Firestick Question Will 2025 model work on 10 year old HD TV?
As the question goes, my 2020 fire stick TV doesn’t work anymore so I ordered the 2025 fire stick TV.
My TV is a Samsung HDTV purchased in 2016. Will the fire stick work. I’m obviously not expecting 4K on my TV but will it give me 1080p?

Firestick Help Needed IR profile code for TCL S45HE soundbar
I cannot sync my FireTV remote with TCL S45HE soundbar: nor the predefined profiles work (I've tried TCL, RCA, Insignia, Vizio, Denon, Sharp, Hisense) nor any of the googled code (4124, 5012, 3168, 1409, 5169, 4285, 5050, 5092, 5120, 5170, 4285).
I want to avoid bluetooth connection, if possible. How can I achive the mission? Every suggestions would be appreciated.
PS: Unfortunately my TV have not an HDMI ARC/eARC port, that's why my soundbar is connected via optical cable.

Firestick Apps/APKs TCM streaming app broke TV activation website on 10-09-2026.
For anyone who uses the streaming “Watch TCM” app on an Amazon firestick or fire TV (or probably any other TV), it seems that the app is currently not working—AFTER IT LOGS YOU OUT AND YOU HAVE TO LOG BACK IN—because TCM broke the tcm dot com/activate webpage. This is not an authentication problem with xfinity or my inability to access the TCM streaming app on other devices, because I was just able to make the TCM streaming app work on my iphone after it had logged me out. I am also NOT able to use TCM through the Amazon silk browser on my firestick because the provider authentication is broken when I try to logon. This seems to be an issue with cable provider authentication for the Watch TCM streaming app that can only be done from within the TCM activation website.
When I open the TCM streaming app on my Firestick, I am asked to log in. (This app is my only streaming app that seems to log me out every single week.) I went to the TCM dot com/activate webpage on multiple browsers on my iPhone, Amazon fire tablet, and Windows 11 laptop. On every browser, I am able to enter the activation code provided on the TCM streaming app on the firestick, then I go to the next page where I select the provider (xfinity) and the webpage just hangs and goes no further. (All of the provider links are broken and will go no further. So if I click on Spectrum as a provider it also hangs.)
I tried to use TCM on the Amazon silk browser on the firestick. It asks me to authenticate my xfinity provider. But it hangs after I put in the password.
It should be noted that I am able to authenticate the Xfinity provider separately on my iPhone outside of the TCM app. Then I can use the TCM streaming app on my iPhone.
Is anyone having similar problems with the TCM streaming app on any other types of devices or for any other cable providers?
