Tim Barlow
5.0 out of 5 starsBreathes new life into TVs with fewer features
Reviewed in Australia on 28 October 2020
So a couple of years ago I bought one of the last Hisense TVs before they went Android. It had Netflix and a handful of other streaming services on it and I thought it was everything I would need. But, as we all know, over the last few years the streaming environment has been changing radically. We now have Disney+, Kayo, Prime Video (of course) and even some of the free-to-air apps that are not available on the Hisense platform.

I don't use all of these, but I wanted to use some. At first I tried using a Chromecast but it was a pain having my mobile with me and loading it with a whole bunch of apps that I didn't want on my phone just to play videos via the Chromecast device. What I wanted was something that could play ALL the apps I could ever want, via a remote (in other words, contain the apps on the device), and that had the ability to support new apps when needed. The Fire TV stick is that device.

I do note that the newer Chromecasts have their own remote as well so it's possible that they are now doing the same thing so my comments about it relate to the older generation of them. They got hot, if you left them plugged in to the power supply they gave you, they were not always robust when you went to use them, and if you did what I used to do (plug the device into a USB port in the side of the TV for power, meaning it was only on when the TV was) they whined at you about the power supply. Constantly. And also prevented you from playing HD video.

The Fire TV Stick on the other hand complained at me twice, then stopped. It plays full HD even though it's plugged into the TV rather than the provided power supply. It's easy to use, and even integrates the content from different apps to some degree, even though I really only use it for Prime Video at the moment as it was the main thing I wanted that was not available on my TV.

I was pleasantly surprised by this device. It works; well. Easy to set up, easy to use, and on TVs that are not already loaded with some apps, would handle all your streaming needs quite well. The unit seems to read the remote quite well even though the unit is stuck behind the TV and can't be seen from the front. The voice activation system was hit and miss when I tried it, but I'm not a voice command type of person so I didn't persist with it and it may well work quite effectively for the average person if you're into that sort of thing.

There are some minor things - some of the movies it finds it wants to charge you for; I'm not sure how that works and it might be an Amazon thing, perhaps I'm just too used to Netflix. In any event, for the most part I've been able to watch all I want to watch via this device and I'm happy with it.

As a way of breathing new life into older TVs or getting a 'cheaper' (read as less features) TV to work in the modern world, this is not a bad idea. The math is simple. A TV that has all the apps you want will cost you up to thousands more depending on size and brand, whereas this (for less than $100) gives you the features you want without the cost of integrating it into a TV at high cost.

Bottom line? This is essentially the equivalent of the old 'set top boxes' we all had to get when TV first went digital in Australia. If you want to stream content and your TV isn't up to it, this gets you the features you want without ditching an otherwise perfectly good TV.

1.0 out of 5 starsDoesn’t cast all steaming apps
Reviewed in Australia on 8 October 2020
You can’t cast apps that Amazon fire stick doesn’t recognise. I’ve been using Google chrome cast and we thought to switch to Amazon as we have Alexa set up in our home but just tried to cast Kayo (sporting app) and it won’t recognise it. We will be regifting this fire Stick as it’s useless to us. Stick with google chrome cast its a lot better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Device to Give a New Life to your outdated television
Reviewed in Australia on 21 October 2020

Very Happy with the latest Fire Stick as it helped convert a non smart idle television to a smart device. My old television is able to work like a new smart television with added features missing previously. Fire Stick is great value for money easily saving customers the trouble of buying and installing a new television besides savings in $$ and time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great value Firestick
Reviewed in Australia on 29 October 2020
Verified Purchase
I have over the past year, bought two US Firesticks, one 2nd Gen and the other a 4K stick from Amazon US. I purchased the US Firestick because only the old Basic first Generation was on offer via Amazon Australia.
The U.S. 2nd gen stick was fine but the 4K stick was even better. Unfortunately, Australian Prime Vidow was not accessible on these two U.S. sticks. This new offering by Amazon, is available on Amazon Australia and is fantastic value. It may not have Volume controls or On/Off button but it does have Alexa. Australian streaming sites such as Australian Prime Video, Stan, Netflix, ABC iView , SBS on demand etc are all to be had on installing the stick on your TV. It is much much cheaper too than the the 2nd gen and 4K sticks. I recommend this Firestick. Good value for your dollar. I think Amazon have made it cheaper to entice people onto Amazon Prime membership which gives you free access to their Video channel and music etc. I suspect, they will expand their offerings on the Prime Video too, putting greater pressure on the competition. A plus for Amazon Firestick fans.

The "firestick" installs easily and apps are easily downloaded from your Amazon account after you have activated the device.. The fire stick has bought new life to an older "non-smart" TV. by allowing streaming from local TV sites! Good value. It has a very handy voice recognition feature great for searching sites.

The Fire TV stick was extremely easy to setup, the easiest device I have ever installed and configured, adding items to the menu was simple, navigation is a dream. PIcture quality is excellent. Using Alexa to navigate works well also. The price for the Fire TV stick was great and excellent value for the money. I highly recommend this device.

Every so often something comes along that is great value, works perfectly, makes sense and is easy to use. The Fire TV Stick Lite is one of those (rare) items. 10/10 from me - couldn't be happier. Thanks Amazon.

This is my second one of these (the first was the fancier model). Simply unbeatable value, similar features to an Apple TV for a small fraction of the price, I use apple devices but can't justify buying anything other than this, when it's such good value.

Love it . I set it up in no time flat, then took it over and watched it on the friend’s TV, and then took it to a holiday location and installed it there just as quickly. Such a fabulous little device and looks great too. Excellent value .

Easy setup & use. You can stream all your local stations & YouTube or pay $7 per month to get a great library from Amazon. As well as all the other services if you want then. Great value.

This little tool is just great, simple to setup, even easier to use. It’s opened my eyes to what I am paying for at the moment for a main steam subscription provider and it’s questionable value.
