We may sometimes change when and where brands and links are referenced on our website, including the order of entries in unranked lists. So what do our partnerships affect? Very little. Our partnerships exist to support our efforts to help our readers with free content. These partnerships never influence our reviews, rankings, or recommendations. We work with partners and may receive compensation through these partnerships. Nobody other than our editorial staff or advisory team have any influence over our reviews, rankings, or recommendations. When you read our reviews or check our top picks for cord-cutting products and services, you can trust that you're seeing the result of hours of testing and years of experience in the cord-cutting space. We make editorial decisions based on our expertise, first-hand experience, and informed opinions. We research options, new technology, share tips, review services, and more, at no cost to our readers. Our goal at is to help people save money on the TV they love and access it on-the-go. You can “access” Netflix through the Fire Stick (and Hulu and all the other subscription services), just like you can “access” Netflix and Amazon Prime through a Roku stick, but you need to sign in to those features first. That is why they are competing companies. Amazon also has movies that are free, that Netflix does not have. That movie was not free under Amazon, but was under Netflix. It sounds like you turned on the Fire Stick and went to the movie you wanted to watch (under Amazons selections), and did not go to the Netflix app first and turn on Netflix, and then look up that movie while in Netflix. All of the stuff you see when you fist turn on the Fire Stick, is the Amazon stuff (hence “Amazon” Fire Stick), and Amazon has some stuff that is free (if you pay for Amazon Prime, $99.00 a year) and some stuff that you need to pay for (just like the “pay on demand” with cable companies, for newer movies that you rent through “pay on demand”). You will need to do the same thing for any “non-Amazon” app you download, ie., Hulu, CBS All Access, or any subscription service (like Netflix) you download. You will need to open the Netflix app each time you want to watch Netflix on your Fire Stick (you don’t have to enter your account info anymore, just the first time). Then enter that Netflix app and watch Netflix. Program your Netflix account information into that app on the Fire Stick. You will need to download the Netflix app in the apps section (unless it is already downloaded under the “your apps” section). Your Fire Stick does not know you have Netflix until you tell it you have Netflix. So, you have Netflix, and you need to sign onto Netflix to use it. The Fire TV Stick makes a non-smart TV smart, and makes a smart TV smart in a different way.
