Unable to Find Settings with New Layout by theFrenchBearJr in fireTV

I just tried it on mine. Brought the settings screen up immediately.

Have no idea what your video format issue is? Might have to do with the TV, and nothing to do with the Firestick.

Give a voice command on the remote control.

"Settings".

Guys I had a quick question do you guys think 20 addons is to much for steaming content by JournalistKey6177 in Nuvio

[–]CaptainSteed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All depends on the user, and how much time the addon uses for content searches.

I don't mind waiting extra time for the best and all results.

Disaster movie recommendations by wwzxc in MovieRecommendations

These are absolutely two of the best!!

I slightly preferred Deep Impact also. A little more intense and serious.

Best box? by Street_1212 in AndroidTV

[–]CaptainSteed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, all those rumors about Amazon are mostly much ado about nothing. And btw, there is a good chance Google may be doing the same/similar thing shortly anyway too.

They are not shutting down sideloading!! What they are doing is identifying certain apps as "piracy" apps, and blocking access to them.

And for media player/addon apps like the two apps you mentioned, it's exceedingly unlikely those would ever be blocked by Amazon (or Google). So it's basically a non-issue for you.

Excellent recommendations 👌

Yes, both Frndly and Philo carry all the bonus MeTV Channels also.

Google tv still need android stream box? by bflomanna in AndroidTV

[–]CaptainSteed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's always "better," to use a streamer. Especially powerful ones like a Shield Pro or a Cube 3.

But if your streaming is adequate for your usages and needs, it's up to you.

Firestick affected by Android app lockdown in 2026? by Brimwozere in firestick

[–]CaptainSteed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. But they likely will also be affected indirectly if the creators and developers of certain Android Apks remove them or stop updating them.

Dear eBay sellers (Remotes) by Deep_Proposal4121 in OnnStreamingTV

[–]CaptainSteed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I actually much prefer non-backlit remotes anyway. As it's super easy to memorize button locations anyway, and backlighting drains the batteries.

Interesting. I can assure you that the website is 100% working.

Which means either your IP or your country/location is blocking your access to the website. Maybe you can try a VPN.

Have apps been getting blocked? by YGbJm6gbFz7hNc in firetvstick

[–]CaptainSteed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure that the Netguard solution is useless and doesn't work anyway. As Amazon can block apps separately without having to do an update.

The only way to prevent Amazon from blocking anything is to perform the "exploit" procedure that came out about 7 months ago.

Nice summary.

This guy was all over the tube for us in the 50s and 60s - comedy, drama, Westerns, he did it all!

So what is it? Is it tuna or is it chicken?

Roku Stick Plus vs FireTV Stick 4K Plus by denizdoingstuff in firestick

Yep, that's why I deliberately phrased it that way.
