Since Amazon has blocked every program from loading, is there anything we can do? This is ridiculous. Evidently they’re more interested in the high cable bills.
Can you be more specific? In my experience Amazon doesnt run well through a VPN, but they really havent blocked anything except Launchers. Please use a search before creating a whole new thread.

I’ve not had any issues with FireTV devices. The tv’s can be a tad difficult to find how to turn on developer options, but it can be done. Just something new to learn really. No issues using any VPN that I’ve noticed so far.

Amazon has not blocked everything, dont spread misinformation. You can still side load, if you use a vpn you need to bypass all amazon services with your vpn, only use the vpn for unverified sources. They blocked customization of your remote and device.
More than likely you were having problems with Downloader working yesterday. Their server was down so Downloader codes were not working. See the following article.

I have the Pioneer 50" 4K UHD HDR LED Smart TV (PN50951-22C) - Fire TV Edition - 2021. No problems getting into Developer options.

I use my VPN and I don’t have any problem at all.

And you shouldn’t. I won’t connect to the net without an active VPN.

I’ve tried it both ways with Surfshark – vpn for unverified sources only (tunneling everything else), and vpn for everything except tunneling Netflix and Prime. And I can’t tell any difference. Might be different for Amazon since I’m using android tv.

They both work the same. I prefer safety regardless of an app being verified or not, as I personally don’t want my identity stolen. So VPN for everything and whether FireTV or Android my VPN has worked on everything, thank god.

Same as GoogleTV, you need an account. FireTV is no different.

Hello to all. Is anyone out there getting the same message that I’m getting on their Cinema app? It states: “Your device has been identified as using or providing access to unlicensed content, including this app, and will be disabled. To remove this app now, select “Uninstall” now.” A couple of my firesticks have this message when I open up the app, but on one of my other firesticks, that message doesn’t show up. Any suggestions? Uninstall and reinstall possibly? Thanks for your time.
Some of the older firestick are OK but most will not run Cinema. Reinstall no longer works. You can try the new App Cloner from Troypoint Toolbox. Best fix is at Walmart…ONN Plus or ONN Pro will fix your problems!

Thanks for the reply. All of my firesticks are 4K. I’ll try out the cloner from the toolbox.

I received same thing notice that I turned off files permissions. And was able to use cinema and film Plus I always turn off file permissions to every app I use when I shut down my system but I’ve had enough with the fire stick I moved on to the onn Pro I should have done it a long time ago.
