Amazon Fire TV Stick
The world's most popular streaming stick. Now a professional-grade digital signage player.
Why it works.
Amazon Fire TV Stick turns any commercial display with an HDMI port into a managed digital signage screen. At £35–£55, it's the most cost-effective way to put Hangar.Media on any screen, anywhere — no professional AV installation, no dedicated media PC, no IT team required.
The platform runs inside the Fire TV's Silk Browser, using service workers and IndexedDB for offline-first content caching. Updates arrive silently in the background. Screens keep playing even when the internet drops, then sync the moment connectivity returns.
Live in five minutes.
Four steps from HDMI port to live content — no engineers needed.
Plug in and power up
Connect Fire TV Stick to any HDMI port. Use the wall adapter — not the TV's USB port, which often supplies insufficient voltage.
Open Silk Browser
From the Fire TV home screen, navigate to Apps → Silk Browser. Not there? Search the Amazon Appstore — it's free and takes 60 seconds to install.
Navigate to your display
In Silk Browser, go to app.hangar.media. Sign in with your Hangar.Media credentials and select your screen from the dashboard.
Enable auto-launch
Bookmark your display URL as a home screen shortcut. For fully managed deployments, use Fully Kiosk Browser or an MDM policy to auto-launch on every boot.
Full platform support, out of the box.
