    Without Side-loading, there is no point to a FireTV device, as you might as well just use your SmartTV's built in App, most now come with Netflix, Disney+, RUclips and Amazon Prime installed as standard anyway.

    I am so glad I didn't buy a firetv when I needed to replace my old tv . I had a funny feeling somehow buying one would be wasted $$$ because Amazon would have control over updates whether I wanted them or not ! Yeah there's just something about buying a product for certain features and then the company installing an update unwanted by the owners as if the company still has full ownership of said product . Thinking of buying a Onn cube in the future and hopefully I'll actually have some real ownership in that device .

    I pay for various tv networks , if they do stop loading what you want onto them then that's silly of them and probably won't upgrade my firestick for yrs and purchase another device , at moment I pay for amazon and usually upgrade yearly so they would surly be missing out on purchases of firesticks

    Amazon has stopped ADB Debugging which stops the usefulness of apps like mouse toggle. It was the last straw for me. Never buying a Firetv device ever again. Got my Nvidia Shield, my budget Onn box, OTG cables and flash drives for extra storage which meet all my needs.

    To me, they won't be changing the OS in updates on older devices. I'm not even sure they could change OS Android to Vega OS through an update. I have 2 older cubes, 2 firesticks, 4k max, and a fire tv running in my household. I had 3 of the newer 2nd gen, sold 1 to a friend for backup (for the reason of vega os he was worried about). Took 1 to mom n dad's when they bricked the firesticks. Now I have for backup is 1 newer 2nd gen cube, 2 3rd gen of the brand new cubes and 2 of the new firesticks max 6e. I also have updates shut off on all since they screwed up and bricked firesticks. I am not worried about them trying to update older fire products. Doubt it will happen or can be done. If someone actually knows that they can change OS in update, let me know

      @@Blackdog57 way better and faster than firestick with way more options in the settings. For only $14.88 it's a great deal. Highly doubt that it has malware it's made in Vietnam not China and side loading is spectacular for an iptv app and free movie apks. I haven't heard anyone say that it has malware I highly doubt that straight out the box.

    My fire stick has developed a problem and I am thinking of replacing it, now with all the speculation regarding side loading, would it be worth buying the latest fire stick? I have recently watched a video regarding "jailbreaking". Would it be possible with the latest model. Obviously this is just a hypothetical question and under now circumstances would I consider it. 🤫
