I have a Philips tv and a fire stick connected. 2 days ago I'd lost my fire stick remote and haven't been able to watch anything on my tv. I do have a AT&T Universal remote, can I use that to program and watch shows and movies from my fire stick on my tv? If yes, what do I do to get it to work?

So two things make sure the firestick Jj is in the ARC port. Then it will work. Or go into settings on the firestick and sync the universal remote. If you are asking how to do that without an active remote. It’s called the fire tv app. It’s free, in your phone App Store and controls the firestick. You should be familiar with it after our videos on the app

You won't be able to control the stick with your voice without the firestick remote. Or you can use the app. A regular tv voice button isn't going to work with that setup. There are aftermarket ones like the sofabaton bluetooth one that I use that you can. But those tv remote voice control are for the built in android system, not for things plugged into your hdmi port. Just not a capability that has been developed yet. You need a bluetooth direct connectivity to the firestick, not the tv.

Most universal TV remotes dont work fully with firestick, IMO. You can navigate and press enter etc and do most tasks on the fire tv using TV remote but to install apps, show info, eg, where the hamburgur button on the fire TV remote is needed I have had no luck. Also, the home button of the TV remote will bring the TV smart OS home menu instead of the fire TV. Finally the voice button on my samsung TV remote always launches Samsung assistant and not Alexa on fire TV! If someone has had any luck completely replacing this. Please let me know!!!

You make a good point. That's why I provided links to ones that are fully functional with the firestick. If your universal remote is fully programmable, you can do every function.
