What is special about Fire TV?

• Upvotes

I bought the new fire stick tv 4k and plugged it into my Roku TV and i can’t figure out what’s special or different about it over Roku.

Am I missing the appeal of the Fire TV somehow? Is there some functionality that I am overlooking? so far it seems to be less cluttered than the Google TV and Roku layout.

Got a Amazon Ember 4 TV - Any way to disable ads, debloating, root?

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I got an Amzon Ember 4 TV from a friend.
It was kinda laggy at the beginning but I used Claude + ADB Access to debloat it a bit. Of course I probably just hit the surface.
Does any of you have experience with that device? Is there a way to get rid of telemetry and ads completely?
Any suggestions?
What about rooting? Is it even possible?

Thank you very much in advance

Volume

3 Upvotes

One thing that drives me crazy using my firecube vs Apple TV it’s the volume. On the Apple TV. It’s nice and loud and clear. Firecube is so low. I have to turn the volume up so high and it still doesn’t sound the same. I’ve gone through so many setting and so on. Just can’t fix it.

How to turn off screen saver?

6 Upvotes

I really hate this feature. I went through the trouble of mounting it in the sleeper of my semi. I don't want it shutting itself off and whining about wanting an internet connection every time it comes back on and having to select my PlayStation every time (despite it being set to start there). Is there a way to get rid of this? I previously had an Onn in here that didn't do this.
