I just regret not having reacted earlier and bought my Amazon fire stick a long time ago, instead of paying for a cable subscription unnecessarily. The HD picture quality is sharp crisp and despite response to the commands not being as fast as cable (showing some micro-second slags with the remote) that seems to be only a very minor inconvenience, almost unnoticeable. You will get a stable signal as long as your internet service enjoys a reliable connection as well.
The set up was a breeze and very straightforward and I love the minimalist design parameters of the remote, very sleek and intuitive and all you need at a simple click of your fingertips. There is obviously a learning curve into changing to full streaming services but is more about the learning experience to navigate the app and getting acquainted with the remote, getting familiar with the apps you’d like to keep and avoid getting lured into acquiring new pay streaming services unnecessary for your needs or preferences. Beware, the current streaming offer seems to be enormous, so I can see it might take you some time just organizing your preferences.
The fire TV will let you organize access into separate user profiles and establishing parental controls or limited access accordingly. Overall, it proves to be a simple solution for quality streaming services at a very convenient price and a definite good bye to my regrets for paying expensive cable tv services!

Comparable to an APPLE TV!
Overall an amazing product! Amazon thought of everything and then fit it all into this little gadget. I'm an owner of an Apple TV and when the streaming box of one of my TVs broke, I decided to give the Fire Stick a chance since I didn't feel like dropping $100+ for another Apple TV. IT WAS THE BEST DECISION I'VE MADE. My initial impression of the Fire Stick was how tiny it was compared to the Apple TV. It wasn't a huge, heavy box that I had to lug around whenever I traveled, even to the point where it became too big of a hassle to bring. Instead, the Fire Stick is small, 100% portable, and doesn't weigh any more than a pen. So you can imagine how surprised I was when I found out that this little stick had more features and abilities than my Apple TV. The built-in Alexa is so much smarter than Siri and I love how it can switch between applications and do everything that an Alexa can do, the only big difference being that you have to click the Alexa button instead of being voice-activated (Maybe Amazon can add that feature). Installing it was super simple, all I had to do was plug it in and connect it to the power. The fire stick plugs into any HDMI port and if the stick is too long to fit in the HDMI section then you could use the provided HDMI extender which has a flexible cord. Again, Amazon thought of everything for this product. P.S. I must say that Amazon was super generous including the needed 2 AA batteries, a shock for big companies these days. The Fire Stick can turn any TV into a smart TV and add many features if you already have a smart TV. If you have an Amazon Prime subscription, you'll get access to Prime Video and a LOT of news sources (I'm not sure about what it'll be like without a Prime Subscription, sorry) But everyone can log into apps like Disney+, Hulu, Netflix, Youtube, and my new personal favorite, Spotify. My only concern with this product is how easy it is to lose the remote, especially if you're a very forgetful person like I am. Amazon does have replacement remotes that they sell, one even has additional features like the ability to make the remote play a sound to locate it, but even the basic one can go for up to $20 which is more than half the price of what I paid for it. Also, a little tip, I noticed that this product specifically goes on huge sales from time to time so I recommend waiting if it currently isn't on sale. The Fire Stick is truly an amazing product and in my opinion, it belongs in the top tier of streaming devices.

Can replace some cable boxes...better engineered product at significant cost savings
Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2024
I have used Fire Sticks for quite a while. Recently I learned that the peripheral cable boxes for Xfinity could be replaced with Fire Sticks and the Xfinity app. Since they charge a monthly fee for all of these boxes it is a significant cost savings per year once the cost of the Fire Stick is deducted. It is also a more streamlined installation (see photo of cable box installation on the left compared with Fire Stick for same service on the right). A third advantage is the durability, ease of operation, and responsiveness of the Fire Stick compared with the Xfinity remotes. We found that we were regularly replacing the Xfinity remotes and that newer versions did not have codes that allowed the remotes to control on-off or volume on the television. Fire Sticks have never caused that problem. The end result is a better engineered product at a significant cost savings.
