Thank you! Good job!
Waiting for breaking news ;)
i have one with bad remote can’t see 5ghz network not happy waiting to here from amazon
please tell me its not new hardware or its going back
Sometimes I also have to scan a few times to see my 5ghz network. The box def seems to prefer 2.4.
Re the FTVs halted sales, please don’t tell me they are tweaking the hardware? I have a couple of these, and wouldn’t be happy if I had to return them.
I too would be upset if this is a hardware upgrade/fix they are implementing from the supply chain. I bought my three devices from Staples, and it would not be easy to return (not to mention the deal I got on them would be void unless I can exchange them for the even newer fixed ones. If this is the case). Any news AFTVnews? Thanks for all that you do for the Fire TV community.
So let’s hypothetically say that it is a hardware fix, what would amazon do for the early adopters of the AFTV2?
Let’s hope it is hardware fix!
As I halted my decision to get one on first days…
Any news yet what there doing hardware /software
Not good to be an beta tester, er, I mean early adopter.
