PS ...... I am a buffoon ......... it is 'Show Box' not 'Show Time'.  ::)

Ronski:
You will still have an install apps option on the fire stick,  functionality wise its pretty much the same as the box, think of the box as being better connected and more powerful,  wirh more storage.

The Amazon Fire Stick works very well on the TV but I wondered if it would work if I plugged it in to my PCLinuxOS KDE laptop HDMI socket and added it's USB power.

Nothing that's what happened  :-\

Should it work ?.

Ronski:
No, your laptop hdmi socket is an output socket to send a signal to a display. The firestick is also trying to send a signal, so will only work on an input socket.

tickmike:
Good point  :-[
