Coming soon: Amazon Fire TV Stick + Windows 8.1 Miracast support.
Posted on 14 January 2015 by Chippy
The Amazon Fire TV stick was looking like the best Miracast option for
Windows 8 PCs; A real no-brainer. The problem is that it isn’t working.
Owners are reporting that it’s showing up as a remote display on Windows 8.
1 but no-one is reporting a successful connection. Does this mean it’s a no
-go? Fortunately not because Amazon have recently indicated that Windows 8.1
support is coming soon.
Fire TV Miracast for Windows support coming soon

It seems that a number of owners aren’t happy with Amazon FireTV sticks
they bought for Windows and Miracast use. I’m not happy either as in my
eyes, Miracast support is Miracast support and not ‘a subset of Miracast
devices support.’
Quite how long we’ll have to wait for Miracast on Windows 8.1 with Amazon
FireTV sticks is another question but at least Amazon is on the case and
have committed to doing something. Keep your eyes on the product page, this
forum thread and firmware updates.
Note that Miracast isn’t he same as WiDi although a WiDi compatible device
works with a Miracast receiver. WiDi has more features than Miracast and is
now up to version 5.1 with 4K support. I’m not aware of any products that
have it yet.
