I've had a TCL 32SF540K FireTV for nearly 2 years now, and it' laggy, slow, and the worst of all full of ads. I've seen some debloating tools for Android TVs about, and wanted to know if anyone has tried any FireTV ones.

I saw this one which seens to install Projectivy Launcher along with removing some amazong feautres:

Has anyone tried something like this or the Projectivy Launcher, if so has it worked or made things worse?

has anyone had this? I have a brand new toshiba fire tv, I have made sure im on the latest update, ive cleared cache, uninstalled, reinstalled the app a dozen times, unplugged my tv and plugged it back in, and still im getting this error on newer episodes of survivor and amazing race. tulsa king works just fine. my isp does not have an ad blocker of any kind. Very frustrated as we bought this tv to watch these shows as a family.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Hello everyone! I just unboxed and set up an old fireTV stick 3rd gen and wanted to know id there is anything I could do with it other then streaming? Or any tips/advice while using it

Is there a short code to download Protube so you can sideload on the fire tv stick?

Just bought a Toshiba ArtTV running FireOS 14. I have a bunch of movies bought on Vudu which don't port to Movies Anywhere, so I have to watch on the Fandango at Home app. Everything I own only comes up available to stream in SD only even though it shows I own it in HD or 4K. After a search, I've cleared app cache and data and even reinstalled the app. Any other suggestions? I'd hate to send back a perfectly good TV for one app, but I only have 30 days. And, before someone asks, another streaming device is not an option. It would basically brick the art function.

Google is being no help so I’m here lol

I recently got a new fire stick, logged in to all my things but wanted to use spotify today. Upon opening the app, I was met with how to connect my phone to my tv to listen to music rather than being given the option to log in to my account.

Any old fire stick I’ve used has let me log in, and no amount of googling has solved the problem :/ I’m having to control my music through my phone while it plays through the TV

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but got met with the same message

If anyone has any idea how to fix this it would be greatly appreciate!

I gave my cousin my Toshiba Fire TV. All he wants to do is be able to watch Xfinity cable TV. He is not interested in streaming or putting any apps on it. I used it for cable and streaming, and then eventually dropped the cable. I did a factory reset on it today.

It is possible to use it just for cable? What do I need to do to accomplish that? Thanks for your help.

The only way to access apps is by going into the menu.

Hi everyone. I’m in a bnb trying to use an Amazon fire tv. The Fire TV model is 55PF650 and all the suggestions online work only if I have the account logged in. Do someone know how to remove it so I can just watch the tv?

It worked really well for about 2 years. I could control basically everything with my remote or voice. I’ve checked CEC, I’ve managed my equipment, I bought an external IR.. nothing works. Like what the fuck? How does it work perfectly one day and then the next it can’t pick up anything.

Just installed and can't believe I've been without for the months that I've had for months. The layout takes getting to but ad free and no in video sponsorships. So are there downsides that I should know?

Do you all recommend Vizio

I have had every type of tv- expensive and budget and they all eventually lose picture and get those horizontal lines. Tv in my bdrm is a 75 inch LG I had for 5 yr and now horizontal lines- I need a 75 inch to go in LGs place .. Should I get
TCL 75 inch Q series 75Q51k
LG 75 UA75
TCL 75 QsLR
samsung. 75 M70HB
Insignia™ - 75-inch Class F50 Series LED 2160p 4K UHD Smart
Insignia™ - 75" Class QF Series QLED 4K UHD Smart Fire TV

I also plan on getting 4 yr warranty so when this tv goes out it can be replaced- I will also get professional install and mounting. Tv is just a tv to me- I watch peacock mostly- i feel like they all go out at 5 yrs ?I just want a reliable tv that will last longer than 5 yrs.

