Is an older Firestick better than a newer Firestick for Kodi, Terrarium, etc?

I bought a firts generation Firestick many years ago. I loaded Kodi and Kryptonite on it a few years later (still a couple of years ago.) Anyway keeping up with updates got to be a pain in the arse and I quit using the add-ons.

Somehow or another I misplaced the remote. Amazon wanted $29.99 for a new remote but also had a new Firestick with voice remote on sale for $29.99 so I just bought that.


Should I use the new Firestick or is there a way to use the new remote with the old Firestick?

I'm just trying to be able to catch Jeopardy! on time-delay.

I'd splurge the extra $20 and get the FireTV "box." At least it's got extra horsepower and is 4K compatible.

Old FireTV > new FireTV
New Firestick > old Firestick

You can swap the remotes. You just have to pair them. There is also a fire tv remote app you can use.

Why even use the remote? Use the app on your phone. Bet you always know where that is.

May be more reasons than this but the old Fire TV has a hole to plug Ethernet into.

The new one is just wireless.

I have an old one and use the Ethernet rather than the wireless.

It is a no brainer for me because my router and Fire TV are next to each other.
