Was having trouble with the fire stick and connecting it! I watched over 10 videos from popular channels on UA-cam on how to set- up the Fire-stick tv. Then I clicked on this channel and my tv is working great! Rick, you are one of the most underrated UA-cam ever!!
Bought 2 when they were on sale at target. My son in law hooked up first one then I hooked up second one. The hardest thing was opening remote to put batteries in. Big PIA, love should have bought a long time ago. Watched this guy and helped me with a few things.-Thanks
I just got that Fire Stick last week. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! The best $39 I ever spent. Now I can watch Netlfix and Amazon shows etc on my TV instead of on my computer.
Yooooo. I live in Miami Florida in Venetian Islands, i’m 28 Dominican born in boston MA. I got marrien September. I just saw your video man. Thank you for trying to help everyone. We need more people like you. Because of you I just ordered the Fire Stick and cannot wait for it to get here. The 4K 🔥
Just ordered one and they promise delivery for Fri. Thank you, you made it easy and enjoyable. My grandkids are going to be proud of me. Oh man you just said Alexa and she came on. I got the echo dot the other day.I'm having a great time with all this technology, hope I can do it easily. Again thanks.
Thank you Rick.....I just got my Amazon fire tv stick today . Your video was great. You make it look easy , I am electronically challenged , hopefully it will be as easy for me to install.
I have a smart TV, but it's just a pain to control it with an IR remote, I like having the fire remote under a blanket or just not having to point it at the TV.
Spoiler alert, to avoid a bunch of problems, keep the power cord for the fire stick away from your antenna cord if you have a apartment antenna, it causes broken up picture and sound.
Rick, you da MAN!!!! You are the ONLY mentor who explained the this item from soup to nuts! I needed to know why the remote/screen were not syncing. NO ONE BUT YOU explained that! I am 69 and do fairly well w new tech but could not for the life of me figure it out w their instructions.....they don't speak in English! My problem was the I didn't realize I had to go to my TV's input menu and go to HDMI 3.DOHHHHHHH! In any event, thank you so much and I's like to add, you deliver the info in such a clear, concise way.....no um's and a's and wasted time. You're also somewhat zany! ♥♥♥
at least they gave us free batteries for the remote.i like that I can power this by using a usb port.i'm thinking of getting one to replace my cable that costs almost twice as much,and has a lot of channels I don't care for
So, I come in the living room and my firestick was on the floor. I panicked because I didn't know how to hook it back up. Thanks to my husband. I just figured it out. It's pretty darn easy. I still watched this video anyway and 👍.
Great help. I did not know I could plug that USB into the tv and let it power it. One less thing to plug into outlet. I am going to try this when I get home
What button on your Firestick remote do you use to scroll through the various networks in order to select your own? I can't dislodge it from the first network on the left (mine is third from the left)?
Thanks for the exciting video. Besides the amazon pswd, what other password is required for set up? I already have cable tv and have many expensive premium channels ugh. Can the fire stick be used with just basic cable service? Thanks
I don't have this just checking out other options besides cable is this better than amazon Roku in your opinion? And what do you need prime for meaning what programming can you not get without it?
Thanks for the video,and the explanation.....one question,I do need to have an internet to get access to all those channels? The fire stick can catch Gol TV???
I love my ROKU 2 & 4! I thought about buying this fire stick for the parents. Have you watched Bosch? Excellent series too. Season 3 should be coming out soon!
Just bought it and loving it so far. One question though. Is there anyway to turn it off without unplugging it? Don't really want to have it on standby 24-7.
What's best this or chrome cast ? I have chrome n I love also roku.but roku u need remote control chromecast u can use cell phone ,more convenient for me.
Rick just bought a firestick. Watched your setup video. Not only helpful but funny as well. Thanks for the laugh. Question, did you ever move after viewing the weather?....lol
Thank you for your tutorial-for-dummies, I am a total newb at this kind of stuff & my FireStick has been sitting here, taunting me. I DO have Prime & love it, so am finally ready to set up my Stick. Especially since DISH no longer has HBO (f*kking AT&T!), so I have to use "HBO NOW" to watch Game of Thrones. Will the TV easily go back & forth between DISH programming & the FireStick ? I guess I'll find out :-)
If i already have netflix as separate subscription and watch it on my laptop streaming, can i watch that without signing up with Amazon TV? I just want the firestick to watch Netflix on a tv with a remote for friends and family who come over to hang out.
Hey Rick Do you have Dish Network? Welcome to the Dish Network Neighborhood!!!! I just left Spectrum Cable TV (cause Spectrum Cable dropped "Lassie") I found out Dish Network has a Channel that plays "Lassie" so since Dish Network has "Lassie" I went with Dish Network !!!! Satellite TV is radically cool!!!!
Rick once you buy the fire stick. Are the movies free? What kind of TV should I buy to use this? Do I have to have wifi in my house? I have an older TV. But I think it's getting ready to go out. Which TV would you recommend? Thanks.
+Thomas Tommy Yes most of the movies are free if you are an amazon prime member or netflix. I have a Vizio 70" Led tv. Samsung is good too. Any of the good names. Good luck. :)
Hi, You can get many apps of different channels like all of the other streaming services. Live and replays, many movies, shows and all kinds of TV. I still like it.
Do you have to have internet or wifi? I don't have cable or internet. Only my android phone which is AT&T and dosnt allow you to use any other electronics. I have unlimited data but still AT&T won't let anyone share the data with tv, tablet or laptop.
Cool review, the excitement once it connected, LOL. So 2 and 1/2 questions. Does the firestick connect to your router(Wi-Fi)? And do you need Amazon Prime? Those are the only 2 components and your goid to go?
Yes it connects to your router wifi. No you don't need Prime but they trick you into a free month usually. Then you have to remember to cancel. There is a lot more to watch with Prime but it's not needed.
Thanks...i wonder why i see prices for 50 bucks on the same thing when i can get it on best buy for 40 bucks...also there are places on ebay selling it for 80 bucks...what gives here?
Was having trouble with the fire stick and connecting it! I watched over 10 videos from popular channels on UA-cam on how to set- up the Fire-stick tv. Then I clicked on this channel and my tv is working great! Rick, you are one of the most underrated UA-cam ever!!
+kadidiatou sacko Thanks! I'm glad if I could help.

