Well holy crap, I just purchased my first Firestick 4K Max and didnt realize just how powerful this thing is ! Mind you, I paid $95 for mine but then I am in Canada and you know how that goes and now need to go out and buy some more goodies. Good stuff …. Thanks …. 😊
Absolutely brilliant easy to do firestick storage update, my son could do this for me within the time you made a couple of coffees,I’m a disabled army war veteran,and having the easy access to stored recorded movies is far better,than chasing all over the internet to find something I like. Well done mate,great job. 👍……jimmy
Bruuuuuh! Thank you for this. I was so disappointed when I ordered all the equipment and couldn't figure out why it wasn't working. Thank you for this!
Never thought about using an OTG adapter, and wasn't aware of the booster/usb. Thanks SO much for this video
Very good and easy video, very informative!!! 😊
Wow! Incredible. I'm amazed. I had no clue all these features were available!
I increased my storage on all my sticks and cubes a few years ago. Works great. I record from Tv mate all the time. Love the insane sorage.
I'm glad I saw this. Aside from perhaps my own little modification this is pretty much how I'm going to setup my outdoor TV and issues with electrical outlets on a post. Thanks dude!
I only saw part 1 and attempted to try the setup. It worked really well, but never followed up on the rest because of life. Now with this comprehensive guide, I'll be doing expansion on my GF's Firestick and my own.
Thank you. We wouldn't be able to use the Firestick without your help
I’ve learned more about fire sticks than anyone else posting helpful hints I just want to thank you sir been using my 4 k max and learned everything about it from you I hope all your followers pay attention to you, you explain everything to where it’s easy to do and again thank you.
As long as you understand that stability of signal is more important that the speed number. Please make sure you watch our video on it. Super important
@@CuriosityCafe absolutely true
I really enjoyed this info on the fire stick. Thank you.
I love you content I’m always learning new things to do to my Firestick. Thank you
Awesome!! I need that!! Thanks for all your helpful videos!!
Perfect "how to" right there. You're always a wealth of knowledge. You help so many of us! Thank you.
Thank you for the classes every time señor I learn a lot from you👏👏👏💪👍
GREAT info. Excited to get one and put it to work.
Good info, as usual. Ive been following you for years now!
Wow!!! Well said brother. Thanks for the cool info. It is appropriated.
That's awesome. I can't wait to do this to my firestick. Thanks, I love your videos. On a fixed income but I try to keep up with the latest technology. Keep doing what you do. Again, thank you for your time it helps us people who need a little help. 😊
Great video thank u so much, I’m definitely going to do this 👍🏾👍🏾😊
Thanks for all of the info on what to get to add external memory to firestick
You are the best at what you do
Great job
All of your info is so helpful. Thank you! ❤
thanks for all the information you provided for us I have learned a lot
This is great and one of your better videos. Did not know they made a usb power cable. No more cable dangling down to the wall plug.
Thanks for letting me know the usb power booster bricked are back in stock. Just ordered 5 of them!
Very nice setup works like a charm
Glad you posted this, just found the step I missed lol.
FANTASTIC....I saw the 3 separate videos but I must say this is a great idea to have all three videos together. I am going to buy the Mission Power cable because I have been having problems with the Firestick and I didn't know what was causing this (on Amazon UK they have a third-party Power Cable but I plumped for the one you recommended as I have seen some negative reviews of the third party one). I really do think this cable will do the job that I want. Do you not think that the Firestick should have more storage than what it has? Great Video....keep on doing what you are doing. Thanks Harry (Northern Ireland)
Love this setup. Great info. Thank you
Thank you for the video, it was a great help in getting it all put together.
Thanks for all the info in one video 👍
Great information 👍
Awesome advice as usual! YOU were the one who got me interested in getting a friestick in the beginning. I have always found your suggestions and advice invaluable. Thank you.
Thanx for all you do…
Thank You! ❤ This answered I think all my questions from your set up video! I needed this it was Great! Awesome content 😃🥂
Thank you! I’ve learned so much from you over the years.
