Death of the Firesticks.

Amazon are no longer making android OS sticks .

They introduced Vera OS last year with Select version of the stick.
But now theyre removing all Android OS from their product lines.
So if youre going to buy yourself a stick for the intention of side loading apps...
Do not buy any of the "Newest Gen" firesticks.

Amazon are moving away from Android software completely now and 99% of sticks being sold have Vera software which does not allow for Sideloading apps.

They still sell some older androids under a refurbed banner... these will work providing theyre nothing advanced of 2nd Gens or prior to 2026.

Alternatively Android boxes are looking likely to be the future of IPTV

JJ how does the box work in relation to how stick works?

So, if you already have a stick, you will be fine until the stick dies of natural causes
But in regards to a box, pretty much same methods.

Log in via Google account ?Instead of amazon.
Connect to internet.
Download (Aftvnews) Downloader from google playstore.
Then settings> About> Press Enter 7 times (unlocks developer options)
Turn on ADB Debugging / Allow apps from unknown sources..
Use downloader codes from your provider

Thanks was just curious... got couple of sticks so OK for awhile

I don’t use a firestick as I just have the club subscription and “move” to France each game.

But

Why does it have to be a firestick? It’s just an android app. Get a cheap android tablet and a usbc to hdmi dongle.

I thought the club subscription was only for those outside the uk and was only for 3 pm home games ?

It's for all league games & league cup games with the exception of any game being the main Sky showing. Or it is for me in the USA.

Although this guy did say he "moves" to France when he watches so I presume he has a VPN that he uses.

yep VPN. Helpfully the club announced Nord VPN as a partner when they advertised the package deals a season or so ago! ill take that to mean the club dont care if you stream through a VPN and are just happy to have you pay for the games

As there is a Prime sale...Will "the software" work on a fire table 8?

Vpn is only way to watch game on city TV in uk... even then must turn vpn on before you register otherwise it tends to pick up your in UK when go to watch game... unless of course they've changed things past couple seasons? A fire stick cheaper around half the price of city TV

Prime sales doing last of stock of 2nd and 3rd gen sticks...
bout £25... Has to be Fire OS... (Android)

It always amazes me the large companies that promote the use of VPN's for safety when they are basically used to move your location or hide yourself from your service provider to watch football, movies and the like.

I know they have their uses but for Cardiff to have Nord as a partner is hysterical or is it clever, they get the subscription money and don't care if the Subscriber is in the UK
