If you’re like most people, you probably use your TV to watch your favorite shows and movies. But what if you want to watch those shows and movies from the comfort of your own home? You can do that by setting up an Amazon Firestick remote with your TV. To set up your Amazon Firestick remote with your TV, first make sure that both devices are connected to the same network. Then, open the Amazon Firestick app on your phone and select “Settings.” Under “Remote,” select “Add a Remote.” If you have an Amazon Echo or other Alexa-enabled device, you can also add the device as a remote. Next, enter the IP address of your TV in the “Address” field. You can find this information by going to Settings on your TV and looking for “Network & Sharing.” Under “Device Management,” find “FireTV” and click it. The IP address should be listed under “IPv4 Address.” In the “Port” field, enter 8118. Finally, enter the username and password for your TV in the fields below. Make sure that these values are correct—you won’t be able to access your content if they’re not! Click OK to add the remote. Now when you want to watch something on your TV, just open the Amazon Firestick app on your phone and select “Playlists” or search for a specific movie or show title. Then, select the playlist that contains the show or movie that you want to watch and press play! ..
Connect a Fire TV Remote to Your TV’s Volume Control
Before you can use your Fire TV Stick remote to manage your TV’s volume, you’ll have to configure the TV management option, as follows.
From your Fire TV Stick’s home screen, choose the Settings (gear) icon at the top.
In the settings menu that opens, select “Equipment Control.”
Choose “Manage Equipment.”
Select “TV” as you’re configuring your remote for a television.
Choose “Change TV.”
In the prompt, select “Change TV.”
Your Fire TV Stick will try to determine your TV’s make. If the displayed name is correct, select “Yes.” Otherwise, choose “No.”
We’ll go for “No.”
If you choose “No,” you’ll see various TV manufacturers on your screen. Here, pick your TV’s manufacturer.
You’ll now see a message asking you to press the Power button on your Fire TV Stick remote. Press the button and see if your TV turns off.
If it does, then wait for 10 seconds and press the same Power button to turn the TV back on.
Fire TV Stick will now ask if pressing the Power button switched off your TV. If it did, select “Yes.” Otherwise, choose “No.”
In nearly all cases, the TV turns off when you press the Power button. If it doesn’t, you may want to try a different remote or consider upgrading your TV.
We’ll select “Yes.”
Your Fire TV Stick will now start updating your remote so it works with your TV. When this is done, in the open prompt, select “OK.”
You can now control your TV’s volume using the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons on your Fire TV Stick’s remote. You can also use the remote’s Power button to turn the TV off and back on.
