There are a lot of reasons to get an Amazon Fire TV Stick. It lets you make a regular TV smart and gives you easy access to all your video streaming apps. Even if you have a smart TV, the Fire Stick interface is likely faster and less buggy than whatever is on the TV. More importantly, it’s cheap. If you’ve bought one and are ready to get started, here’s everything you need to know about how to set up an Amazon Fire Stick!
What you need to get started
The first thing you need to do is to make sure that the Fire Stick will work with your TV. You’re good to go if it comes with an HD resolution (or higher) and has an HDMI port. You can get around the HDMI port requirement with the right HDMI to AV converter, but your mileage may vary.You’ll need a good internet connection. Every video streaming app has similar minimum speed requirements. For example, Amazon Prime Video needs a 1Mbps connection for SD content. HD and Full HD bumps up that minimum to 3.5Mbps and goes up to 15Mbps for 4K content. Obviously, faster is always going to be better.Of course, you’ll also need an Amazon Fire TV Stick. It’s currently priced at $39.99 for the 1080p version and sets you back an additional $10 for the 4K-capable device. Keep in mind that discounts and special offers are often available that make the Fire Stick even cheaper.Already having an Amazon account makes the setup process a touch faster. When buying the device on Amazon, you will be asked whether you want to connect the Fire Stick to your account.How to set up Amazon Fire Stick
