I'm trying it…wish me luck
Awesome video
I need help me please
this OTG adaptor link is for a product that does not work as the video shows. It has no micro usb female connection.
I add a 64gb usb to my firestick 4k max. It shows up as 64gb external storage but when I press record, it doesnt show up anywhere. Any suggestions?
Never thought about using an OTG adapter, and wasn't aware of the booster/usb. Thanks SO much for this video
I set everything up the way you show. however, nothing never pop up to install storage.
Iβve done everything in the video, I see the light on the external storage come on so itβs powered but no pop up on the screen to add and format. Not sure what is going wrong. Iβm using Seagate Portable 2TB External Hard Drive HDD β USB 3.0.
I screwed up got ahead of the video I selected external drive and my2 2T was formatted incorrectly how can I reformat to make it work?
If your Television has an ethernet connection to it already and you set your firestick up like you are presenting here, is there still a need to do a wired connection directly to the Firestick. Seems redundant, but is it redundant?
When I click on the OTG hub you have in your list, it does not show the one you are using in your video. The one Amazon shows and I ordered is a wall power type. How do you make it work with your Firestick so I can have Ethernet. Good video except for the OGB hub.
Curiousity Cafe you are my go Fire TV expert thanks for the video. I installed the booster and USB to increase my storage, however I encountered a problem. It appears to only work with Firestick OS 6. Do you know where I would be able to get a Firestick OS 6?
OK,what do you load on there where you need that much storage?
Wow!!! Well said brother. Thanks for the cool info. It is appropriated.
Using Toshiba 1TB storage drive not getting prompt to increase storage hooked up exactly as stated why?
Ok, so I've watched this episode of hooking up the 2 terabyte external drive. But, when I install the drive, it is not prompting to format. Why? I promise, everything is hooked up as you direct.
I have tried everything to get rid of a black screen. Remote is working it flashes. I have also changed hdmi ports. Do not know what to do next, have been trying for last 2 days.
On Amazon I found a power adapter from Oassuose, seems to do the same as mission cable
why do you need storage with a fire TV ? i don't get it?
How do I move default apps like silk browser or Netflix to the external drive ?
You said to charge the power brick for 10 minutes. Can i completely install everything and just wait for 10 minutes before using it or do i just connect the hdmi to the tv and wait 10 minutes?
The screen to format the hard drive, … does not appear
Will any 2TB thumb (or hard) drive work?
Do only certain apps transfer to the external drive? or can you store all your apps on the external drive so your firestick has only a couple apps on it? I currently am only able to save 3 or 4 apps to my external drive and everything else goes to my firestick. Am I doing something wrong? Great video and channel you have.
wow thanks for your help
This is not working!!!!!! Device storage isnot coming up formatting as external only!!!!!!! When it is formatting device is not coming up! WHY????
What about local tv channels?
I hope that works. The one I got before stopped working and broke my firestick until I figured out what was going on.
Great video, very informative and easy to follow.
Have you tried anything larger like a 4TB or 8TB? Is the OS x32 or x64 internally, any idea? Just curious.
what if your useing a monitor that dose not have a usb port on it
I followed the steps correctly and the 2 TB hard drive (bought the Toshiba from one of your links) doesn't show up when I plug it in for set up. My Firestick 4K Max just reboots.
How nice
I have an older 4k but I wish I had a new 4k max.
Can I save movies and tv shows the the hard drive or is it only used to house applications?
Can I use a usb 3.0 hub instead ?
Very nice setup works like a charm
Good stuff thank you
Great and useful video
Explained in detail and well done
I definitely going to this to my 4k max
And if I had another one too
Thatβs awesome
I want to know if you have video for setting up Dvr on your 4k max
Did the setup. My firestick says no signal. Restarted Sony Bravia. Blue lights are on on the Mission USB power cable plugged in to my Bravia usb port (5amp), Firestick plugged into usb power cable. Can you advise why it's not powering up. All the Bravia usb ports (3) are 5Amp.
This setup doesn't seem to work for me., I ordered all the accessories you listed, even the USB hub. I have power to the firstick. But when I plug either the hard drive, or the hub to the other the firestick shuts off. When I restart it, it doesn't see the drive. I have ordered the 4K, I'm assuming my issue is because my firestick is only 3rd generation. Comments?
Does this set up eliminate buffering during an NFL game?
I did everything you said and showed us. I did step by step. And I bought all of the stuff you said to buy. But it says NO ISB STORAGE DETECTED. what do I do everything is hook up. I waited for the stick to come on fully b4 I hooked up the 2 2TB
Does it also automatically add new side loaded apps to the external drive or would you have to move them?
I have a question I just got seagate 2TB storage. I did everything. Now when I was going to look at the apps I downloaded. It went into a loop. And something was beeping and now it stopped. And this came on my tv
Amazon fire tv stick HDMI 1
No signal
Do you have any idea why this is happening
I purchased everything you recommended but my Firestick is not recognizing my 2TB hard drive?
I had to do a reset on my 4Kmax firestick after I installed the slim2T. Do I need to go through unplugging Slim2T from the mission adapter and reinstall it? I watched this video https://youtu.be/UB8Pmxlp8TE?si=knmg_BDEVnqgQ1j1 from troypoint. Would it be advisable to follow Troy's instructions to split the drive into to files – one for apps and one for movies, TV etc? The 2T drive is a lot of space just for apps. Also, I started getting messages that the drive setup with mission was taking too much power. Should I plug it in to power instead of the TV? Thanks for all the info!
