Thanks you guys. That’s why I’m adamant about a Netflix Certified device on each tv she watches. Myself…don’t watch it so that’s why my X5 is behind the KM2. I can turn it on when she goes to bed and enjoys our Shield Pro

Watching sports on a fire stick was like looking at a series of still photos. The shield fixed all that.

I have both, 2 NVIDIA Shields and just a plain Fire stick in the kitchen,
the plain fire stick is pretty slow and not as user friendly,
if you want a NVIDIA shield get the one with more memory,
that works best for me, I first bought an NVIDIA shield with a San disk slot but that one is slower, but still faster then the Fire-stick,
I think Miki is the expert on the fire stick,
Hope this helps,

I remedy’d my x5…errrr I think. My x5 has 128gb storage but right out of the box with nothing but buzz installs and me xplore its out of storage??? I went in to settings and force closed any apps that I didnt use and un-installed those I could(must be careful here and not get rid of something youre not sure of)…I added a 32gb external and made it internal just for kicks. Now I seem to be able and do more than before. I have freed up resources as well because many of these apps eat ram in the background even if not in use. The buzz still suffers from limitations tho and most of these issues are from buzz tech not knowing their way around android 11… hopefully they get there. My shield with more toys is still way more versatile and enjoyable…I know bad comparison…but it is moving now on a few flat tires :crazy_face:

Thanks for the shout out. I’m not really an expert, just a dedicated Firestick user for several years. However if I don’t have an answer for anyone’s question I will do everything within my power to find an answer.

The secret with external memory is speed/quality of the stick etc.
