Instead, you must control the Fire TV with Amazon’s proprietary remote. Thus, universal remotes which use IR won’t work with the Fire TV. This is because none of the Fire TV products including the original Fire TV Box, Stick, Pendant, and Cube do not have a built-in infra red (IR) receiver like most consumer electronic A/V devices.
There are many sources suggesting that you cannot use a universal remote with Amazon Fire TV line of streamers. Took me about 20 minutes and I had to do it twice because I did it wrong the first time.How to Use a Universal Remote with Amazon Fire TV (including Cube, Stick and Pendant) My hands were shaking when I rooted my Nook. The Cyanogenmod community is pretty rock solid. I just thought it was too expensive for what it was. Sure you could buy a Nexus 7 if you want to spend 3 times as much as a Nook. I prefer the hard buttons of an actual remote that I can work by feel other than having to look at my tablet or phone. My old rooted Nook Color would only last a couple of days, the HD+ will last me a couple of weeks on a single charge.Īs far as the remote control apps, I honestly don't use them. If that's your thing then I'm sure it's more than worth the money. There's definitely a price to be paid for simplicity. Took me about 20 minutes and I had to do it twice because I did it wrong the first time. But, another world who are perfectly fine with Android and Kindle Fire products as well.Ĭlick to expand.Sure you could buy a Nexus 7 if you want to spend 3 times as much as a Nook. well, there is a world of people who are thrilled with doing that. But, if you actually just want to use it. Depends on your use though, if you want to hack it, tweak it, do weird things with it, then Apple certainly isn't a good choice. Don't really care about locked down anything since I want to use the device, not program it. Not sure when I had to do a mandatory update, but I do typically update things every month or two. I use a control system that gives me one interface for everything, which works well, and I still have all the apps for all my gear. I mean, darien - Do you have one integrated remote interface that controls all that gear, or do you have a separate app for every device on your system that you have to switch between? I do like my iPhone, but I don't ask it to do much, and I think remotes on a tablet for any A/V control tend to be silly. Or you just buy a good Android tablet from the start and don't deal with the hacks and backdoors and such.