Thanks again for another great video, as I update my fire sticks your videos get paused alot, rewound and watched again. can't beleave I said rewound shows how old I am
Great and useful video
Explained in detail and well done
I definitely going to this to my 4k max
And if I had another one too
That’s awesome
Wouldn't mind the whole set. Plus the expansion cables. Watching from kenya
Wow, that's awesome. Thanks for the video. Get up the great work.
I really could use that O T G adapter!! Please pick me 😊 I love all your helpful Videos! They really do teach me A-lot about the Fire Stick. 4K mak is awesome! I learn different things all the time!! Thank You 😊
Very good and easy understanding
Amazing
I love watching your videos. I have learned so much.
Great job lots of room thanks
Thank you very much sir, very informative 😎
Man that was awesome I have to get that mission power cable, an I do get lots of buffering so being without the power cord will be good thanks
Great video, very informative and easy to follow.
I’m thinking of extending my new 4K Max fire stick now to 1 terabyte that’s plenty all the kit for around £70 I’ve looked on Amazon 👍🏻cheers
Very Interesting....I am going to give it a try.
It's awesome that you do this. Thank you
This is great video and so much better method. Thanks
we don't know our passwords and are afraid of losing our stuff. can we discover our passwords or backup the fire stick or maybe transfer the data into a newer fire stick? we have two fire sticks and they are both very old with only 5 gig of space. i love your videos and im going to order some of this stuff from amazon. thanks for all of your help
Love all of your videos so helpful!!!
Thanks so much for this video.
Would using a 2TB thumb drive have any disadvantages or make it a complicated problem? Is it something you have covered before that I missed?
You rock and helping us out is awesome.
James
Great vidio many thanks your the man
Very tech savvy. Thanks so much
Thanks for your videos!
When you use explorer and transfer apps to usb unit and there is an update to any individual app you get error message "not enough space to update". At that point you need to uninstall the app and reinstall it and then transfer the app back the usb unit.
There is a way to do it without uninstalling and reinstalling. We've shared it
i didn't know thx learn something knew everyday
great job as always
I purchased the equipment you listed in your video, which are the fire stick 4K max, the 0TG adapter, and the mission USB power cable. When the fire stick 4K MAX formats the 2 TB storage, for the device storage, the new app are still being download to the fire stick 4K internal storage, and not the device storage that the fire stick TV 4K is formatting. Is there anything that can be done?
Did you try installing from aptoide? You might be selecting apps from the Amazon App Store that can't go to external. If you install the same apps from aptoide, they will
Oh snap!! I love it
Thank you for this info very helpful
Hey, I did this and it works great. Most of the apps I add go on the memory stick. My question is, is there an app that would let me download videos or pictures to the firestick ( new 4k max with higher memory, or to the memory stick. Thanks again, your videos are a great help.
as usual, really helpful
Great video and information. If your TV only has a USB 2.0 port, will it still supply enough wattage to power a external hard drive and the Amazon Firestick 4K Max, since the USB power adapter that comes with it is rated at 15 watts?
Depends on the drive. A thumb drive, yes. But if you are trying to get a 2TB, do the method we shared in our recent video with the use of a Mission powered cable. It will boost and hold the power to the drive.
I hope that works. The one I got before stopped working and broke my firestick until I figured out what was going on.
Great instructional video. Purchase everything from above links you had recommended. You mentioned recording tivimate to Seagate 2t can't figure out how to do that could you explain please
THANK YOU
We have support posts on this over on Patreon where you can get private help. Can’t really help over public comments on UA-cam
That's some really good information and how to. For applications installed on the usb storage, do they get updated automatically from the Amazon app store?
How new of a TV does it have to be to be able to power the USB power supply? I think I remember older models may not be able to do this from a previous video...
As always love the content and appreciate the tips and tech recommemdations.
Just make sure your tv has a USB port. If it doesn't, you can still use this with the power outlet
Do only certain apps transfer to the external drive? or can you store all your apps on the external drive so your firestick has only a couple apps on it? I currently am only able to save 3 or 4 apps to my external drive and everything else goes to my firestick. Am I doing something wrong? Great video and channel you have.
Only certain ones if you are installing from the amazon app store, but all if you install from aptoide. Do you have that app store installed? We have installers on patreon
great setup
I like this video you exsplain it simple terms
You use a 64Gb Thumbdrive in earlier examples. For the demonstration you use a 1Tb external drive. Is there a problem using a 1Tb thumbdrive? Do you recommend a specific 1Tb thumbdrive that performs better than others? How about mini-flashdrives?
