Using a Amazon 4k firestick to stream

[Blockhead1]

Hello, first post.

Can anyone tell me if they have got the Amazon firestick to work with TNT and Now tv without dropping frames ? I have just started with EE and the mini box does a good job of streaming the moving banner at the bottom of Sky Sports News without judder. If I use a slightly older 4K stick it can judder a bit across the stream, I am wondering if a newer model would cure this. My reason for asking is I am still in the cooling off period and will be paying an extra £10 a month for this mini box for 24 months ( contract with bt but total price was the same as EE would have been )

Thanks in advance

Good morning @Blockhead1, welcome to the EE Community 😊

Just to double check here, but are you facing any specific issues with your EE TV Mini box, or were you just querying Firesticks as an alternative?

The mini box works fine, it is just that it will cost me £240 over the two years and I believe I can watch one thing on the EE box pro and another member of the family could use the app on the firestick to watch something different at the same time negating the need for the mini. I am right in this ?

I have found that by setting the firestick to 50hz things have improved.

Many Thanks

@Blockhead1 Yes you can download the EETV app to your Firestick and browse and watch select channels this way and you can watch on two devices at a time. Accessing other channels on the Firestick will require installing the dedicated app, such as NowTV app for your NowTV channels, Netflix, BBC iPlayer etc
