Amazon's Fire TV Stick is a simple gadget that has vastly improved over the years. With apps for major sports leagues, TV providers and nearly every streaming service, it's an excellent tool for your home and travel.

Better yet, the Fire TV Stick Lite, Stick, Stick 4K, and Stick 4K Max are all discounted on Amazon right now.

How It Works

With any of these Fire TV Stick options, the process to use it is simple. Simply unbox, plug the stick into an HDMI port on your TV, give it power through the included cable and brick, and then turn on the unit. It will automatically be linked to your Amazon account, and you'll connect it to Wi-Fi. Once all set up, you're off to the races.

You can use a sports league-specific app or a cord-cutting TV service like FuboTV. You can also call upon Amazon's virtual assistant, Alexa, to navigate the interface, pull up content and ask questions. For example, you can ask, "How did the Yankees do?", get the latest news on the NBA playoffs or even ask for details on the NFL draft.

The Fire TV Stick — non-4K, 4K, or Max — is a great streaming device and one to tackle general questions via Alexa. Amazon also routinely issues over-the-air updates to the Fire TV Sticks to add new features.

All of the sticks are pretty small, making them especially portable for travel. You can plug it in, get it connected to Wi-Fi and start streaming away.

Not to mention, Mother's Day is coming in fast-and Father's Day is just around the corner-so a Fire TV Stick could make an excellent gift.
