Here's how to use the mega-popular Fire TV Stick 4K: Simply plug it into one of your 4K TV’s HDMI ports and the streaming device will immediately search for your home’s Wi-Fi network and wait for you to log in. (If your TV is less than 10 years old, it's probably a 4K model. The term "4K" just refers to the resolution of the screen.)

You’ll find fun interactive settings like pop-up results for actor and director names via IMDb.
