I had an old Chromecast but it didn't want to work for me for last years digital Frightfest so I bought a Roku Premier instead and just downloaded the Eventive app onto that. Worked brilliantly so that gets my vote.
I could do that, but it's 40 more quid, I probably won't use it again and I only really want two or three films; I'm working for at least one of the ones I would have watched (and also when the Discovery tickets are let loose so that's likely that fucked, as my silver haired old grandmother used to say).
Thanks Frank but I saw the pages and tbh I'm none the wiser - I don't have a computer to plug into the TV and there isn't much about firesticks, plus the forum threads from last year didn't look too hopeful. I'll have a faff with the FS when I have a free evening and if I can get anything I'll buy the digital pass thing then

IIRC, the only way to get it working on a Firestick was to install a web browser (e.g. Amazon Silk) on it, navigate to the site (sadly, typing urls is a laborious faff on the Firestick remote, so definitely bookmark it once done) and watch through that.
EDIT: Scratch that, I just checked and there's now an app for Firestick. Just search for Eventive TV and that should allow you to download it.
Thanks benj (and for your organiser - I use it every year too!)
I've downloaded that and had a look at the schedule, but a lot of what I wanted to see is during work hours so I might be on a hiding to nothing anyway when it can't be started by the person watching at a time that suits.
I also can't find the link to buy the passholder digital addon and not the £85 quid ticket - is it with the others and I'm just missing it?

You’re welcome- happy to help
And my pass has just been sent, after I spent the last three days panicking about not being able to figure out how to unlock anything or work the Eventive app I now have on my phone and my fire stick
I can catch up with virtually everything I wanted to see and didn't/couldn't and I'm really looking forward to having a mini FrightFest at home to draw it out a bit after such a fun weekend, so I hope the digital add on is a keeper!
