Attention, FireStick Users!

Governments and ISPs constantly monitor your online activity, and accessing copyrighted content on your Fire TV Stick could lead to serious trouble. Currently, your IP is visible to everyone. I strongly recommend getting the best FireStick VPN to mask your IP address and securely stream your favorites.

I personally use ExpressVPN, the fastest and most secure VPN available. Not only is it easy to install on any device, it comes with a risk-free 30-day money-back guarantee. Plus, if you're not 100% satisfied, you can always get a refund. ExpressVPN is currently also offering a whopping 3 extra months free on their annual plan!

Here are reasons why using a VPN at all times is essential.

Unfortunately I cannot see my home movies, and saved films that I previously had. Is there something I have done something wrong? I have all my family videos on apple movies and now cannot access them on the fire stick tv anymore, only on my phone or Mac. Any suggestions please?

I am using the Apple TV app on the Firestick 4k to watch content on a Samsung 4K TV. I had the Firestick display settings set to auto. Unfortunately, content on Apple TV seemed way over digitized, resulting in highlights (whites of eyes, teeth, grey hair, etc.) appearing almost iridescent or glowing. The only way I have been able to lessen the issue is to drop the Firestick display resolution to 1080P. This helped, but now I really can’t take advantage of the 4k. Is this a known issue and am I stuck having to downgrade Firestick display resolution whenever I want to watch Apple TV?

  Hi David, FireStick 4k does support 4k through the Apple TV app. I suggest returning the resolution to 4k and messing with the display settings to try to tone down the highlights.
