hello, Can you also change your input from HDMI 1 to HDMI2? and on fire TV can you tell Alexa to move to Netflix or prime video or any other app? For a person like me who is losing the use of my hands.
Caroline, Did you do a video on actually connecting the Fire Stick remote to the Echo Dot?? I have a second gen remote and my Echo dot won't pair to my Fire Stick. Thanks
It wont open Tv Tapp app with voice command or Terrarium probably with voice command.Also FoxNow app didnt work for my local channel 5 fox affiliate here in New York city for some reason.There are limitations!
great video thanks. but can you ask to play a show and state the season and episode number you want to watch?? google home doesn't support this (yet, it says) so I was wondering if Alexa does support this??
Very informative. I was looking for videos on how to use Alexa with a Fire Stick as we are considering getting the Fire Stick for my father who cannot see well to use remote controls. But he also does not have a smart phone so if that is needed to use Alexa to control the TV, this will not help him. Also, he does not have Amazon Prime. He does not have cable TV so we thought the Fire Stick’s free channels and content would offer more choice to him, but not if he needs a smartphone.
Very helpful. I already have Prime and plan to get the Fire TV stick with Alexa voice remote and an Echo Dot. I have the original generation Chromecast and it is a pain to use.
You do a great job. I like to believe I’m some what knowledgeable until I try doing something. Then I’m as dumb as a rock. I’ll keep watching to try figure out what I’m missing.
Watchng your video I turned on my echo and I was watching you on you tube on the fire stick...so when you said alexa this alexa that the tv started to obey your voice so I didn't have to do a thing ..... thanks....great when you can't find the remote!!!
You have to download and install the fire tv app from the playstore. then you go into your Alexa app look under settings/music, video & books, choose TV & Video and then you will be able to pair alex echo dot with fire tv. Just make sure you are on fire tv to see the code.
Caroline here is my situation. I can’t afford a dance phone plan so that means my phone makes and revives calls only. I did manage to buy an IPad were I do everything. I wish one of you folks would show us older folks how to do this stuff with a IPad thanks for your time.
