See here. 110%, these are better than a smart TV (a non Android one anyway)

It's basically an Android box that's designed for TVs (so android TV) as opposed to getting one of the crappy Chinese android boxes which usually contain a version of Android designed for phones (touch screens) hence why they all need the control pads to operate them.

They're handy for the likes of IPTV or streaming services such as Netflix and prime video etc, and because it's an Amazon product you can be assured of the build quality and the aftercare that will come with it.

It's also extremely portable, making it easy to take into a different room with you, or over to a pals house (as I did recently during the Katie Taylor fight night) or even with you if you go on holidays as it's a lot easier to slip into the suitcase than the likes of a shield or other android box.

I've said it before on here, it's pretty much the best value android device going.

Order it with Revolut with a sterling balance of zero.
Order will be accepted.
You’ll get notified the payment is declined, but you have 5 days to update your payment.
Check the price tomorrow.
Keep the cheaper order, and cancel the pricier one.
QED.

is there any advantage to buying one of these from the UK instead of US?

I have one of these, but I'm getting error 5505 when trying to use prime video. Customer service told me I needed the basic version for it to work in Ireland.

They fixed it in 30 seconds for me, same code 5505, location code, try again.

Had this before, go on to their live chat. They need to change a location setting on your account. They sorted in a few minutes for me.

Anyone that has one of these, is the WiFi reception better than the original? I have the first firestick and the signal one room over was tragic. I can safely say it was the firestick because there was a smart TV and an Apple TV which both performed admirably.

they dont ship to ireland from either location.
you can use parcel motel for UK.
not sure how to forward from the usa which is why we are using .co.uk.


all in this works out at 41 euro i believe. (37.50 euro + 3.50 parcel motel). - edited parcel motel costs after correction from ted1

there are resellers here in a few locations but it costs 60 minimum.

Cheers ordered one there for Home TV..

Just wondering is it only the Fire TV and Echo Show 5 you can get at a discount price by asking Alexa?

Ah here , I didn’t know you can get a show. Just got a fire stick.

I can get all of the above without issue

Just got it.

Had the first version and found it sluggish so hopefully these have evolved over the years.

Yeah it's a vast improvement. I have the 4K on TV downstairs and original on TV upstairs. I'm upgrading the upstairs TV now.

I suspect they added some "upgrades" to the OS which contributed to the original slowing down in order to push you to get the newer one.

E30 on amazon.de but it says it wont deliver to ireland, can I get around this?

yes. I don't have a 4K TV, but the stick is 10 times better. Much faster and no stutters or delay when you click buttons.

Your next TV will be 4K so I think the 4K stick is worth the tiny bit extra cost.
