This 5-Star 43″ Amazon Fire TV Hits All-Time Low, Includes 4-Year Protection a Week Before 4th of July
Your entertainment center at home is your way to enjoy all your favorite movies and TV shows. Why not make it as extravagant as possible, as long as it fits within your budget? If that's something you're interested in, you can make it happen thanks to this fantastic deal, straight from Amazon. See at Amazon Head to Amazon now to get the 43-inch Amazon Fire TV for just $261, down from its usual price of $385. That's $124 off and a discount of 32%. This TV also comes with a 4-year protection plan, so you can feel good about having a contingency plan if something happens. This Fire TV supports 4K resolution with HDR10 for brighter colors, deeper blacks, and better contrast. You'll notice the difference whether you're deep into a late-night horror flick or simply watching reruns of your favorite sitcom. Plus, you get picture quality that's sharp and detailed, especially for a TV in this price range. Because it's part of Amazon's Fire TV ecosystem, you get immediate access to thousands of streaming apps like Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, YouTube, and more, all built in. The Fire TV Alexa Voice Remote lets you find content, switch inputs, and even control smart home devices just by speaking. If you're tired of endlessly scrolling, and who isn't at this point, voice search is a nice touch that actually works well. As previously mentioned, this deal also comes with the included 4-year extended protection plan. Electronics don't always last as long as we'd like, and this kind of coverage can make a huge difference if something goes wrong outside the manufacturer's default warranty. The plan covers both mechanical and electrical failures, and it kicks in after Amazon's limited 1-year warranty ends. That means you're covered through 2028, and there are no extra steps or registration required. This is a great V to bring home to add to your guest bedroom, dorm, office, or even as a secondary TV in your main living space. It's less than $300, which is a rarity when it comes to TVs of this size with the additional protection. It's not overflowing with high-end features, but what it does, it does well, and at a price that makes sense. If you're looking to stretch your dollars and take things further, you won't want to pass up on this deal. Not when the 4th of July is right around the corner. See at Amazon

Urgent warning to Amazon Fire Stick TV users before popular app stops working
Older Fire TV models will become incompatible with the Netflix app tomorrow. First-generation devices of Amazon's range, including the Fire TV, Fire TV stick and Fire TV stick with Alexa Voice Remote, will no longer be supported by Netflix. The first two products came out in 2014, while the third was released in 2016. Netflix previously emailed affected customers about the change, and users of the devices will have noticed some modern video formats don't work. More Trending This is because Amazon has not updated them for a while. Wake up to find news on your TV shows in your inbox every morning with Metro's TV Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your show in the link we'll send you so we can get TV news tailored to you. Netflix has not given a specific reason for ending support, but PCWorld reports it may be due to newer video coding formats allowing better-quality images. Affected users who want to upgrade have been encouraged to choose a newer model with 4k resolution support, as these will be supported the longest. Models from the second-generation onwards will still be supported for the foreseeable future, however.
