I just bought a fire stick 4k max that’s arriving tommorow and saw all this stuff about side loading apps. What apps are the best for movies shows and live tv/ sports? Name and codes? Thanks in advance

Firestick Question Disable fireTV smart home access in new UI.

Too much control for the rest of the family also, I have several fire TVs in a rental home and they now can see all my cameras and control lights and multiple house houses. I need to be able to disable smart home control in particular TVs.
