Have you tried to unplug it and plug it back in to see if that helps?

If my Fire Stick acts up I just do a soft reboot and then it's fine. But that's not often.

yes. I tried everything. anyway, I got a new one and the only thing I can't get it to operate is my cable box. everything else is fine, but they don't even list "cable" as an option anymore to add the equipment. It's so bizarre. This is the newest generation and it seems like its a fossil not even having cable as an option to choose. I got the cube to actually call out saying "Tuning to channel 11", but it never changes. I also said turn to 301, which is my HBO. Alexa even says "tuning to HBO HD on cable". so it knows the stations it just doesn't change to them.
Also, it won't turn it on, only off. I'm so frustrated.
