I am a totally blind person and I own a fire TV cube. I know it has voice commands, but I would really appreciate it if you could talk quite a bit about the different accessibility options on both the fire cube and fire sticks. If you could demonstrate and discuss everything, you can concerning the different things to do on the Voice on both devices for people that are blind and visually impaired. It would be a huge help. I know other blind people that would also appreciate it a lot and find it very helpful. If you would do this thank you very much. I look forward to hearing back from you. Have a blessed day. Susan
Couple of tips. Sling now includes 50 hr dvr instead of 10. My antennae situation is no good. Locast is good but not available in my area. When there is a show or game on network tv, i open my free vpn, request a city that has Locast then sign in to Locast and watch live TV that way.
I never thought I could do this myself, but thanks to this video, I got it done,I'm amazed at all the channels,and everything available to watch. Thanks alot!!!
For 0$/mo I just use an antenna for OTA HDTV into a 15 year old PC with a Hauppage WinTV DVR card. CBS and PBS and the old movie channel are pretty much all I watch, easy to skip ads too.
Question about the Fire TV Recast: the antenna feeds the signal into the recast box..right? So, how does the signal go from the Recast box to the TV? Is it done wirelessly? Can I put the recast box on my outside deck (TV would be inside my condo) as long as I have an outside power outlet?
The recast will distribute local tv via wifi, you could set it up outside if it has power and a good wifi signal.. however it isn't made for outdoor exposure
That’s sounds good but when I want to watch starz so I watch my shows like Power BMF and other shows on mgm+ and HBO u still coming out ur pocket so u still going to have to pay some of the apps have to pay for so I just keep my spectrum but I still trying to seek to see if I can get it cheaper
I use the tutorial on how to increase storage to my Fire Stick and went from no additional space and gained 2 and 1/2 gig following the instructions the wer given by Troy. Yea....... Troy thank you
Thank you for your video. It was helpful us but I do have a question. I just recently got a fire stick and I was getting my local channel but all of sudden my NBC stop working. Any chance you might know how to fix it? Once thanks for your video
Hello, very good video 👍. I would like to ask you if it is necessary to have an outdoor antenna + an indoor one or just one of the two? If that is the case, which antennas do you recommend more, indoor or outdoor antennas ? Thank you and Happy New Year!
@EJ and Peque ... I personally tried some of the indoor and didn't get many channels and good reception. I finally decided to get an outdoor Wineguard FreeVision and I get a lot more channels... I installed it like twelve feet high facing where my preferred local channels are using one of those locator App 😁
This is a good all around video. However, I would stress this to everyone make sure you have a ota antenna. Why? We had some bad storms roll through and it knocked the internet out. So, keep that in mind no internet no streaming. Ota antenna will always work.
1911loaded Good point. However, remember if you have a cellphone with unlimited data and a mobile hotspot, you can still have internet until your home internet comes back up. We do it at our house during internet outages as long as we have power for the TVs, desktop and laptops. If all the power goes out, we can charge from other sources like our automobiles, generator, or battery power packs and use our ipads or smartphones. We don't need any of this a lot but I plan ahead as much as possible and have figured this out. Hope this helps. 😊
NBC in my area lowered it signal so low that you cant even pick up the channel within 20 miles. Many people think they worked out a deal with local cable company to drive more people to get cable in order to get NBC
This was INCREDIBLY helpful! I'm blown away by Philo, which I'd never heard of, it literally has ALL of the channels that I watch. For $25 that's a steal. I'm so happy that I found your video, Thank you!!
You only need one Recast for your household. You will need a Fire TV Stick or Cube for each TV to watch over-the-channels alongside Sling TV or Philo channels. Hope that helps.
Thanks..(yes, i do have as many fire stick(s), as I personally, need), but i wasn't sure about the recast. Also trying to decipher between recast & cube.
I don't know. I cord cut and went to the Firestick because I didn't want to continue paying to watch tv. It seems a lot of the sources want to nickel and dime me into still paying to watch tv. And then there's VPN cost. Most of what's on tv is crap. Maybe radio is the key today. Unsure... Anyone for a Sharknado series? Blah!
I live in Arlington, VA and Xfinity is the main cable provider which is getting expensive. I am not into sports much but I like to see movies/shows/news. Is there a way I can use an antenna to get regular channels so I can watch them live? I know some movie channels need a subscription like STARZ, AMC. Also, I do not see CBS All Access app in my fire stick.
