Not a huge fan. I hate the cluttered interface just trying to get to the stuff I want to watch and the worst is when the device resets or updates and I have to enter EVERYTHING all over again. Never had that issue with a Roku or Chromecast.
THank you for mentioning the screen magnifer!
Great info 👏
I consider myself perfect for this competition.
Craig Is Always Right! (almost)😉
Hi, what really confuses me is when someone says "cut the cord"? You can never really cut the cord because you always need internet which costs big bucks then you add a streaming service & basically you are back to square one still paying about $150 a month. Where are the savings ? It is all frustrating. I've listened to some of your YouTube & you explain real good but there is still nothing that is cost effective. I live in the UP of Michigan & we are really limited.
Thanks for listening, if you have other videos I should watch or other suggestions, please let me know. Thank you, Pattie
Did you know why on my Firestick 4K on display & audio, doesn't say Alexa home audio , it appears on my firestick 2 gen
🎊 thank you !!!!
What about setting up a hotspot for someone who has no Wifi ?
I've had the firestick app for years it's quicker using this to write something on the search bar instead of the TV screen. 👍
Can't access that
Awesome beginners video..!! Gonna try it all especially the "mirroring" feature… Thanks Craig..! 👍

Awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Craig for the tips for us Fire Stick beginners. Useful tips about turning off Data monitoring, and doing screen mirroring.
Thanks for this information, I was getting very frustrated.
Pressing on the home button for a few seconds didn't work
I've got them both off. The annoying trailer still plays loudly
Will the screen mirroring work with iPhone/Airplay? 😊
