    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

    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)

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?

    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?

    • @CuriosityCafe
      @CuriosityCafe  2 місяці тому +1

      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 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.

    • @CuriosityCafe
      @CuriosityCafe  Рік тому

      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

      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
