The Amazon Fire TV Stick is a small, portable streaming video player that looks like a large USB flash drive. The Fire TV brand launched in 2014 to enable video content to be streamed to a television via an internet connection.

Setting Up Amazon Fire TV

Unlike a standard USB drive, the Fire Stick doesn’t store any data. It plugs into the HDMI port on your TV. The device will guide you through setup, from logging into existing services to connecting to your Amazon account so you can access any digital video or music purchased through the company. You can even view photos uploaded to the Amazon Cloud Drive

What You Get

Even if your TV doesn’t have the most advanced features, the TV Fire Stick can turn it into a Smart TV. You can access a range of regularly updated content. Amazon Prime, Netflix, Hulu, HBO Now, and Disney Plus are among the 15,000 apps and games you can access. You can even watch YouTube videos on your TV.

You’re probably used to operating the TV and other electronics with a remote control. Universal remote controls take things to a new level. When they’re lost or they break, you’ll need a replacement TV remote that can also regain control of your TV, CD/DVD player, DVR, cable/satellite box, soundbar, game console, and/or home theater system.

How Do Universal Remote Controls Work?

Universal remotes typically send infrared light, at your command, to a receiver (some use radio frequency signals, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth). They differ from standard remotes in that they save codes for different devices. A programmable memory lets these devices communicate with multiple gadgets. Instead of three, four, or more remote controls, you can get by with just one.

Types

The types of universal remote controls available include:

  • Pre-programmed: A remote that can be used with certain devices from select brands or those made by a specific manufacturer.
  • Learning: Can learn and mimic commands and individual functions from other remotes by pointing one device at another.
  • Programmable (code/no-code): Some remotes require a special code to be typed in; others scan for a code when you follow the proper steps.

Features

Some universal remotes look like traditional remote controls. However, newer models with digital LCD touchscreens let you access features like you would on a smartphone. Higher-end models may have USB ports, enabling set-up via a computer, and they support access to a wider range of features on more devices.
