Netflix is a streaming service from the U.S. that operates in 190 countries worldwide. With a subscription, members can enjoy a wide range of movies, TV shows, and original content on devices like smartphones and TVs anytime and anywhere.
While smartphones offer great video quality and make it easy to enjoy Netflix on the go, watching on a small screen can be inconvenient when you're with family or friends. In such cases, it's better to watch on a big screen TV.
The popular way to watch Netflix on your TV is by using Amazon's Fire TV Stick. In this article, we'll explain how to easily watch Netflix on your TV using the Fire TV Stick. At the end of the article, we'll also share how you can create your own collection of favorite Netflix videos.

Part 1: What Is Fire TV Stick?
A Fire TV Stick is a plug-in device that makes it easy to watch movies and shows on your TV's big screen just by connecting to Wi-Fi. You can insert it into a TV with an HDMI terminal and operate it with a dedicated remote control. It is easy to carry around because it only requires a small remote control of about 14 cm. As long as you have Wi-Fi, you can enjoy video content on a TV screen even while traveling or on business trips.

Part 3: What to Do When Netflix Doesn't Work on Fire TV Stick?
How to fix when Netflix is not working on a Fire TV Stick? This part provides 3 practical solutions.
Restart Your Device and Home Network
Turn off the device and unplug the power cable from the outlet. After a while, turn the device back on and try Netflix again. This might resolve the issue. If needed, turn off the device, unplug the power cords of the modem and router from the outlet simultaneously. After a few minutes, plug the modem and router power cords back into the outlet and turn the device back on. Then, try using Netflix service again.
Clear Cache on Fire TV Stick
Since Fire TV Stick has limited built-in storage capacity, frequent viewing of video content can lead to memory shortage. To resolve this, clear the app's data and cache. Here are the steps:
Navigate to Fire TV settings > Select Applications > Manage Installed Applications > Choose the problematic app > Select Clear Cache > Clear Data.
Check the Number of Devices Streaming Simultaneously
Netflix offers three pricing plans, each allowing a different number of devices to stream simultaneously. Therefore, check your subscription plan and make sure not to exceed the number of devices that can stream simultaneously. If exceeded, simply log out of your Netflix account on other devices.
Netflix Pricing Plans and Simultaneous Streaming Devices:
- Basic: Stream on up to 2 compatible devices simultaneously.
- Standard: Stream on up to 2 compatible devices simultaneously.
- Premium: Stream on up to 4 compatible devices simultaneously.
