Amazon has made it increasingly difficult to sideload and install third-party apps on Firestick devices. Because of these new restrictions, many users are looking for better and more open options.
Thanks for the post on alternatives Fire TV devices like the Nvidia Shield TV.
I never bought a Fire Stick TV because I mainly use my Desktop PCs, laptops, Android tablets and Smart TV to watch offline video files and online streaming videos on a bigger screen.
The Fire TV app store has fewer apps and games for Fire TV than Android and PC OS like Windows which made me not want a Fire TV.
The built-in YouTube and Netflix App on my Blu-ray player, Cable Box from my Cable TV service provider and Smart Roku TV are good enough for my video viewing needs, so I don't need a Fire TV.
