Fire TV Stick (Electronics)

Customer Review

I have to stick in the morning ordering option saved me for 19 euros because I wanted to know what is going on with the reproduction quality and the user experience to be. In addition, not much broken should the small turn out as bad buy.
Amazon Prime I have always to the PCs used that I have under any TV, unfortunately, were with the playback method always problems with this strange MS Silverlight plug-in connected or the stuttering that have crept in despite the PCs more than sufficient steam and had hung on a Gigabit network. That's why I could not even imagine that it would work with this stick and a WLAN connection.
I just could not quite believe that this small stick with its quite simple hardware which no cell phone manufacturer would block more in its smartphones and only has Wireless LAN Ruckelffreie a HD movie can ensure reproduction.
Right after the start I had a look at the Einrichtungsfilmchen after I noticed establishment to my amazement at the WLAN that the Fire TV Stick has not only recognized my 2.4GHz WLAN but also the newer 5GHz frequency band. Very nice.
Is perhaps also in the description but I have dealt with the unspecified device since it was announced only on 28 April and was already delivered on 17 April.
Wireless level was after the establishment is "very good" despite the fact that with so just now getting reception in this corner of the house and high end smartphones, that's for a great plus.
The home is readily apparent after boot and you are also getting ready to Prime library. There you will also find a number of other menu items such as the settings, apps, etc. All series quite clearly kept and tidy.
Having driven and started a movie was equal to the first shock.
Sound could be heard but no picture, only a blue background image with a note that HDCP is not working and an image output is disabled, in English.
After several boats and replugging the sticks in different ports I've tried it sometimes without the supplied HDMI Extender and since everything worked. A call to Amazon has clarified that the Extender is probably defective.
I got then an Amazon 8 euros voucher.
Without Extender now nothing standing in the way of the movie experience.
Everything is soft as silk and are in HD playing, no stuttering or trailer recorded. Here I should perhaps note that I am using a 50 Mbit internet connection and also for years use the Telekom Entertain offer.
To what extent that might be important I do not know but maybe that something has indeed to do with the streaming quality per se.
When setting up shield is strongly advised to use the original USB power adapter that was supplied and LT. The USB Typical voltage of 5 volts at 1.8 amps provides.
The power supply and the Micro USB cable witnesses also of very high quality. However, I have found through trial and error that the drive also wonderful on TV's USB port works, the 1.8 A from the power supply seems to be not essential.
But since it is disturbing that the stick every time reboots when the TV is turned on, I decided the USB port on my Entertain receiver to benefit because of this current outputs via USB even in standby. The drive must not be turned off because it goes into a sleep mode after half an hour and can be reactivated simply by pressing any key on the remote control and then immediately available again after use.
After a weekend of intense use in things simple games apps I've installed, the power seems sufficient. Anyone have an outlet has released should, however, still use the safe side, the supplied NT, unfortunately is not with me is the case.
Positive mention I have to conclude with the small remote control that appears to work well needs with radio because not in "Visibility field" of the stick is the FB behind the TV. The keys have a very pleasant pressure point and work promptly without noticeable delay. Batteries (AAA) are also included. Outfitted they must not be, she works "out of the box".
It can be used also for certain games no game controller is really necessary. The controller can be but here on Amazon even specially order and is not only for Fire TV Box but also with this stick compatible. Unfortunately, he is least. Just as expensive as the TV Stick.
Finally I can say that I am very satisfied with the performance it small and the price is ridiculous for the performance, but a high-quality NT plus cable comes almost to the 20 Euro.
Amazon has somehow managed everything so that it works just as well if, like me, the wireless router is to optimize not just next door.
However, anyone who has a general range problem with its wireless router or want to play higher-quality games maybe should consider buying the Fire TV Box. This has stronger hardware and a RJ45 connector for a LAN cable.

Supplement dated 28/04/15:
I now have one more 2.Stick bought for the second TV.
It's also nice to sideload feature with the app "Apps2Fire" This allows normal APK's on the stick install with a smartphone or tablet.
So I also have the app "ES File Manager" to install with which it is possible over the network to shared Windows folder access to view files from there, play movies, etc. Unfortunately, these apps have which are not of the Amazon Store awkward about settings / App management be started.
The ADB function and foreign sources acceptance must first be activated in the settings.
But when they are first installed they run just as well as on a normal Android device.
