THE new Amazon Fire Stick about to hit the UK market will be missing a free TV perk exclusive to the US.
Brits may be disappointed to learn that two new Fire Tv Stick models, setting users back £69.99, will not have the same benefits as those over seas.

Lucky users in the States will be offered six months of MGM+, a streaming service with the latest blockbuster hits, with no extra cost when they buy the Fire TV Stick 4K or Fire TV Stick 4K Max.
The popular platform is usually priced at $5.99 a month, meaning the new Fire Stick owners will be pocketing a savings of more than $30.
Unfortunately, the Disney+ competitor hasn’t launched in the UK yet.
If Brits want to get their hands on the impressive deal, they would have to buy their Fire Stick in the US.
But, it’s not all bad for customers, as the new versions will provide faster streaming with Wi-Fi 6 technology.
The Fire TV Stick 4K and Fire TV Stick 4K Max also offer Dolby Atmos audio and Dolby Vision.
Prices start from £59.99 and will be coming to the UK next month.
Emma Gilmartin, Director of Fire TV and Fire Tablets Europe, told the Mirror: “Our mission at Fire TV is to reinvent what customers can expect from a smart TV experience. That’s why the Fire TV Ambient Experience has resonated with so many customers — it’s made their TVs smarter, more useful, and added creativity and beauty to their homes.

“Today, we’re thrilled to bring the Ambient Experience to more customers in the United Kingdom with the new Fire TV Stick 4K Max, the industry’s first streaming stick to include support for Wi-Fi 6E.
“We’re also excited to deliver Fire TV’s best-ever 4K experience for under £60 with the new Fire TV Stick 4K.”
This comes as Fire Stick owners are just realising there are three little-known apps with hundreds of free TV shows.
Plus, there is now a clever ‘routine’ perk that instantly boosts their device.
And, users have been warned over common household objects you must never put Fire Sticks near for safety reasons.
