AMAZON TV FIRE STICK REPLACEMENT ALTERNATIVES.

Alternatives to the Amazon TV Fire Stick are now a settled matter, as Amazon has definitively announced that their popular Android-based device will be updated with a new operating system shortly.

The day it reaches the shores of America and the UK will indeed be a somber one.

Fire Sticks have often been blamed for everything related to sideloading, though this is not necessarily true. TV providers seem intent on removing these IPTV devices from the market.

Next in line might be Android TV boxes, although it seems too late to prevent their spread.

It’s like a runaway train that cannot be stopped anytime soon.

Amazon has made several statements about future updates.

The common thought is that the introduction of their new operating system will render the device obsolete.

Consequently, many will likely choose not to update their older Fire Stick devices for fear of bricking them.

Others might decide to switch to a standard Android TV Box sooner rather than later.

As for the best current replacements or alternatives to the Fire Stick, there are many contenders like the Mecool KD1, KD2, KD3, and KD5.

Also in the running are the DQ3, DQ6, and the newly released DQ10, which will be reviewed shortly on TV Box Reviews.

Additionally, there are the G96-type TV Sticks and various MI-S TV sticks available on Aliexpress.com.

Amazon stands to lose a significant portion of its market share in both TV sticks and subscribers.

The decision to move away from Android, which many find perplexing, could be detrimental to their survival.

Not to mention the multitude of generic Android TV boxes eager to attract former Fire Stick users.

Amazon’s corporate decision to abandon the Android OS grows more puzzling with each passing day.

For a cost-effective Fire Stick alternative, consider the Tanix TX68, available at half the price.
