I am brand new to cutting the cord. I am 68 and not tech savvy but this was easy for me. I just need to figure out how I can watch the entire programs of things I always watched when I had satelite TV. If you can instruct me, I would truly appreciate it. You have been a complete blessing to me setting this up. Thank you so much.
Hey Mike, hope your day is going well ;) I just bought my first Firestick and am trying to connect it to my PC's bluetooth. Can't seem to make that happen. My firestick only see's my Headset or earbuds, Not my pc's bluetooth adapter. My PC doesn't see the stick and the stick doesn't see the pc. Stinks,lol. Only way I can listen to the stick is on my earbuds. Was curious if you have any suggestions? Been all over the net, youtube, can't find an answer. Thx for your time!
Great device. I have a Roku Ultra, Chromecast with Google TV, and the Fire TV Max. I think this is my favorite device. It’s very zippy and smooth. I also love that it is so portable. I take it with me on vacation all the time and have no problem hooking it up at hotels or AirBnBs.
I purchased a Firestick for my Brother. I want to set it up for him with his information so when he gets it he can plug in and play. The only issue I see is I’ll be setting it up on my tv and my internet. Will he be able to change those setting bringing it to his house for his tv and internet settings ? This way the volume/ power and internet all work on his and not looking for my info? Thanks
I am definitely ready to remove my firestick because it just keeps buffering and I have restarted many times and I am tired of it. If you have a helpful tip I would appreciate it.
Thank you so much, the most easy way to follow how to use Firestick, it's really step by step, i've watched other vlogs but it's not step by step & can't follow them. Only your video helps me a lot & easy. Thank you!❤️
I have a 24" VIZIO HDTV with ONE HDMI port. How would I connect an Amazon Firestick 4K Max AND an over-the-air TV antenna and antenna amplifier, to ONE HDMI port please? Thank you!!!!
The antenna should have a round connector that goes to the ANT port on the tv. The antenna amplifier plugs into a wall outlet or a USB port on the tv. This leaves the HDMI port free for the fire stick. Probably overkill on the 4k max since the tv likely isn’t 4k, but no big deal. Hope this helps.
You only need to create accounts for the channels you want. Some are free and some are paid. There are many free channels available, including my 7 favorites here: th-cam.com/video/3V36shiXtkg/w-d-xo.html
@@MichaelSaves Thanks for answering me 😊 however If I have to pay normally as I do now. What’s the point to have this firestick?🙄 what’s different what I have now?🙄
@@battureventyr9635 I don't know what you have now. But a Fire TV Stick connects to your TV and lets you stream content over the internet. It has a "hub" to help you discover free and paid apps.
I have a problem with 2 new 3rd gen firesticks I purchased on prime day. The problem is the firesticks work however the remotes that came with each one for some reason are not pairing with the firesticks (remotes are the one with the netflix, hulu, disney, and amazon button on bottom). But the old 2nd gen controllers I have work after pairing. Do you know why this is? And yes the new remotes light up and batteries are fresh they just are not pairing even after holding the home button for 10 seconds and longer. Any help would be appreciated
@sidneysmith5411 hey honestly I did fix it myself. However, I can't remember what I did. I think I either did a factory reset using the 2nd gen controllers or I think it had something to do with me using the login in credentials to my firestick. I think they remembered the old controllers so I had to delete those off the firestick in settings devices and then I was able to sync the new ones. Hopefully that helps as it was a year ago lol
Thanks for watching today's tutorial. If you found it helpful, please consider sharing it with someone who is new to cutting the cord!
Where did other end of hdmi cable plug into ?

Very good and helpful 👍
Display setting at auto or set to highest 4K resolution? Colour bit depth at 8bits or higher?
well done! easy to follow instructions, good audio, specific and clear!
Why not connect the Firestick directly to the TV’s HDMI port?
Sadly the setup of our fire stick was not easy . Amazon
Do I need a Fire Stick for every TV?
Yes

Is there a way to set it up at his house? I don't see a way around the Wi-Fi step. Or share this video with him.
My issue is. I cant locate the HDMI port selection.
Samsung smart tv.
I am definitely ready to remove my firestick because it just keeps buffering and I have restarted many times and I am tired of it. If you have a helpful tip I would appreciate it.
Would this work for non-4k TVs because I have one in my living room
Yes
@@MichaelSaves isn't there also like a code you could download and watch movies and live tv
Thank you so much for the easy and simple explanation, it helped me a lot 😀

How to set up a fire stick to my Polaroid TV
Short and straight to the point thank you
What if you don't have an Amazon account?
Mine was a Birthday present
Create an Amazon account
@@MichaelSaves I don't like the Amazon website, it's too complicated
Why do you demonstrate from the side of the TV?🤷🏿♂️
For this case it was because of glare. I had just moved and my studio was not setup.
the hmdi wont go in my samsung 4k tv
Thank you very much!
Is it a streaming device
yes

Thank you for this video.
VERY HELPFUL!!! THANX
Do you have a dedicated video about adding channels from various apps to the Firestick TV Guide?
I don't, but I can add it to my list
Nice and simple instructions 👍
Why not use the HDMI (arc) port?
I think because if you have a Sound bar like a lot of ppl have you would want to connect that there instead..
Very helpful TY
Thank you! Very clear, easy-to-understand instructions!