Mine is going to be delivered today. I’m worried about the remote battery compartment, because it’s the one thing everybody seems to complain about!
I just got that Fire Stick last week. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! The best $39 I ever spent. Now I can watch Netlfix and Amazon shows etc on my TV instead of on my computer.
Also, I just got the Amazon fire TV app on my IPhone. It only took a minute to set up! LOVE
+2000konnie Nice. I just downloaded the app 1 minute ago. :)

Do you still have to have a Netflix account to watch on fríe stick? Are the Netflix shows free on fire stick?
Terry Stroth where?
Yooooo. I live in Miami Florida in Venetian Islands, i’m 28 Dominican born in boston MA. I got marrien September. I just saw your video man. Thank you for trying to help everyone. We need more people like you. Because of you I just ordered the Fire Stick and cannot wait for it to get here. The 4K 🔥
Hi, I'm glad you liked the video! I still use the fire stick almost every day. Thank you very much for watching!
Thanks for the help.. just started using mine after two years of keeping it in the drawer :)
Just ordered one and they promise delivery for Fri. Thank you, you made it easy and enjoyable. My grandkids are going to be proud of me. Oh man you just said Alexa and she came on.

I'm just in love with the way you speak 😂
I had a smile on my face the whole time I was watching this because he seemed so surprised and happy about the fire tv stick...great video!
👍😁👍 Thanks! I'm glad you liked watching!
One of the funniest and clearest explanations of Amazon Fire Stick
Rick is pretty tech savvy for a grandpa
Thank you Rick.....I just got my Amazon fire tv stick today . Your video was great. You make it look easy , I am electronically challenged , hopefully it will be as easy for me to install.
Thanks for making it so easy. There is a lot more setup than what you did show Rick.
You saved my life this is the best Fire stick TV video set up on UA-cam ❤❤❤❤🕺🏾
Do it needs to charge first🤔
This guy is like the Bob Ross of unboxing!! Awesome video, thank you!
I'll definitely be buying this, especially since my TV don't have any Smart TV capabilities (just a plain TV, nothing else).
I have a smart TV, but it's just a pain to control it with an IR remote, I like having the fire remote under a blanket or just not having to point it at the TV.
Spoiler alert, to avoid a bunch of problems, keep the power cord for the fire stick away from your antenna cord if you have a apartment antenna, it causes broken up picture and sound.

