Fire TV Stick
A Fire TV Stick is a low-cost Amazon device that plugs directly into an HDMI input, turning your TV or monitor into a Smart TV and allowing you to download the Sippo TV app. By using the Sippo TV app you'll benefit from offline support, auto-refresh, always-on, and more.
We've provided links to the US Amazon product listings below purely for your convenience. If you're located outside of the US, we encourage you to search your local Amazon site to find the same product(s) available for purchase.
While there are multiple variants of Fire TV Sticks available, each with varying features and prices, we recommend the baseline Fire TV Stick due to its wide availability, good performance, and low cost with prices typically around $30.
The Sippo TV app is fully compatible with all editions of the Fire TV Stick, including:
