Want to give your Fire TV Stick a boost without spending a fortune? Now could be a good time to go online shopping with Amazon continuing to run its massive Black Friday sale for the next few days. All of the best new Fire TV Sticks have been slashed in price -including the top-rated Max – but if you already own one of these streamers, there’s a neat way to give it a shiny Sky TV-style makeover.
The smart Alexa Voice Remote Pro is currently at its lowest price with this channel changer now just £22.99 (saving £12). This accessory brings a number of features to living rooms with some – such as an inbuilt alarm – only previously found on more premium Sky TV boxes such as Sky Q and Sky Glass.

That remote finder technology means Fire TV Stick users can simply shout, “Alexa, find my remote” and a loud bleep will start ringing out so they can track it down if it’s fallen behind their sofa. Another neat upgrade that Sky now includes on its remote controls are backlit keys which glow when the lights get low.
That’s something else you’ll find on the Remote Pro with all the buttons lighting up at night.
Other bonus extras you’ll get if you invest are two customisable buttons which can be adapted to suit your needs. That means one press can launch apps, channels or favourite Alexa commands.
If you like listening via headphones, there’s also a fast pair button, which makes it much easier to connect up your cans. Of course, there are also all the usual Fire features like an Alexa voice button, Netflix and Prime Video buttons, volume controls and mute.
Amazon says it is Compatible with most Fire TV streaming media players and Smart TVs with Fire TV built in.
The only device that it definitely does not work with is the Fire TV Stick (1st generation).
Don’t forget, if you do need a new Fire TV Stick as well as that remote, there are loads of offers for Black Friday including the Fire TV Stick 4K Max for £44.99 – that’s £25 off.
If you’d rather go more premium and switch the Sky, the firm is currently offering its Stream box for just £19. That low price even includes full Netflix access and over 100 channels such as Sky Atlantic, Sky Documentaries and Sky Max.