I would like to watch Discovery plus on my TV. Problem is not hard wired to internet. I have Samsung 20 and is there a way to use it to broadcast to my TV through a HDMI. Or using my Hotspot in some way. Just a little new at this.
Thanks for sharing this info. I currently have a streaming service, not real happy with, so can I use my FS without the streaming service? thanks for your help.
@@ryry7886 You have to look for the chipset in the device and it is pre-installed. Can't be changed. They keep using better mediatek chipsets with time.
From your RF antenna cable jack behind your tv you would have to go into your tv settings and find channels not from your cable but antenna. Buy from any retail store and plus it’s in HD also you may receive almost 25 channels
So without recast, you won't get all those channels with just the antenna correct? I'm pretty much in the country area.. Good video tho, thanks for sharing.
I have sling tv and cbs all access. Love them both. I'm having trouble with cbs all access buffering all the time. It's just that app no others, any suggestions? I've cleared cache, force stopped, etc but no help.
I am unable to get the sound to play on my firestick. There is a section at the top left that says unmute, however when i click it it does not work. Can you help me get around that please?
I don’t Know if you can help me but if you can’t maybe you can point me in the right direction. Here’s the thing: trying to change the aspect ratio on Firestick is next to impossible. I say “next” because I have done it before ( I’m referring to well, just everything). I get “normal is the optimal…..and cannot be changed”. This is crazy because with Roku you can change the aspect ratio on EVERYTHING! There has GOT to be a way that you can circumvent this! I’ve done it but I don’t know how I did It. My TVs are Vizios ( won’t buy another one). It’s irritating to me to watch “borders”!!!!! Please, if you can help, I am going to be one happy camper.
Hello I have just bought an Amazon fire stick; even though I have a smart TV. I would like to know if it can be linked to my Humax recorder and if it can how would I do it please? I am from the UK. Thank you.
The best external hard drive is Ematic second gen HD, and any old hard drive will work, I think even up to 2 TB! A rabbit ears powered HD antenna with turnable center piece is the best antenna for free signal because you have more adjustment options when the signal acts up! I know, I have tried many! That big flat piece will do nothing but sit in that one spot and has zero options on adjustments and ways to find more signal strength.
Good evening my friend could I just buy a firestick and connect it in the back of my smart Tv a Samsung curve Tv HD 4k! Let me know my friend do I need a router for this or internet let me know thanks!
I have a few questions. How can I sent you a donation to support the channel? I was able to get the HD deal. Are all the Dewalt battery exchangeable? Cause I don't want to mess up the unit by using the wrong battery. Are there any good deals on the mekita grinders with cord? Please keep an eye form me on the grinder.
I want to find out how to remove channels i.e. sling tv, tubi from the live tv source. I was only able to make them hidden and not removed. I want to replace it with another live tv source such like prime video.
I have wtva news channel on wolf launcher but it crashes when I try to open but if I go back to the firestick lite launcher it opens. Do you know a solution. Thanks
Ok I've got a question...I have locast and love it other than one thing. The "local" news channels aren't local. I'm in upstate NY and the news is for NJ or NYC. Is there a way to put in my zip code to get Rochester stations?
I am completely illiterate on all of this. I have the fire stick but I have no idea how to get the best out of it. You make it sound easy, so can you come over and set mine up!🤔😄 Seriously, I now have Comcast/Xfinity which I pay Approximately $140.00 a month and basically get nothing! Can you help me with this, Do I have to have wifi from somewhere in order to set this stuff up? If so, how do I go about getting just wifi? Thanks for any help you can give me. Sincerely , LSC
I have an antenna attached to my Roku TV. When I use the antenna input, Roku streaming channels appear. Do viewing Roku streaming channels though my antenna input use data?
Nice try but you are still referring to pay services that after your internet bill adds up to a cable subscription. You do reference some nice free apps.
I don’t see how everyone thinks you save any money by cutting cable and then paying for 4 or 5 subscription services. Someone please explain this to me. You still need internet for any of them.
I have been so frustrated and looking on You Tube for a solution, tried one time with #3 and IT WORKED!!!! SO HAPPY!!!THANK YOU!!!!

Thanks you for such great information. Unfortunately News On required me to sign in with my cable provider but I've cut the cord so I don't have one.
Locast is off the air. A court ruled against them back in the summer. Too bad. It was a good source for local stuff.
I use Pluto tv and Tubi tv and also have a chromcast device along with an antenna
You spent all that time explaining and I still don't know how to watch the local tv on the firestick. I will try to read it
