Amazon Fire TV Stick with Voice Remote launched in India

[Kudla]

As Gopichand told in previous post fire tv has few extras than fire stick. so You can actually buy fire stick and add this OTG cable and use it as fire tv..

Rather, I can buy the 'Fire TV' itself as it is just $10 more than 'Fire Stick'.
I should have rather asked, are there any advantages with 'Fire Stick' over 'Fire TV', apart from being easily portable?

Yes but check if it’s fire tv 3 or not else no point. Fire tv 3 supports 4K.

Also, would like to know is VPN must to install Kodi on FireStick?
Please advise!

Facing this issue:
Screensaver has got disabled on my Fire stick. The stick directly goes into sleep mode after the predefined period of inactivity. The system now does not allow to enter the screensaver menu in settings.
For the first few days when i bought it, it was working fine.
Any advise how to enable it?

Don't bother guys. I did a factory reset and now it is working fine.

I am using a local internet service provider. I can't watch all the movies, but few are working fine. Called amazon customer care. They responded that my ip is showing unknown region from USA. That's reason. When I trace my ip through iplookup website, I can't find any details of Country, state or city details. Can anyone help me to guide, if i can do anything from my end for this or only the ISP can fix it.

Please Note ; I am not talking about 5505 error, as I have fixed it already on the first day of usage. For few days all the movies were playing with no issues, but now issues with most of the movies

Which device are you folks using? I'm not getting or seeing 4K in PS4 Pro, Fire TV Stick (is limited to FHD), or the TV apps.

Amazon fire TV stick doesn't support 4k. But Prime video app on my LG 55C7 supports it. I can watch content in 4k HDR. However right now only few movies and shows are available in 4k.

Very unfortunate.

"Starting on 1/1/2018, Youtube will not be available on this (fire stick) device. You can continue to enjoy your favourite creators and videos in many other ways"

Good news...Just found that Fire stick shows up as a "cast to" device directly from the youtube app on mobile and I am able to cast the videos to my fire stick.

You can also access you tube Videos via SILK browser in Fire TV stick. This is really good and easy to use.
