    One thing I did when I first got mine (it's a version 2 I think) was to lower the res to 760 even though I've a big TV. I'm perfectly happy with that and that made a difference. I think it used to overheat and lock up actually from memory, this helped stop that.

    Hi. Since day one this firestick is slow when switching channels on an IPTV account i have. Im also running a vpn .
    Any other stick when I switch channels are most instantly this stick will take time to load the channel. So going from channel to channel on an IPTV is painful and it takes at least 5 -10 seconds to switch.
    HELP, as i dont want to throw these things out.

    I have upcoming travel where Internet service will be spotty to nonexistent. I will have access to a TV with HDMI inputs along with a ROKU 4K Stick and a Fire TV Stick 4K. In the past I've tried streaming to both the ROKU and Firestick without Internet with no luck. Is there some technique for making this work?
    Assuming you can NOT stream to ROKU and Firestick with no Internet is there a way to connect a USB drive with movies on it to a ROKU 4K Stick and use the ROKU media player. I have one of the OTA cables mentioned on this channel for sharing USB devices with a Firestick which I think should work for the Firestick.

    I don't understand why it's soooo god damned slow doing basic things? One thing I find particularly irritating is as I'm navigating around Amazon prime it starting "previews" I don't want to see that can take ages to get going and just piss over the whole experience. "Minimise previews as you navigate" would be a fantastic option I'd tick until I broke the remote. Maybe have a "show preview" button. As I type this I don't even know if it's hung totally or just hanging for 30 seconds as it pisses around loading a whole load of navigation slowing crap and .. black screen. It's crashed totally by looks of things. Marvelous. Amazon app on amazon device. Stable as a drunk one legged man.
    Edit:THanks once I restarted the damned thing I've disabled the featured content settings.
