If you want to stream video with this make sure the app your watching buffers the video. Hulu for example does not buffer and the Fire TV stick wifi is not keeping a solid connection. Yes I know what you're thinking and not it's not my internet or wifi. I currently have verizon fios 100 up/down and use the google mesh wifi. Everything's new and runs fast. The stick just doesn't cut it. I would constantly get "connection interupted" errors and the show would just stop. Same for Netflix, however, atleast it buffers so your show wouldn't completely stop.
Just to make sure it was the stick I tried running all the same stuff on my old Apple TV and streamed Hulu flawlessly.
I really wanted this to work and I hate only leaving one star but if you can't stream a show the product is worthless. It's a shame because all my favorite movie apps are all in the same product but the hardware just isn't up for the job.
