Bought one last week to replace my 2nd Gen box which got moved to the bedroom and I really like it. Just as fast as the box and I think a better picture. Worked well on WIFI with Prime Playstation Vue and Netflix but did struggle playing my 1080 movies on Plex so I went ahead and hooked up the ethernet adapter and haven't had any issues since
What's really cool about the fire stick is that you can use your television remote to operate the fire stick which is fantastic you don't have to go searching for remotes all over the place
Did u buy it jail broken? Bought mine that way but I’m having issues. Has a different home screen where I can’t adjust settings. Also remote would not pair up and now it’s flashing amber light no matter what button u push. Please advise if possible
I see this video is from a year ago. I'm trying to set up my fire tv stick 4k but the only scteen I get is unable to update your fire t.v. stick 4k. I can't go any further. What should I do? Please help.
Dear Sir, Please do a video of amazon fire stick on the Sony A8f Oled. I have the same sony Oled. And i want to know the pro's and con's of the stick with regards to Sony Tv. Especially if it can support Sony DV profile. Thanks in advance
I had my 4K stick for a month and it shit the bed. Screen went blank and did the reset procedures multiple times to no avail. Amazon replaced it. Will now anxiously wait and see how long the new device lasts. I loved it...but at this point wondering about its longevity.
Thanks for the video Raf! I liked the 4k Firestick, but the problem was I couldn't force 4k 30fps for my projector. I wonder if they could patch that in the future, or if it's a hardware limitation. I had to get the Nvidia Shield, but liked the Firestick, very snappy device.
Thanks. Ya I didn't see a 30hz option. If you check the match frame rate, then maybe movies will be In 24hz. I use the shield too for that reason If I need It. 🙂
Hi, Do you thing you could help me? I got a Fire TV Stick 4k and when tried to set it up, begging the booting process with Amazon log and never stop, what can I do?
Sandra Koob, me too took advantage of Prime days for $24.99 as opposed to $50! Decided to go on UA-cam and see who's got the easiest tutorial to follow, Hope he's good! 😊 Just got it today.
I find this a little weird, you have a 4k firestick but when you are in the settings menu, you don't show what all is in the settings, like for " color format" when I click on mine I have " auto " " RGB" and " YCbCr" but on yours, YCbCr doesn't show up, then on color Depth, I have " up to 12 bit" " up to 10 bit" then 8 bit?
I have an older tv. Tried to use 4k firestick and screen is blank after logo boot....will I need a switch to make 4k firestick work on a non-4k tv?? Update The 4k Firestick I bought was defected declared by Amazon. They sent me another one and works great. Yes. 4k Firestick works on both.
Thank you so much for making this video. It was so helpful and to the point. You have helped us out so much. I have no internet hot spot to use on the fire stick. Can I use the fire stick without internet? I do have a fire stick compatible TV from amazon.
I plugged this 4K stick in back of my Bose sound bar system but I get no picture or sound. But yet my old fire stick would work with with my Bose no problem. Is there something I’m doing wrong? It does work if I plug it in directly behind the tv but no Bose sound it runs off the tv speaker sound which you know how that sounds. I really want to use my Bose with it. Also when it’s plugged in back of my Bose the tv does recognize it in HDMI1 port but does not work. Help please?
Is there a way to play UA-cam with this without paying extra? On UA-cam it says you have to BUY the UA-cam TV version in order to get the screen mirroring option!
@@TheRafcave Some reviews say it works with UA-cam but others say it won't. Is it like a Roku that you have to install apps in it for that function to work and if there is no app then you can't do it? What about Facebook Watch, is there an app for that?
Was upp Raf nice baddass man cave. Im also into techie stuff to and i also program and jailbreak firesticks for people to make my money to help them get free stuff to beat cable. So Raf im doing the same thing your doing buddy.
Good vid👍 we have one of these as well and it works great. Just something that might be useful though, you are able to jailbreak these very easily, it does not affect the fire stick negatively and it basically gives you access to movies that are still in the theatre and are not on DVD yet so if your interested it is definitely something to look into. Keep it up man👍
@@TheRafcave I have my Nvidia S. in Media Player....so I tried my Firestick 4k in M.Player too....but it did not like it like NS does for some reason???
@@TheRafcave Hope U read this! Need to back up to original ?, I realize now, I should have told u, my FS 4K, is/was already installed and fully functional - HDMI IN to TV.....this was the picture when I experimented and just pulled the connection to the TV and jacked it into the Media Player on AVR.....with non functional results. Does that explain why the FS 4K did not run then? I'll be that's it!
Hey raf ive been watching u for a long ass time , i was curious about your wifi speed. You have unbelievable techs and setups, how fast is your internet?
You skipped on how to get to that screen! Do I have to unplug my existing cable power cord to use this? And unplug the cable HDMI? I won't cut the cord until otherwise. This totally new to me as I just bought it.
You just plug the fire stick Into your TV's HDMI port. Plug the power cable In for the stick and follow the onscreen instructions on how to connect your WiFi internet to the stick. Then you can search for the apps you want to watch.
So basically the stream is from your router to the TV via the Firestick ? Also will all Flat panel TV's work with the Firestick or do you need a Smart TV? This what I would like to know before I would purchase a Firestick.
awesome i got me a 4k firestick on black Friday at Best Buy and i love it its super fast so much better than the crappy os on my Vizio P series i can actually stream 4k now lol

nice video, I was wondering if I can add DAZN app with firestick??

