Firestick general discussion thread

i have the installer on the stick,but how do i get the 3 files on to the stick from the pc ?

i usually use adblink but thats not sending the 3 files to the stick.

I've the 3 files on my pc,so how do I send them to the stick??

finally got it up and running,thanks very much :)

they're generally reduced yeah, wouldn't buy them at full price.

4k is included as standard with prime & Disney+, you'd also be able to stream 4k from your other sources. obviously need a 4k TV too

I'm fortunte to get the odd trip to the US and paid $27 for a 4k Gen 2 and the 4k max gen 2 was $39 mlast month . The main difference for me being that the former is wifi 6 and the latter wifi 6e. I think there are storgae differences as well. They usally have comparable deals on the UK amazon site for Black friday. This issue is they wont post /send to an address in the Republic

I always buy from Amazon. You can you use your existing account and change country in the app if on phone or just try login to '.com' rather than '.co.uk' or set up a new account. I always use Amazon locker. That way if anything happens and you don't collect your 'stuff' within 72 hours Amazon take it back and refund you. I find that you can get same day delivery to most lockers when it comes to Firesticks and most of Amazon's own branded hardware. Best buy always have them in stock if you fancy a more traditional bricks and mortar shop and they seem to track the Amazon website price

There is quite a few Amazon counter pickup points in Newry now. Oohpod lockers in Jonesborough is the latest one which is handy as they are open until 7pm weeknights and you have 7 days in which to collect.

Mind you, when Amazon finally open an Irish store next year, this will be a thing of the past.

I assumed they thought they'd have amazon.ie up two years ago 6 months after they stopped selling them to us from.co.uk and didn't realise Ireland is hard to business.

Maybe they just wanted to. Could be Brexit too.

Maybe they have a 3rd party deal with Currys not to sell them below a certain price - who knows

In any case, shop around as the 4k Max version is available at different prices

• Currys.co.uk are selling at €54 (£44.99 as part of Black Friday)
• On adverts.ie 'zteck naas' is selling at €60
  
• Currys.ie are selling at €89.99 (no Black Friday deal as yet)
  

On Amazon UK 4k Max gen 2 - £44.99 new, £40.99 refurbished, gen 1 34.99 / 31.99 respectively. They won't ship to Ireland though, so family/friends up North would be handy. ;-)
