Does this have Atmos on Netflix like the Cube 2? For whatever reason, Atmos was excluded on Netflix with the regular Stick 4K.
Yup, it supports Atmos in Netlfix. I just wrote about it here: https://www.aftvnews.com/dolby-atmos-surround-sound-audio-is-supported-in-netflix-on-the-fire-tv-stick-4k-max/
The old 4k stick started off with roughly 5.34G internal memory when it was first hooked up. How much internal memory does the new 4k max stick start off with roughly? Tia
Same 5.34GB available as the original Fire TV Stick 4K.
Well, at least we didn’t lose any. Thanks, and keep up the good work.
how much it cost
Does it have webcam/zoom support equal to the FireTV Cube 2? Thxs.
If you figure out how to get the eARC functionality working on FTV Max let us know. I saw some screens in my iPhone’s Alexa app about eARC when I was setting up the FTV Max but I can’t find those screens since.
Turning on FTV Max’s eARC functionality will allow the TV’s audio to be sent through its eARC port into FTV Max and on to your Alexa speakers.
I’m not sure if FTV Max’s eARC feature is good to go now or coming soon with an update, but I know I saw setup screens for it in my iPhone’s Alexa app.
I can’t seem to get the soap player app to show on my home screen
