News in Streaming Firestick vs Android Tv Box
Update on Amazon Fire TV Products
There is a lot of chatter on the internet about Amazon starting to block third party apps on their devices. They are attempting to force you to purchace their subscriber services.
If Amazon continues doing this with third party streaming apps a lot of great third party apps will not be available on Amazon. eg. Firesticks.
Note: If you do not use a firestick and use an Android tv box, not google based, this should not happen to you and you shouldn't have issues.
Amazon has already block some movie streaming apps, Cinema HD and BTV, on their Firesticks. Android boxes don't block downloading of 3rd party apps. Moving to an Android TV box is something you might consider.
Amazon might re-assess this if they are worried about a major decline in sales, but by their current actions I dought they will.
Recently Google considered doing this with their Google android boxes and quickly reversed their decision, however they might change their mind again and start blocking streaming apps.
I am sending this notice out to you so you are aware of this potential issue with your Firestick, if you have one.
Have a nice day
