Amazon Fire TV

Quick question. I have the a new Fire TV box and a new Samsung TV with the Amazon app on it. Is there any benefit in streaming content via the box to the TV rather than directly using the TV app?
 
anyone elses remote keeps on losing sync to the fire tv? This is happening quite regular on mine and I wonder if its a fault or just something that happens...
 
just got my stick. Works fine, id say Vikings looks better quality than my samsung smart tv or ps4 app.

Also my vga dilemma is null as I got another spare screen with dvi on it.


Anyone able to connect a bluetooth keyboard? My logitech has 3 bluetooth connections so i can connect multiple devices, but the stick wasn't having any of it.

I found the TV app quicker at loading content on Amazon, but I have sound issues when playing Amazon through the TV, didn't have any issues with sound on the fire tv. :)

OK, thanks. I haven't noticed any differences but I was just wondering if there any processing overheads which it would be beneficial to shift to the Fire TV box rather than have the TV do?
 
ok will have to return it to Tescos its only 3 month old and its been doing it since I bought it.... hopefully they will do a swap for a new one...

not really.

you bought dvd's so therefore you would think you would use a dvd player to watch them right?

if you wanted to stream them to a tv then you should have bought digital versions or netflix/amazon prime, etc.

it's also not your media you don't own the rights to it. you have simply paid for 1 licensed copy and therefor are bound by the rights of owning that 1 copy that you cannot copy it.

IMO it is a stupid ruling but the judge probably wasn't very tech savvy and saw the opinion that copying it was the majority would be done to sell on pirated copies. which it is IMO. only a very small amount of ripped copies are for personal use IMO.

I've only just got into all this prime. Media playing boxes so it would just be a lot easier for me to put my old blu rays dvds onto my fire tv to watch them. I see no harm in it What so ever. If I could predict the future then idbe loaded and wouldn't be bothered about buying all my films again in digital format .
 
just put Kodi on my fire stick. My HTPC is downstairs for the main TV

The fire stick is installed on a bedroom tv. Kodi works, finds my HTPC and I can scroll through folders and watch films and tv shows as I can downstairs. BUT i have no Art work on Kodi of the actual film (dvd cases) is this something it will not do on the fire stick through KODI?
