No matter what I try to watch on any app including Amazon video everything keeps freezing 10-30sec in. I have restarted it, reset it cleared all cache and I have a very good wifi signal but still freezing.
Have you tried briefly unplugging it and your router from the wall outlet? If the Fire TV is plugged into something other than a wall outlet, that could be your problem.
Also, you could be using a congested wifi channel. Investigate your router to determine how to change that.

There's that problem again. Like countless others, I have to fiddle around unplugging, resetting, deleting apps and so on when my Fire Stick 4k starts freezing up. Is the Fire Stick actually for real consumers without technical skills or is it just a nerd toy? When is Amazon going to make a product that is intelligent enough to work through the problems without causing so much frustration to the user? I want to give a streaming device to a friend who is disabled. But, he can't be expected troubleshoot these constant freeze ups. What streaming device can I get him that doesn't have this shortfall?

It could be any of a hundred different things.
