You might try the new Fire TV Stick 4K Max<br>

Faster CPUs and more memory will help. Also, using the
simplest,<br>
plainest, MythTV theme you can find (like MythCenter)
might help too.<br>

using a 5x1 HDMI 2.0 switch. It's not ideal due to remote

<p>I have noticed that the frontend is now no good on the F4K. This
is new for me it used to be fine. The change is I think at their
end.</p>
<p>I run v32 of mythfrontend with 1080p 50Hz so my experience may be
different to yours, playback on F4K is now subject to tearing
which it did not a few months ago.</p>
<p>Leanfront is still excellent.</p>
<p>I am expecting a FireTV stick Max this week will see what
happens.</p>
By the way getting issues (periodically hangs video - audio
continues) with Leanfront on a Firestick Lite which also used to
work but was always very slow so cannot be recommended.
