Which Fire TV Stick should I buy?

We recommend the Fire TV Stick 4K or 4K Max for best performance. The Lite works for simple content, but HD models quickly run into memory and CPU limits with multiple zones, video, or frequent transitions. For 24/7 use, go with the 4K Max.

Does it auto-start after a power outage?

Yes. The Fire TV Stick boots automatically when power is restored, and Screenbird resumes playback.

Can I hide the Fire TV home screen?

Yes. Screenbird can be set to launch automatically on boot, so you never see the Fire TV interface.