No jail broke stick here. I don't own one.

You should just do a factory reset. Go on home screen, over to system settings, reset, factory reset.
@@TheRafcave thank you it worked...

Got the stick today. Prime day price 24.99! PS. SKOL! Mpls girl here.
Ordered mine..
Skol Sandra! 😀👌🏽🏈🙌🏽

I did too. I almost missed out and didn't get one.

Leave format to auto, and leave It at 10 bit for HDR.
I have an older tv. Tried to use 4k firestick and screen is blank after logo boot....will I need a switch to make 4k firestick work on a non-4k tv??
Update
The 4k Firestick I bought was defected declared by Amazon. They sent me another one and works great.
Yes. 4k Firestick works on both.
4k fire stick should work on both older TV's and 4k TV's.
I got my set up it was hard but sofar great
👌🏾🙂
that is very awesome ......how did u hook it up to your denon ..?..my wife and i are thinking of getting one ...instead of cable....
You can go directly Into the Denon or Into your tv and use audio out to the Denon.
@@TheRafcave thank you
Do you need antenna to watch local TVs on HD?
Yes, I'll make an antenna video soon.
Thank you so much for making this video. It was so helpful and to the point. You have helped us out so much. I have no internet hot spot to use on the fire stick. Can I use the fire stick without internet? I do have a fire stick compatible TV from amazon.
Hi glad to help. The fire stick requires a wifi internet connection to operate the apps. You can use a hot spot, but It's not as reliable.
@@TheRafcave Thank You!

What Bose soundbar do you have? Is It 4K compatible?
THE RAFCAVE the Bose is about 5 yrs. old so I doubt that it is.
I had to buy an external Bluetooth for it so I could play music from my phone through it.
@@toddhenderson2998 Boom. Just go fire to tv and audio out to Bose.
@@toddhenderson2998 Dousn't your Bose have a optical Input In the back?
Great vid btw
Hi I just started following you i want to know can I download some IPTV APP on this fire stick?? Am about to order one?

I need ur help how Netflix primer video and others all free with one account ? From where ?
I have 2 of them great device
Rav I'm having issues getting Atmos I get DTS ES & DD+ it's going to my Yamaha 2070 any ideas?
Plug Into the Yamaha directly. Then make sure you have the best audio setting on the fire stick.
@@TheRafcave yep done that thxs anyway I researched but found no solutions
Must be a issue with the stick. I'm not using it for Atmos.
Hello...New subbie to your channel. Do I plug firestick directly into tv instead of the cable box? Please help!!
Hi and welcome. Yes plug the stick Into TV and connect WiFi.

You can get the UA-cam app for free on fire stick.

@@stevec5000 You need to download the YT app first to use It. You can get Facebook no problem. Not sure on FB watch.
Is UA-camTV app included in the firestick?
No, Google and Amazon are not kind to each other. Maybe someone has made a workaround?
UA-cam was just added
Yes finally.
Having issues with the stick. I need to get ALEXIA for it to work.
Try your alexa app on your phone first

Input DVD

i bought a fire stick 4k but the remote will not identify with my sony tv any ideas
Go thru the fire stick settings and re pair the remote with Sony.
@@TheRafcave thanks

So basically the stream is from your router to the TV via the Firestick ? Also will all Flat panel TV's work with the Firestick or do you need a Smart TV? This what I would like to know before I would purchase a Firestick.
The firestick connects to your wifi router and you connect your TV more smart with more apps.
Well you missed the main bit......how to install it and where??
HDMI Into your tv, and follow the on screen Instructions.
@@TheRafcave No on-screen instructions come up. I keep getting a Press (..) to start Where do I find (..) on the remote?
Fire stick
Do you need a 4K tv to use this?
No Mark it works on all TV's with hdmi inputs.
do you remove hmdi tv cord first?
The fire stick has the HDMI attached to It. Just plug It Into your TV.
Would much rather have my apple tv 4k.
This Is $35 🙂
THE RAFCAVE Lol it sure is $35 🤑
awesome i got me a 4k firestick on black Friday at Best Buy and i love it its super fast so much better than the crappy os on my Vizio P series i can actually stream 4k now lol
Perfect! Great buy!
GO VIKINGS! GOOD VIDEO

What if our tv is dumb and old but at least has a HDMI
