Supports all current HDR formats, Dolby Atmos, Impressive performance,
Big and awkward for a stick, Limited 4K HDR film selection,
If you're going to buy a dedicated video streamer, you want it to do everything - and until now the only one that did that was the Apple TV 4K. But for just £50, the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K has all the apps you need, supports all current HDR formats and t...

The Amazon Fire TV Cube lets you control power, input switching and volume on your TV, sound bar or AV receiver hands-free from across the room, using only voice commands. You can also use your voice to change channels on a cable box. The microphones are
If you want to use a source device beyond Fire TV -- like your cable DVR, game console, smart TV, Roku or Apple TV -- you'll have to keep its remote on-hand. The included Fire TV remote can't control other devices and even lacks volume and mute keys. Many

Great design, HDR support, Future proof with Dolby Atmos, Good price
Lack of Dolby Atmos content, Volume control missing from remote, Not as much 4K content as Apple TV
As Amazon's recent revamp of its Echo line demonstrates, the online giant is getting a good hang of building attractive – and feature-packed – devices, and the Fire TV (2017) continues that streak with a hugely improved design that shrinks the overall siz...
