Turn your old TV into a Smart TV

 

Fire TV Stick: Turn your old TV into a Smart TV

Currently, in most stores, we find high-tech televisions such as the famous Smart Tv (A team with which we can perform many actions that make life easier and improve our audiovisual experience). But if you do not have even a lot of money to buy it and your TV is not smart at all, quiet, there is a solution. You can give it a second life and get much more out of it with a Fire TV Stick. This is a 4k streaming media player that can be connected via HDMI to your TV.

When it's ready to use, it'll have an interface that looks a lot like a Smart TV and that we'll be able to control with the remote control that comes with it. We will also be able to do things like watch material from streaming platforms, surf the Internet, play games, and even make purchases using it. Simply say "Alexa" to activate Alexa voice control.

Although the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K is the same as the company's latest updated model so far. Its processor power consumption is 50% lower than its smaller counterparts, but in exchange, we will be able to have a maximum resolution of 4K. The controller remains the same as we saw in the Fire TV Stick, and its controller has the usual button system and voice buttons to call Alexa.

Recommendations:

I recommend using Fire TV Stick because for users who have purchased it has been a rewarding experience. The technology integrated with Alexa with its remote control, which does not require the use of a mobile, fast streaming, Full HD quality, Alexa, apps, Alexa Skills and channels, live TV, ability to listen to streaming music with Amazon Music, Spotify, and others ... and all with less than 5 minutes of installation and the cost/benefit ratio is something unbeatable.

Advantages of having a Fire Tv Stick at home

Play multimedia content This is perhaps the main feature and is most commonly used for this feature, so we can watch content from major streaming services such as Netflix, HBO, or Amazon's own Prime Video.

Send multimedia content Further to the above operations, we can also send content such as photos, videos, or music to our TV screen in a very simple way. All you need to do is to find the sharing icon to determine whether the application you are using supports sending content. Once you find it, just click on it and select the Fire TV that you must have activated on the TV. This can be done with Android and iOS devices. Some applications compatible with this purpose are Prime Video, HBO, Netflix, YouTube.

Web surfing As we can do with smart TVs, we can install apps on this stick. Among them, we can download a browser and then surf the Internet like from a mobile phone or computer.

Share our computer screen

We can also share the screen with the display function of the rest of the devices (Android or iOS) to display a large amount of content. It is recommended to install the AirScreen application.

Remote control via your smartphone

This function allows you to use the phone as a remote control.

Play big

As you may have noticed, we find games for the big screen in this gadget app store.

Connect Bluetooth devices

We have the option of connecting different devices to the stick via Bluetooth. We just need to go to the device settings and enter the option "Controls and Bluetooth devices". Here we can add a game console to comfortably play with our fire, TV, or even connect a Bluetooth headset so as not to disturb anyone while enjoying a movie or a series.

Manage Fire TV Stick using voice commands

Another of the best features that we can give to this equipment is its operation by voice commands. Pressing on the microphone button that we enter in your remote control, we can talk to Alexa, Amazon's intelligent assistant.

Turn on or turn off the TV

Thanks to Alexa, we can manage the on or off of the TV with our voice.

Now that you know many of the things you can do with your Amazon Fire TV Stick, it's time to make the most of it in your day-to-day life.