I said the same thing when I opened mine lmfao "Let's follow directions" hilarious
Thanks for posting this inboxing. been on the fence about getting one and dropping direct tv. Just might buy one now.
+Sharon Mobley I like it alot. Lots of content on there.
I dipped one of my firesticks in chipolte sauce and all the channels became free.
+Bruce Fleury Ohhhhh. I'm doin that
Why is it so slow loading up
Rick Mammana did you try it lol
omg it actually worked
Lier
Hi Rick! Given notice on my cable and getting the Amazon TV Firestick within the next month. Looking forward to using the Alexa voice control. :)
I like it. There is a lot on there from very old to very new. Of course you need Prime for most of it. But it's worth it. Thanks for watching!
This guy seems like he as a dope personalty... I'm going to browse more before I get one, been hearing great things
So, I come in the living room and my firestick was on the floor. I panicked because I didn't know how to hook it back up. Thanks to my husband. I just figured it out. It's pretty darn easy. I still watched this video anyway and 👍.
Great help. I did not know I could plug that USB into the tv and let it power it. One less thing to plug into outlet. I am going to try this when I get home
Your weather sounds lovely I sweat when its over 50 but tolerable. Over 75 I'm already suffering.
Your voice is so nice. I can hear you talk all day!
Well Thank you very much! :)
Thank you for that! I'm just an old Gramma and my sweet son gave me this direction! I cannot WAIT to hookup up!!

Glad I could help! :)
Is there a monthly $ fee for Firestick ??
Thanks for that very informative review of how to setup Firerstick. I ordered it today for Prime Sale without not knowing how to get it started.
I did the exact same thing lol
I just ordered one for my brother yesterday and another one for me today (after discovering Kody) 😂😂😂
I'm planning to get a Firestick real soon and I'm going to get rid of cable. By the way, is there a way to watch Live TV on there?
What button on your Firestick remote do you use to scroll through the various networks in order to select your own? I can't dislodge it from the first network on the left (mine is third from the left)?
It was cool listening and watching this with you...you seem to be a fun person...thanks
Thank you very much! :)
do you have to pay for anything monthly?
Thanks for the exciting video. Besides the amazon pswd, what other password is required for set up? I already have cable tv and have many expensive premium channels ugh. Can the fire stick be used with just basic cable service? Thanks
You only need internet to use the fire stick. It doesn't matter if you have cable at all. Thanks for watching!
I don't have this just checking out other options besides cable is this better than amazon Roku in your opinion? And what do you need prime for meaning what programming can you not get without it?
Shameless is a good one..check out Power!
+Tasha Reed Ok Thanks!
Shameless is awesome.
BlueEyeKitty ! N
QUESTION : DO YOU HAVE TO BE A MEMBER TO USE IT , & IS THERE A BILL AT THE END OF THE MONTH ??
No but they trick you into a free month then you have to remember to cancel your account if you don't want to pay.
I love his energy 💯❤️
Me too
Yesss lol
Are the movies free?? Do i have to pay to be an amazone prime member?
Yes, prime membership cost around 10 dollars a month
Thanks for the video,and the explanation.....one question,I do need to have an internet to get access to all those channels? The fire stick can catch Gol TV???
Yes you will need internet! Thanks for watching!
Hope I’m this super excited when I get my fire stick lol
Do you have to have WiFi to use a fire stick? I’m wanting to get ride of dish network. I also want to keep my local channels. Thanks
Yes you need wifi for it to work.
Do u gotta pay to watch the shows or all u gotta do is but the stick and that includes everything like movies and music?
Did I miss something? Is there a step where you connected to your internet?
Yes, he put his password for internet but he did not show us when he was typing it
Thanks! I REALLY needed this deno.
I love my ROKU 2 & 4! I thought about buying this fire stick for the parents. Have you watched Bosch? Excellent series too. Season 3 should be coming out soon!
+SimonaLyne Enderz I didn't see Bosch I'll add it to my list.
Great excitement !! Lovely voice. Thanks for the video and besides lol @ get out of here 😆
Really thorough video! Thanks!
thank you one last question is the login for amazon my login to buy products.. if so I have and I am goo.. and just bought this.
+Laurie-anne Bollaro Yup.
Just bought it and loving it so far. One question though. Is there anyway to turn it off without unplugging it? Don't really want to have it on standby 24-7.
I believe that's the only way to turn it off by unplugging. Or it will be in standby forever.
What's best this or chrome cast ? I have chrome n I love also roku.but roku u need remote control chromecast u can use cell phone ,more convenient for me.
Great review Rick! We have Roku and Fire Stick as well, love them both.
+Tommy Walker Cool Thanks! I like this one.
Rick just bought a firestick. Watched your setup video. Not only helpful but funny as well. Thanks for the laugh. Question, did you ever move after viewing the weather?....lol
+fun2bme36 I'm glad I was a help. No I didn't move yet and it's gonna get cold again. Ugg.
Do you have to have Amazon or prime to use it and are all the applications free to see
No, there is a lot without Prime. But more with it.
Does it have access to local tv stations?
Awesome video thanks for helping me set up my fire stick
Does it come with the adapter ?
Thank you for your tutorial-for-dummies, I am a total newb at this kind of stuff & my FireStick has been sitting here, taunting me. I DO have Prime & love it, so am finally ready to set up my Stick.

