    That's the prime sale rate anyway isn't it? Sales on in a couple of weeks

    • I think it was $50 before with some prime day deal

  • Is this any good for game streaming from a PC?

    • -4

      More dependent on your wifi quality than this. The 4k max has 6E so about as good as anything else you could buy (other than maybe a hardwired shield)

      • Not quite. Heat also matters a lot and this stick will throttle like crazy after a short while.

    • Yeah Moonlight/Sunshine works fantastic on just the basic 4K one, so should work just as good on this.

      The basic one goes for around $40 on sale though so maybe best waiting for that one.

      • I just refunded mine for moonlight because of the horrid bit rate. I paid an extra $100 for a used Xbox and it's SIGNIFICANTLY better. Don't use this for moonlight

    • Just curious what theuser iterface like comapred to chromecast?

      • I think it's a bit more complicated but also way better if you know how to use it (can load apps, VPNs, etc that you can't on a chromecast)

        • +1

          Thanks man. Sounds nice

          • +2

            @ATTS: also as @boxall and @deebee8 said below……..can emulate old games from Nintendo (Nes, Snes, Gameboy colour+ advance, some N64), Playstation 1, and older Sega consoles on it too.

            • @qaz182: Omg thats so cool! Thanks man!

              What controller do you use for those emulators btw?

              • @ATTS: Any standard bluetooth controller should work but @deebee8 would know more as i haven't done it before

      • FireOS is quite basic. It's not as bad as the Amazon Prime app's interface - but it's close.

        It definitely feels like the kind of Computer menu system that you'd find in a Dystopian hellscape, or the menu system when using Medicare/Centrelink/MyGov

        The benefit is sideloading. Open Moonlight or Plex, Stremio, or Netflix, and use that instead.

        The problem is that the SoC has limited RAM, so the thumbnails tend to reload and delay a fair amount when powering up from cold start. If it's always powered, you won't notice.

        If you are sideloading direct into a single app, there's no real problems. Once you start having to buffer or load pages of images, it may have issues. Scrolling/paging down will get sluggish or just stop loading images.

        • Thanks for the insight!

      • +2

        It was enough to make me sell my Firestick for the bedroom TV and buy a Chromecast instead.

        Also, FWIW: Unfortunately 4K content on Kayo is not currently available on Amazon Fire TV. Couple other apps were unavailable on Firestick at the time (may have since changed). Overall, I was very happy to go back to a clean Android experience.

        • Is kayo free subscription?

          Also trying to find free content to stream to utilise nbn 500 lol

          • +1

            @ATTS: For some things yes example, Formula One, Practice sessions 1,2, & 3 are free as well as qualies. One needs sub to watch the main race. There is however a Race highlights that is also free. Point being there are freebies on Kayo Free.

    • In my experience, the fire stick is garbage for casting of any kind. The google tv ones work better, but hard no for gaming. The latency is just garbage. If you can find some kind of RF HDMI streamer, that will be your best bet to avoid input lag, but that's assuming your wireless controller will be happy with whatever range you plan to have.

    • Gets the job done for me with a low enough latency. I'm using this to stream my PC (3060ti) located upstairs to my projector downstairs, using Moonlight. My internet is 100/40 and I use WiFi. I get some input lag with my wireless Xbox controller (connected via bluetooth to the firestick) but nothing major. I wouldn't play competitive shooter games with it, but for couch games / single player story games its perfectly fine.

  • -1

    Is this targeted? I'm not getting the discount when I add it to cart. I'm also a prime member.

    • It seems to be for new subscribers only, but from october 7 they have a Prime week and price will go down

  • +1

    got it at that price last prime. I couldn't stand the UI. Now it's sitting in the cupboard lol.

    • +6

      I was in the same boat as you until I found this. My 1st gen fire stick 4k max now travels with me and to my mates places. Projectivy is great on it.

      • Thanks for this, just did it on my FS max, easy as! No more amazon garbage on home screen.

  • +1

    Great for retro gaming BTW.

  • We have the 1st gen 4k max from 2021…. Is there any point updating or is it still the same thing?

    • +2

      I have the 1st gen too. I don't see much point upgrading to this one. The Fire Cube would be an decent upgrade though. If you're only using it for streaming I don't think its worth the upgrade, still plenty powerful enough to do 4k streaming and installing all the apps you'd need.

