More often than not, smart TV users use programs such as YouTube, Netflix, Hulu and others. For owners of TVs that don’t have smart TV function, the market offers Amazon Fire TV stick. Which turns your TV into a smart TV. However, new TV stick users may have questions about how to change the time on the Amazon Fire TV stick.

What to do to change the time on the Amazon Fire TV stick

Amazon Fire TV Stick is a tiny device that plugs into one of your TV’s HDMI ports and turns it into a Smart TV. This gadget has the appearance of a large flash drive. Once you plug it into the HDMI port, your TV will give you access to a variety of video services like Netflix, YouTube, Amazon Prime, and more. This mini device works so that the broadcasting of movies, programs, shows, TV shows, games and music occurs via WiFi.

TV Stick is controlled by a Bluetooth remote control, which can be operated using both the buttons and voice commands. The Amazon Fire TV stick is so popular today because of its price. The price of Amazon Fire TV stick is up to 50 dollars, which is very profitable. In fact, an ordinary TV for 50 bucks turns into a smart TV, if you buy the latest updated version of the Fire TV stick. If you want to save more money you can buy the previous version of the Amazon Fire TV stick.

If you consider the price, it’s also worth remembering that you have to pay another subscription streaming service where you’ll be watching movies, TV shows, etc. That is, a subscription to Netflix, for example, isn’t included in the price when you buy Amazon Fire TV stick, of course. If you consider the characteristics of Amazon Fire TV Stick, you should also pay attention to the fact that this device is quite powerful.

Also 802.11ac dual-band MIMO Wi-FI. Another significant advantage is the official Amazon Fire TV App, which allows you to turn your mobile device into a remote control.

What steps to take to change the time on the Amazon Fire TV stick

In fact, operating and using this Amazon Fire TV stick shouldn’t be too much trouble for its owner. However, there’re times when the need to change the time may arise. This can happen because there’s no such function about changing the time. Therefore, if you need to change the time on the Amazon Fire TV stick, follow these steps:

  • To do this you need to click on ‘Settings’ on the main page.
  • In the ‘Settings’ section select ‘Preferences’.
  • After that as the ‘Preferences’ window opens, you need to select ‘Time Zone’ from all the options.
  • The next step to change the time on the Amazon Fire TV stick is to select ‘Time Zone’ again in the next screen. This way you’ll confirm that you need to change the time zone. Instead of the second option, you can enable or disable the display of time in 24-hour format.
  • After these steps a window will open in which you’ll see all the current time zones of the world, you need to select the actual time zone.

These actions will change your time zone, as this is the only way to actually change the time. That is, the Fire TV system won’t allow you to set the time accurately. However, this won’t be a problem. Since there’re a large number of all possible time zones to choose from, you’ll be able to find your own. In case you want to set another time, one hour ahead or backward, you can do that too. The system isn’t tied to geolocation and you don’t need to confirm it.
