1) Set up Amazon Fire TV Stick
Plug in FireStick and connect to Power. When connecting power it's temping to use the USB of the TV to power the Fire TV for convenience, but Fire TV consume a lot more power than TV's USB can supply, so it always best to use the power adapter and cable come with the Fire TV.

Fire TV Search could be tricky to use, and search as you type sometimes does not work properly.

Click Download on the AeriCast Receiver app icon
Click the AeriCast Receiver app and download it.
