Some Amazing Fire TV Tips and Tricks
I am back with some more interesting fire TV tips and tricks that you would really love to know. By now, I am sure that you must be acquainted with all the Amazon Fire TV Products including the Fire TV Cube, Fire TV Stick, the Fire TV Stick 4K, and the Fire TV Stick Lite, etc. In fact, even if you have the Amazon Fire TV Stick Lite, it has all the features that would satisfy your needs because all these products are powered by MediaTek chipsets and are sophisticated enough to fulfill your needs at home and even on the go.
So here are some more tips and tricks that can help you make better usage of the Amazon Fire TV Stick or similar other products. Make sure you try them once:
Using Alexa without Remote:
The best advantage of great connectivity, owing to the Mediatek chipset, is that you can ease your efforts to a great extent. Earlier, you needed to press the microphone button on your remote to offer instructions to Alexa. However, now you can do that even without a remote. All you need to do is connect your smart TV to a smart Echo device like Echo Dot or Echo Show, and you can ask the device to control your television the way you like it.
Fire TV Stick on the Go:
Even if you are on a holiday and do not wish to miss out on the fun of your favorite shows, you can carry the Fire TV Stick or the Cube with you on your trips.
You can connect the smart Fire TV product to your hotel Wi-Fi, even if the internet requires additional details to log on, such as room number. In fact, it also works if you are a student, say, and need to share dorm Wi-Fi. Just go to Settings, followed by Network, and find the network you want to connect to. If more details need to be entered, a webpage will get opened with the additional boxes according to the need of your hotel or the dorm.
Change Featured Content:
It’s so boring to switch on your TV and find the content that is suggested by the TV manufacturer. In fact, it needs a little bit of effort to tune in to your favorite shows. But how about making some effort for once and changing the featured content as per your preferences?
Well, this is absolutely possible. You just need to go to the Settings followed by Preferences followed by Featured Content, and you can switch on or off “Video Autoplay” and “Audio Autoplay” independently. By switching them off you can save a lot of your internet, especially when you are on a limited data plan or using your hotspot.
Switch off Targeted Advertisement:
Admit it, we all hate advertisements, whether on our smartphones, desktops, or even our TV. But even your smart TV could be infested with some advertisements which many people love to see, but most of them do not. However, if you hate these ads, you can simply turn them off. All you need to do is go to the Settings followed by Preferences followed by Advertising ID, and you can switch it off from there and you can even reset your Advertising ID to stop seeing ads.
Set Parental Controls:
There are some shows and programs that you would not wish to flash before your minor kids and Amazon Fire TV products allow you to set parental controls for such things. In fact, you can PIN-protect your purchases and apps, even the Prime Photos app, so when someone unauthorized would wish to access it, they would need a four-digit PIN before accessing any of those features.
These are some really interesting Fire TV tips and tricks that I came across some time ago, and even you can use them to get better outcomes out of your Fire TV products. Do use them and do return with your experiences.
