Hi @Palak The USB2.0 port is a standard data transfer port, as such it supplies only up to 500 mA. The FireTV requires 1 A in most cases. The same is true if you want to connect external hard drives instead of USB sticks.

Hi @Philips_Support_P are you saying that i wont be able to use HDD via USB ?

(since there are ppl saying Fire Stick TV works for some and not for others, i will check once i have my ppm)

Hi @Palak you can of course use it, if it can be powered from one USB2.0 port (i.e. requires max 500 mA current). If it requires more power, please use a power supply or a powered USB hub to connect it to PicoPix Max.
