Football fans can upgrade their home viewing experience for less, as the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K drops to £36.99 in a limited-time offer, reduced from £59.99. The device, praised by one shopper as perfect for watching football with 'no buffering', offers a saving of more than £20 for those looking to enhance their TV without buying a new set.
Features and Performance
The Fire TV Stick 4K is designed to deliver smoother 4K streaming, with Wi-Fi 6 support helping it maintain performance even when multiple devices are connected to the same router. It provides 4K Ultra HD picture quality with support for Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and Dolby Atmos audio, while users can access thousands of films and TV episodes through services including Netflix, Prime Video and Disney+ (subscription fees may apply), as reported by Daily Star.
There are also plenty of free viewing options through ad-supported apps, such as Twitch and Pluto TV, while the built-in Xbox app allows users to stream compatible games through Xbox Game Pass Ultimate without requiring a console.
Voice Control and Smart Home Integration
The Alexa Voice Remote makes it straightforward to search for and control content using voice commands, with preset buttons for popular apps and controls for TV power and volume. The device can also be used to control compatible smart home gadgets, including cameras and lights, through Alexa.
Shopper Reviews and Alternatives
The Amazon Fire TV Stick has achieved a high 4.7 out of five-star rating from almost 30,000 reviews on Amazon. One person commented: "Just a lovely device to use. The button for Alexa works very well, which I mainly use for Amazon Music. Picture quality, there are absolutely no issues, and watching football on NOWTV through the Fire TV Stick has no buffering at all so far."
Another stated: "I used to watch movies and football, so having the 4K stick makes the picture perfect. I would recommend the 4K stick to everyone and I got mine on sale at £39.99, so that was also a great bonus price." A third shopper noted: "Good item. Good price I paid at the time, the remote works on my TV as well, so I don't have to search for the TV remote anymore and have the remote control nearby."
Some customers deducted a star, with one person explaining: "Came quickly. Set it up. Then it went faulty, rang Amazon and was given help to reset it and get it working. Finding numbers is difficult, though." One reviewer commented: "Works well but is sometimes a bit slow buffering. It's not the internet, my speeds are always good, and it never happened with my original Fire Stick. However, it is easy to use and fit, comes with a neat controller and saves me a fortune. I would recommend it to friends and family."
Other streaming options include the Roku HD Streaming Stick for £24.99, reduced from £29.99, at Argos, which features apps like BBC iPlayer, Netflix and YouTube, and includes a voice remote. Currys stocks the Google TV Streamer 4K in porcelain for £99.99, which enables streaming of 4K HDR content with personalised recommendations and supports Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby Atmos sound.