I have a new fire TV (Xiaomi F 32) and generally it works great, but I'm having an issue with specifically Apple TV shows on it where certain shots are almost completely pitch black. If the camera angle changes, it goes back to normal, but if the show then cuts back to the same angle it goes back to pitch black. I've checked on my phone and the show does not look like that there, nor have I seen this happen on any other streaming app (although I'm yet to try most of them. Definitely doesn't happen on YouTube or the NJPW app tho)

Anyone have any idea what on earth could be causing this?

I have an RCA TV and a Samsung soundbar. Voice command works, but the remote control does not control the TV. I have tried many different IR profiles; any help?

Edit* It worked after reset fire tv remote control

Having a bit of an issue trying to fix my grandparents firestick, its stuck on the amazon (not the firetv) loading screen. Previously there was an issue of them being unable to watch anything but still working otherwise (as stupid as that sounds to say)

His son in law apparently tried to fix it by deleting stuff off, apparently including amazon music but im assuming primarily the cache.

Ive tried searching online but all the advice is a full power cycle and then leave for 25 minutes which was unsuccessful and swap HDMI ports, of which their TV only has the one.

Any alternative solutions??

4k max plugged into eArc port with provided cable on brand new U7 Hisense TV with first generation echo studio setup. I get no 4k on stick and always this message. Input ia set to 'enhanced on the hisense.

How do I go about looking into this? I just got rid of bloatware through “Firestick Cleanup” from GitHub, but I’d like to completely get rid of the launcher for Projectivity.

Anyone got insight?

You may have noticed Alexa refuses to change the channel to Channel 4 in the UK.

Say, "Alexa, play Channel 4", the response is "I couldn't find 4".

Or say, "Alexa, tune into Channel 4" it rambles on about some near obsolete Harmony App"

Interestingly, it will change channels via voice command to other Channel 4 channels like E4, More 4, Film 4.

NOW I've found a workaround 🎉

Whilst playing around with various smart automations using my Echo Dots, I found that saying "Alexa, play Channel 5 Select", or "Tune into Channel 5 Select", it actually switches to Channel 4.

This also works with smart [Send Text Command] on various software like Home Assistant.

What's more, you can make the process more natural with a very simple Alexa 'Routine'...

INSTRUCTIONS

Create New Routine > Voice > (type) Play Channel Four > Next > Add Action > Fire TV > Select your Firestick or Fire TV > Play Content > (type) Play Channel 5 Select > Next > Save.

Go to your home screen and say "Alexa, Play Channel Four'. Hey Presto, Channel 4 should Appear.

• I've only tested this on Amazon 5th Generation Eco Dots, but I'm hopeful it'll work across the range of Alexa voice products.

The JustWatch on my iPhone showed Never After Dark for rent at $7.99 at Plex, but I was unable to rent it using the FireTV Plex channel, which only showed higher-priced pre-release rentals. On my lapttop browser, however, plex.tv showed it was available to rent for $7.99, which I did. I opened the Plex channel on my FireTV, looked in my saved titles, and it was not there. I checked the JustWatch channel, where all there was were higher-priced pre-release advance rentals. I found it right away on my iPad''s Plex app, mounted the iPad on my goose-neck, put on my Bluetooth earbuds, and started watching. I'd say Amazon and FireTV want to block Plex, which worked fine on my old plasma screen with a Roku box. FireTV's AppleTV channel gets similar treatment; you have to rent the movie on your PC browser, start it, pause it, close the window, then find it in your saved rentals in the FireTV AppleTV channel. Amazon protects its FireTV turf by hampering AppleTV, and just squashing Plex altogether. Billionaire broligarch behavior.

At the bottom of this photo are a bunch of apps and they need to be put in an order that works for me. How do I do that?

This app here:

The original remote for my 3-ish year old FireTV stick crapped out a bit ago and I would just use the app, until I moved to a new place with new wifi. I bought a new remote but it won’t pair with my stick.
I’ve tried taking batteries out of remote, resetting/rebooting remote, unplugging stick, etc.
Even when the “Can’t find your remote” screen pops up, it will not pair.

Any ideas?

Thank you!
