    Default DLM PPV's with Fire Stick?

    Anybody have any experience with this? Saw some YouTube videos on how to get UFC and Boxing stuff and automatically thought about the DLM PPV's.

    Thanks in advance!

    Thank you Sir. All I know is this Fire Stick deal is WAY out of my league at the moment. We're learning though. The sheer amount of content is just amazing. I've just touched the tip of the iceberg with my pinky toe.....

    Download "Silk Browser", and log in to DoD on that. I used that for the Gateway PPV and it worked.

    It did buffer, but I was at a friend's place using his Fire Stick and his internet was pretty sketchy. I haven't tried it at my place on my FireTV box yet. I might try Arizona just to make sure it was his connection and not some compatibility issue.

    I think the processor in the firetv is considerably faster than the fire stick. Ppv should play better on your device and his finiky internet surely wouldn't help. Thanks for the browser tip, I'd seen you mention it on the other thread and tried it out myself. There is also a Firefox browser. I hope there is an update for silk that fixes to where you can scroll down the DoD video page.

    I've used the silk browser on my firestick and it worked ok buffered here and there but watchable. I have a very fast internet here tho and also if you have lucas oil tv there is a app for it and it played all live events great for me after the winter nationals but that was a Lucas oil Tv problem getting the bugs worked out.

    You can get around that by going to the Catchall page. It is a little inconvenient, but it works.

    If you have a smartphone, download video & tv cast for firestick on your phone and firestick. Go to DoD or whatever site you want to watch and start playing it on your phone then you can transfer it to the firestick. I’ve been watching the races like that for a year or so now and have never had much trouble
