Hi all. Old thread I know. I just bought 2 new Fire TV 4K sticks to upgrade from a first generation and a second generation. Couldn't be happier. The 4K is a rocket. I subscribe to Amazon Prime, Starz and Britbox. All run beautifully.

Thanks Robert. Another favorite of mine that I don't have, but soon will. Just watched it a few days ago using the Starz app on my Fire TV stick.

Thanks for the review Robert. This film has long been a favorite of mine. I have it on DVD, but will certainly buy it again on Blu.

Hi all. I'm watching Spartacus as I try to compose this post on my point phone (tablet needs a new battery). I'm watching my HD-DVD copy. May not be perfect but it still looks pretty darn good.

Hi all. While IAWL may not be what we'd all like it to be, I'm thankful that it is on BD, and overall, looks great to my eyes. My set is only a 46", so I don't see some of the negatives that would be evident on, say, an 8 or 10 foot projector setup. I'm 67, so I grew up watching these wonderful...

I saw this at a theater in Connecticut in 1965. I was 16. Seems like only yesterday. One of the funniest scenes for me was when Marvin's character fell off the wagon. Marvin was back in his raggidy clothes, on his horse and slumped down in the saddle. Somehow they managed to get the horse to...

There is a God!!! Casablanca, Key Largo and To Have And Have Not are my top three favorite films with Mr. Bogart, and they're in my top ten of favorites no matter who's in it. To read your review that it's top notch has made my day! Thanks Robert.

Thanks Robert. A terrific show from Netflix. BTW, for those who may not know, there is a season 5 coming. Really looking forward to it.

Great news, long a favorite of mine. Thanks for posting, Noach!

Hi again all. Thought I'd update my results with the stick . I've had it since the Nov. 26th. As I posted previously, I'm very pleased with this gadget. Along with Amazon Prime for movies, tv, and music, I also use(d) it for Netflix (30 day trial just expired a few days ago). I sideloaded ES...

Hi all. I'm watching The Abyss right now as I post this from my tablet. It's on Cinemax. PQ is VERY nice. So, given that we can see this on a movie channel like Cinemax, and, again, PQ is, to my eyes, excellent, why can't we at the very least get a decent DVD?

I picked up the Fire TV stick last week at Best Buy for $25. I bought it primarily for Amazon Prime. So far, I'm very pleased with it.Prime streaming works perfectly, no buffering.I've also installed the apps for Prime music, Netflix and Crackle. I have it connected to my receiver (Yamaha)...

BS Player for movies stored on my PC. HBO GO for watching HBO (via DirecTV). Showtime Anytime for watching Showtime (via DirecTV). The DirecTV app. Jump Desktop. Lets me actually run my PC from my tablet, not just access files. My Movies Pro for Android. A cataloging app for DVDs. These are...

Still use my XA2, no issues at all.

Ditto.