Rick Mammana Thanks Rick. I appreciate the information and your channel. Thank you.
Do you get live t.v. or reruns of the news, etc.?
Hi, You can get many apps of different channels like all of the other streaming services. Live and replays, many movies, shows and all kinds of TV. I still like it.
I wanna see the Chuck Norris commercial again!
Thank you, I will get one of these soon!
Now I have to get an Amazon account, Nice video.
Where did you put the USB, Whats it plugged into. Rick Mammana
It plugs into the power cord.
Can the fire stick alexi thingy situation record things in the home.
Hey Rick! My husband cant live without news n sports channel's, are these included in it also?
Yes there are news and sports.
Try Sling or Philo for cable tv options
Looks great and what I'm leaning towards. I'm guessing you have to speak into the remote all the time, which I'm thinking gets annoying?
No. I never speak into it. But you can whenever you want.
Rick Mammana That's great to know, thank you. Is it also true you can use an Ethernet through an adapter Amazon sells?
Does it have kids channels like Disney?
I came for the instructional video. I stayed for the unintentional ASMR.
You are too too funny..."20°...I've gotta move" 🤣🤣😂😂
Yeah it's zero today and I still gotta move!
Should I get a fire stick or just using my Xbox to watch tv
I got a new box. ua-cam.com/video/2-vzgB1zRsQ/v-deo.html
Do you have to have the power connected all the time or does the HDMI supply power to the stick?
+RICHARD L Needs power connected.
I really enjoyed hillbilly unboxing!
How long does it take to download software???? Seems like its gonna be hrs
I never had a problem. ?
Do you have to have internet or wifi? I don't have cable or internet. Only my android phone which is AT&T and dosnt allow you to use any other electronics. I have unlimited data but still AT&T won't let anyone share the data with tv, tablet or laptop.
Yes it only works with the internet.
Mine just crashed and i have a back up but its asking for credit card info and logging into an account with i dont remember before
This Man Has A Voice Like Ed O’Neil Aka Al Bundy From Married With Children
Do you have to have cable or Internet to use it?? I'm trying to get rid of my Uverse
+Grace Smith You just need wireless Internet.
Ok, thanks.
"To cold i gotta move" 😂
+Cris Cozy YES!
Cris Cozy lmfao golden
So can you actually watch tv like you would if you had cable or is it just tv shows?
Yeah they have some live channels CBS and stuff like that. Mostly recorded stuff like netflix.

So if bought this use my Amazon account to sign in to this right ?
Yes.
Good review mate..and yes put kodi onnit..they only just this week been released in uk..
+Derek Dillon Thank you! I really like this and I watch it often.

Rick Mammana thanks
im new to this. how can i tell if this is a 1st or 2nd generation one? i am thinking of buying one. thanks.
+Inquisitve m If it's this one with the voice activation it would probably be the latest model.
Thanks...i wonder why i see prices for 50 bucks on the same thing when i can get it on best buy for 40 bucks...also there are places on ebay selling it for 80 bucks...what gives here?
Do you need dish/direct tv to see any of the shows
No, but you would have to pay for some things like HBO and some channels and of course Amazon Prime.
this dude is hilarious 😭😂
