
With the input lag, that may be from your router switching from a congested wifi channel to a less congested one. There's two ways to help alleviate this
1) use a WiFi analyzer app on your phone to see what wifi channels are the most isolated and set your router to them manually
2) You can get an ethernet adapter for the fire stick which will eliminate the issue of wifi channel congestion and make input lag much more consistent
In this situation streaming from the Series S to the fire stick would be a better option as it keeps everything on your home network, though I'm not sure if that's supported
The problem is if ur experience is most peoples first experience with it as well then 9/10 ppl are gonna give up on it without giving it a chance
