Can I Watch iTunes Movies on Firestick?


In the current streaming media player market, Amazon's Fire TV Stick is another one besides Apple TV, Roku, and Chromecast, etc. It can be used to stream multiple online media content such as Amazon Instant Video, Netflix, etc. to TV for playing. But when you start to stream iTunes movies, you may be disappointed.
This is because all iTunes movies and TV shows are encoded in an M4V format, a special format developed by Apple and protected by DRM, which is not supported by the Fire Stick device. To watch iTunes movies on Firestick, you need to remove Apple's DRM protection while converting iTunes movies to MP4 or other DRM-free video formats. You can then transfer these common iTunes movies to an external storage device for playback on the TV via Fire Stick.
That's why TunesKit M4V Converter comes here. With this smart program, you can easily remove the DRM restrictions of iTunes videos (including movies, TV episodes, music videos, etc.). It also enables users to convert DRM-protected iTunes movies to MP4, AVI, WebM, or other common video formats while maintaining lossless quality. In this way, you can get a 1080p HD iTunes video in MP4 format and then project it to the Amazon Fire Stick.
