    If buffering ticks you off, the 4K version will make you furious. It will buffer even more as there is more data to exchange between the FireTV stick and the router/wireless. The problem is with the bandwidth of your router/wireless network and the speed at which it delivers data to the stick. I have the occasional problem with mine doing the same thing, but upgrading my wireless network at home made the problem go away. I dunno, YMMV, but it might help.

    FireTV Stick

    Does anyone have or use the Amazon Firetv Stick? The one I have is about 2 years old and I have a VPN for using the amazons internet. When I am watch tv shows (on the internet), I get a lot of buffering. This really ticks me off. I try to keep any applications I am not using turned off on the stick. This may or may not help. Any suggestion? Would it be worth the cost to get the 4k version of the Firetv Stick? Thanks

    FireTV Stick

    Absolutely -- as you can install all sorts of sideloaded apps e.g VPN's etc. I installed KODI on it -- brilliant as I don't then need a server to play multi media files from a remote computer -- For around 30 EUR this device can also turn any TV into a decent smart TV. Note though the latest versions need decent Wifi - don't need to mess around with the older boxes that had LAN possibilities - although there are adapters available. Cheers jimbo
