BAFTA View for the Fire TV Stick

What is a Fire TV Stick, and how to get one

The Amazon Fire TV Stick is a small streaming device that plugs into your TV’s HDMI port. We developed the BAFTA View app specifically for Fire TV Stick to give you the best big-screen viewing experience.

You can buy a Fire TV Stick online from Amazon, or in-store at places like Argos and Currys. Always check the list of supported models before purchasing. 

Supported models

For the best experience, make sure you get you get your hands on one of the supported models below:

  • Fire TV Stick 4K Max – 2nd Gen (2023) – 16 GB – AFTKRT 
  • Fire TV Stick 4K – 2nd Gen (2023) – 8 GB – AFTKM 
  • Fire TV Stick 4K Max – 1st Gen (2021) – AFTKA 
  • Fire TV Stick 4K – 1st Gen (2018) – AFTMM  

Fire TV Stick (3rd gen and earlier), Fire TV Stick Lite, Fire TV Cube, and Amazon Fire TV are currently unsupported.  

You might still be able to access BAFTA View with one of these, but you’re more likely to run into problems when using the app.
