Wiim Amp Ultra with Firestik

[Scrambler400]

Hi. I'm considering purchasing the Amp Ultra and have a concern.
I use an Amazon Firestick to get channels like Netflix and Prime. My current receiver has multiple HDMI inputs. I have the TV plugged into HDMI as well as the Firestick plugged into another. My TV is an older plasma TV with no preloaded apps.
How can I incorporate the Firestick and TV as they both utilize HDMI inputs?

Also; my wife isn't the greatest with remotes. We have Direct TV and use a Logitech Harmony remote to turn on the TV and satellite box. How can I make the process of turning on the Wiim Amp Ultra, TV and satellite box as simple as possible?

Thanks!

If possible, can you connect your fire tv stick and satellite box to the tv and the use the tv’s hdmi arc connection into the WiiM? It’s essential that the tv has an hdmi arc connection otherwise you can’t use hdmi with your Amp Ultra and may need to fall back on optical if your tv has such an output. That might make management of the other devices a bit more difficult.

There’s unfortunately no easy way of integrating the WiiM with the Logitech harmony remote itself, but you should be able to use auto sensing of the hdmi input on the WiiM for it to switch to the tv connection, while the harmony remote takes care of the other devices. I would add one caveat and possible barrier in that it’s generally advised not to use HDMI CEC on devices controlled with a harmony hub remote as it can lose track of the state of interconnections and mess up the harmony activities.

Thanks for your reply. The TV does have 3 HDMI inputs so I can plug the Firestick and satellite box into the TV. I was wanting to purchase the Wiim for the room correction and EQ. I do a lot of music listening and my room has bass bloom around 70-80hz.

Can you tell us about the TV model?
