This is a great forum and has been tremendously helpful for me.
I bought a Fire TV Stick from Best Buy. I had no problems installing XBMC, Llama, etc... I do have the 720p problems, but mostly I was SD level videos and I am fine with that. After about 3+ weeks, my Fire Stick started losing network connection. I could be on the Home screen and it would drop the network. I tried a different power adapter since that can be a common failing. That is not the problem. I went to the Amazon Discussions forum and it is not an uncommon problem. Amazon customer support were great and in a few minutes they shipped me out another one. Hopefully this unit will not have the same problems. I am not looking forward to spending all the time and trouble to get the new one installed and tweaked only to have it start having problems in a couple of weeks.
I am sharing this for informational purposes. This forum has been a great help for me. If you start experiencing the same problems, don't hesitate to contact Amazon and get a new one. They were very quick and courteous to me.