You can use any size drive. But the larger thumb drives won't work well because of transfer rate. Stick with the ones we provided links to in the description section
Cool,have to look into it.
Great info 👍
I do have a question : Why did you choose this particular Seagate hard drive drive as they seem to have drive failures . I take it that we could use any basic hard drive that is USB3 ……
It’s the lowest power draw 2TB and has worked perfect for us. I’ve tried over a dozen drives and none worked. Either this low power draw, the Toshiba one, or go down to a small thumb drive (64gb or smaller) otherwise it will fail to work
I need this. Thanks for the info.
Awesome video
I brought everything you recommended. I had trouble with hard drive being recognized. But i formatted it and then the fire stick recognized it. I then reformatted the hard drive with the fire stick. All seemed to work ok. But when i turned it on again the fire tv stick would not boot. I found out tha gwhen i took out the hard drive the fire tv stick would boot up. But when i put in the hard drive the fire tv stick would just die and i would get a blank screen. If i unhooked the hard drive it would boot up again. Looks like power adapter that plugs in usb on tv has not enough power to support hard drive. I tried a usb thumb drive and had the same results. Do you think i have a bad usb power boost device? I even tried swapping otg cable.
It’s a power issue for you. Either you didn’t pre-charge the mission power cable as required before first use, or your usb on your tv doesn’t supply enough power to keep it charged. Not sure which cause I’m not there
❤ u for sharing your knowledge
Can the added device storage hold apps plus data (eg music)?
Yes
Help! I got everything that was recommended by you on the vid! Step by step with you and the dang 2 tb external drive isn’t being acknowledged. Or recognized! What am I doing wrong ? Help! lol the storage is the same item number! It is driving me insane! Love your vids thank you!
Did you watch our troubleshooting video we did? I would start there
I want to know if you have video for setting up Dvr on your 4k max
UA-cam won't allow it. Reach out on Patreon and we can help you with it
Thanks for the info
wow thanks for your help
When I click on the OTG hub you have in your list, it does not show the one you are using in your video. The one Amazon shows and I ordered is a wall power type. How do you make it work with your Firestick so I can have Ethernet. Good video except for the OGB hub.
Yeah, the one I used was out of stock. This one works fine. Don't even need the OTG adapter with it
I can’t see it in my head. I am technically challenged senior. You have one power plug on Firestick. If you plug in the adapter where does the Mission power plug go. What am I missing. I need to see how you use/ hook up the split USB hub and still have the power block. Thanks.
We walk you through each device and how to plug it in. Right in this video
this OTG adaptor link is for a product that does not work as the video shows. It has no micro usb female connection.
The one we linked has everything you need. Rewatch the video closely. Maybe you have it connected incorrectly
Got the equipment, set up as in your video, Still not detecting external storage. Not even getting the UNABLE TO READ USB DEVICE SCREEN. Can you advise?
We actually have some help videos for people that might have missed a step. Most issues are getting the wrong drive (we linked the correct one for you), or did not pre-charge the mission cable. Basic stuff. If you got the wrong drive, you may have to format it FAT32 separately, or replace is with the Seagate Slim One Touch
Good stuff thank you
Enjoyed your video as always. My TV has HDMI, RCA and VGA input. Do I get an adapter for HDMI or VGA? Thanks
They have adapters on Amazon amzn.to/3Ugekpl
For this process though you don’t need any adapters for that. Just what’s in the video
Can I download live tv programs to a Hard drive to watch when i get home from work?
Yes, we have a few videos on the channel to help and private videos available on Patreon
Ok, so I've watched this episode of hooking up the 2 terabyte external drive. But, when I install the drive, it is not prompting to format. Why? I promise, everything is hooked up as you direct.
Did you watch our help video on it? Last video on the channel?
Shouldn't you be able the OTG hub as the OTG Adapter since it has the USB slots?
Depends on the hub. I did add a link to one that can be used
Luv the video
Can you do same for the firecube and how to record tv on the usb. Thank you
Different process. We posted a video about 4 years ago on how to do it on a cube. Still on the channel
