I have FireStarter and Kodi installed on mine, however I'd like to use the stock Netflix / Hulu / Twitch apps and have unpaired the FireTV from my Amazon Account. Any ideas / suggestions?

Anybody have an older version of Netflix or HBOGO that is still functional? Or other tricks/hacks?
I sideloaded from the google play store Netflix and HBOGO and there must be some detection built in that disables the stream to chromecast icon on amazon fire phones (can't imagine why, oh yeah maybe it's because they have a competing hdmi streaming stick product)
I've read on other support forums that people have tried the same build netflix .apk on regular android devices and the chromecast streaming works fine, but is disabled when the same .apk is loaded on the amazon fire phone. Also, prior to around April 2014 it seems chromecast features DID work in Netflix/HBOgo apps on the fire phone. Which definitely smells like dirty pool to me.
thanks in advance...
Hey,
What's a way to prevent the Fire TV from being linked to any Amazon accounts?
Also what would it do if you had no Amazon account linked to the box? Can you still download non-amazon apps?
If you had no Amazon account linked to the box, you would have no home screen.
There's no way to use the Fire TV or Fire TV Stick without first logging in with an Amazon account.
Scratching my head with something. I've currently got 2 Fire TV 1's and a 1st Gen Fire TV stick. All have geo restricted apps on them including the official Amazon BBC iPlayer. I recently purchased the 2nd Gen Fire TV stick and for some reason both the BBC iPlayer and Starz and Encore Play won't show up in the Amazon cloud to transfer it to the device, even though they've been purchased and like I said both apps are on the other three Fire TV devices. When I go to manage devices, it says that all 3 apps are incompatible with the Fire TV stick, yet the 1st Gen has both the BBC iPlayer and Starz Play. I've had no other problem with other U.K apps ( Itv hub, channel 4, channel 5 ) ready to download as soon as I signed into my Amazon account, but the iplayer is nowhere to be seen, nor can I transfer it from my Amazon account. I've sideloaded a keyboard version of the iplayer, but it's just not as efficient.
Just wondering if anyone else has come across this problem. The iPlayer app being geo-restricted, I get, but can someone explain to me why Starz or Encore play app doesn't even show up on the U.S app content when you do a search on the Fire TV for them, yet both apps are on my current Fire TV boxes and stick. When you do a search for Starz play, it goes to the paid content or asks you to sign up for a free 7 day trial. Since I'm just looking for to install the app on the Fire TV stick 2, why isn't it even on there. HBOgo and Showtime anytime are on there, so why no Starz or encore play?
Yes
I'm having this problem as well. Sometimes, they show up a few days later.
No clue what may be causing this.
Also, I have found that I can launch the missing apps from the Settings - Apps - Manage menu.
Hi,
I had sideloaded Directv for tablet app onto my 2nd gen Fire TV Stick running latest version and successfully login to my account. However, the app is keep crashed randomly every time I run the app. it is a matter of time, sometime it crash during navigation within the app, sometime during streaming LiveTV.
Anybody had same problem with me? Please let me know how to get rid of it. Is it crashed because of Fire TV stick have lower spec than Fire TV so that it can't handle Directv app? Does Fire TV handled it well?

Hello, I need a vpn working with amazon fireTv stick. I have installed NordVpn on my router but amazon prime and netflix works on pc only, and not on amazon fire stick. It can see the vpn and doesn't permit streaming. I need a VPN that have a working server in Italy cause i use italian streaming almost time. Do anyone know a full forking vpn with these characteristic?
Is it possible to hyde vpn to amazon fire stick without disable it on my router?
I see that is possible to root amazon fire tv stick. Routing is it possible to install netflix or amazon prime apk not from amazon store? (now I can install apk, but it does't permit amazon prime and netflix if not from amazon store).
Thank you!

Just buy a subscription with one of the main advertised vpns, some apps will not let you access with a VPN though but you can tunnel those as the ones it doesn't work with like prime etc I don't see why you'd need a VPN anyway