      • Thanks.
        I occasionally have video codec skipping while playing h265 files from local storage - but the newer fire stick seems to have the same GPU, so I guess the new one would have the same codec limitations.

  • For 4K Stremio streaming, should i get this or wait for Fire Cube to go on sale?

    • +1

      50/50. If you can't afford/justify the Shield TV, or an Apple TV, this will work fine.

      These 'thin' streming clients can't really buffer much more than a minute of video in RAM - so it's key to have a couple of debrid options like RD, Debridio and others to try alternative routes / servers if you are relying on 4K streams.

      The streaming server will make more of a difference - as long as your WiFi is decent. If your Wifi / NBN isn't great, you can also get a USB to Ethernet adapter to run an ethernet cable to the FS4K. Lots of models are available, even gigabit to USB-C models (check for compatibility)

      The downside for stremio is that it may have trouble with subtitles due to the player - but you can probably sideload the 5.0.0 beta APK.

      If you want better subs, the Shield TV is more resilient. But it's hit and miss with VLC/OnePlayer/Nextplayer compatible files for embedded or external subtitles.

      • Stremio isn’t available for AppleTV (yet). If we’re talking about streaming Linux ISOs to AppleTV the only real solutions are Infuse or the app inspired by it, VidHub.

  • +4

    They put ads in their UI hey? Absolutely deal breaker for me.

    • yeah the home screen first option is Amazone products. Personally, I just hit the Netflix button or the "select apps" button when turning the tv on so rarely see the home for more than 5 seconds.

      • +1

        New exploit allows you to install custom launcher like Projectivy, Wolf Launcher or Emotn or whatever and disable OTA updates to the firmware from Amazon along with deleting app blacklists etc.
        Full instructions on XDA thread.

        • Finally!

  • +1

    dont forget topcashback 12%

  • I have a tcl Android TV from 2024. Would this stick make any sense

    • +1

      I cant see the point unless you want Alexa lol

      • Oh hell no, I just thought that it would be faster and more expandable than the stock TV software

        • It is definitely faster than my TCL, which I factory reset often to try to get some speed back.

          • +1

            @Dogstar: Screw it, I'll just get one. Not the first impulse buy

      • TCL tvs are so laggy, have the c7k

  • +1

    If you can ignore the bad UI, its is one of the cheapest devices that can also do lossless audio truehd, dtsx etc for those of us who love their remuxes with a good sound.

  • Load with onstream app
    Done.

  • I get mixed answers searching online, so I'll ask, does it appear as a normal cast target from YouTube mobile? The native OS on the TV is getting pretty laggy but my partner still pushes videos from her phone pretty regularly so I'd rather not lose that.

    • yes it does.

  • +4

    If anyone cares these things send an insane amount of telemetry back to Amazon, even when it's off. The DNS is also hard coded to 8.8.8.8 so had to do some firewall tricks to force the DNS to go through my pihole and block the majority of the phoning home there.

  • I replaced the NVIDIA Shield with this and haven't looked back. Hard to support a company that's evidently abandoned their product. I use Debrid Stream and it's fantastic. No buffering whatsoever with the WiFi 6E chip.

    • Abandoned is a strong word considering they put out the 9.2 update earlier this year for the Shield line… the last device of which they released was 2019.

      I recently switched back to my 2019 Shield Pro from the 4k Max is it's so much smoother. Downside is some of the codec/hardware decoding support but it's powerful enough for most things.

      • LOL, I switched TO the Shield Pro as I was sick of the updates shitifying my experience in the 4KMax.

        I will however dust it off and use the new exploit to install custom launcher like Projectivy, and disable OTA updates to the firmware from Amazon along with deleting app blacklists etc and maybe give it to a family member.

  • These are great for Plex streaming. I struggled with 4K Dolby Atmos until I switched. Also better experience with HVEC in general.

  • +1

    Will be cheaper for Black Friday.

  • Want to buy one but not new prime account, need to wait.

    Still no cheap Chromecast TV deal.

  • $54 with visa promo perfect thanks op

  • tempted to get one for my parents old samsung tv. Was waiting on a deal for a google tv but haven't' seen one for a while.

  • Is this the easiest solution to run native Stremio? Currently have an AppleTV 4K that while it integrates well with the rest of my Apple stuff is somehow stuck at 25mbps download no matter what I do and requires paid apps to talk to RD WebDAV.
