So we got the fire stick. Easy set up so far. We already have HBO now and Netflix accounts. Not purchased thru amazon, but independently of course because we have had them for awhile. It can't sync to it, because it's not been purchased thru amazon. How do we log in to these accounts on the fire stick, without deactivating the amazon portion of it?

I have Netflix and use it with my fire stick. I just log into NetFlix with my email and password. What happens when you click on the Netflix logo???

Not sure on the HBO thing, but we bought the Fire Stick at Target and already had a Netflix account. We just logged onto it when we set it up, worked fine.

I have had problems with Netflix on two different televisions using the Firestick. I contacted Netflix who tried to tell me that my wi-fi wasn't strong enough, but I have no problem with Hulu, Amazon and Acorn so it's not the wi-fi.

I use HBO separately. I had to download HBO now not HBO Go.

I never could get HBO Now to work on my Firestick and neither Amazon or HBO was any help at all. I gave up, deleted the app, and subscribed through my cable company and use HBO Go instead.
Good luck! Everything else on my Firestick was super easy.

I had problems with my Panasonic big screen TV. I could put it in the HDMI slot but nothing happened. Called Amazon and they couldn't figure it out so I just put it on the TV in the bedroom instead.
Good luck. I hope you figure yours out.

Everything else on my Firestick was super easy. UGh. that is what I am thinking. I did an online chat with 2 dudes, and they were no help. Let alone understand the question even. I asked them several times. Do you have someone that just knows fire stick questions, and they never would answer that. The answers they gave me were scripted online google ones I had already seen. My dh is watching right now thru free trial of HBO now. It seems silly when we already have an account, but can't log on to it. But no one seems to understand that. |

Hmmm, we just subscribed to HBO through Amazon. I'm not sure if that's "Now" or "Go." But it works. It's an Amazon channel. We also get Starz that way when it's time for Outlander. (And that reminds me, I need to cancel the HBO now that GoT is over.)
