Fire tv Stick HD

Tried the fire stick 4k but doesn't work because its a in house operating system what I found out , can't side load so bought the new fire stick hd wifi 6 , thought what I've read I get Telus TV Plus but I was wrong again because Telus doesn't show up on app store , I get City TV , Bell fibre optic but no Telus . Can someone help or is there another stick other then Amazon I can get for my older tv

        The new Fire Stick you have doesn't run FireOS but instead uses VegaOS so that won't work. Supposedly these models support FireOS 6 or higher:

        Fire TV Stick 4K
        Fire TV Stick 4K Max
        Fire TV Stick 4K Plus
        Fire TV Stick
        Fire TV Stick Lite

        Do you stikk have the Fire TV Stick 4K? If so you can check the version of FireOS: 

        1. Go to Settings on your Fire TV.
        2. Select My Fire TV.
        3. Select About.
        4. Select Check for System Update.


        Hopefully you can get it working.
