DinJo Posted October 22, 2020 Report Share Posted October 22, 2020 I think fire stick 4k was one of first devices which started with 4k on hotstar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Boss Posted October 22, 2020 Report Share Posted October 22, 2020 Got 4K fire stick today. Hotstar 4K HDR content works fine. But prime content is weird. In the native app, only 4K works, HDR doesn't show up. If you download prime video app, HDR works but only full HD. What's happening?

The 4k FS is natively set to ALWAYS HDR rather than adaptive. Hence in HDR TVs, even the FS pages are in HDR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prime video app plays supported content in full hd hdr and same content via FS pages plays in 4K but without HDR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jigsaw Posted December 4, 2020 Report Share Posted December 4, 2020 Anyone using Apple TV what makes it better than say the fire tv 4K stick? massive price difference between the two I know. One thing I can think of is the ability to play Apple Arcade games but that’s meaningless to me. Have the iPhone and iPad for those. Are the apps better? Plex 4K HDR works fine?

DinJo Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 Plex 4k hdr works very well with fire stick 4k. Would not recommend Apple TV for these needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plex I can live without because = Infuse That connects to Plex on the PC and streams flawlessly. Would pay every single day if they allow. Love it to bits. Any other improvements on the PQ front? I don’t have a HT as such. Just a 2.1 soundbar. Edited December 5, 2020 by Jigsaw Typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DinJo Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 Don't really see much difference in PQ unless you looking very closely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jigsaw Posted December 22, 2020 Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 Signed up for a free trial of Lionsgate Play. The app is atrociously designed. No way to tell which tab you’re at unless you have eagle-eyes. Anyone using here? Feedback? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
