SoxFan Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 Biggest problem I have found with a few Derek did was the stick was associated with his account and Amazon would not allow me to download needed programs. You may have to create an Amazon account and register the stick under your account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomL Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 There is a fellow named Rich who has been doing Firesticks for several months now. He has reprogrammed several of Derek's old fire sticks. He is quite good at it and installs a number of apps. He did ours and we are very happy with it. -- We get all the news channels, lots of movies, TV shows, etc. In fact we are thinking of cancelling Netflix as we get so much on the Firestick for free. His phone number is 332 051 2398. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M&C Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 An excellent resource is troypoint.com. I get emails and updates on what is working. There are excellent instructions and videos for cord-cutters. The apps for movies and TV can vary in how they are working and the updates I receive are extremely helpful. I bought a Firestick years ago and then I paid Derek to install some apps. But when they stopped working I stumbled onto Troypoint and now it is easy to keep things updated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general, if you have buffering on Netflix, Youtube or Hulu then the problem is likely your internet service is too slow or it maybe that you have an original Firestick; a Firestick 4K may solve your problem. If you don't have buffering problems on Netflix or Youtube but have buffering on IPTV then the problem is likely your IPTV source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lakeside TV does not buffer with ILOX. I tried four others and they all buffered. Google and U tube don't buffer with ILOX. Google lakeside TV for more info.
