I like how zippy it is. It's noticeably faster than my old Fire TV Stick. (I also like the bigger remote because it's harder to lose.) It's cool that you can ask it what the weather is

As much as I enjoy the Amazon Fire TV experience
I must admit that it's exceedingly mediocre. Compared to Apple TV
For instance
The interface feels clunky and confusing. I also feel like I'm constantly being pushed to buy or rent Amazon content which i

Lacks full Dolby Digital support until an update is released
Non-Amazon content and apps can get buried in the menu

Third-party app integration pales in comparison to Prime
Abstract: By 2014 the landscape has changed completely, with the introduction of SmartTVs, internet-connected consoles like the Xbox and PlayStation, and VOD services like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon. No longer are you forced to pay Sky a premium rate subscription fo...
After the rather good but, AirPlay aside, quite inflexible previous-gen Apple TV, Apple has pulled out all of the stops for this model. Adding an App Store makes a huge difference and will ensure that the product can evolve quickly, with new services comi...
The Amazon Fire TV offers a healthy -- if not quite complete -- selection of UK streaming apps, via a responsive interface. Parental controls and support are top-notch. Voice search from the remote works very well. It's the least expensive external device
Popular apps such as Netflix, iPlayer and others take a back seat to Amazon's own TV shows and movies. The Alexa digital assistant doesn't work in the UK. Search results prioritise Amazon, and often hide results from other providers even if you've install
The Fire TV is a formidable streamer with 4K capability and oodles of features, but it tries too hard to serve up Amazon's own TV shows and movies...
Superfast menu system thanks to quad-core processor, 4K Ultra HD video playback, dual-band dual-antenna Wi-Fi, microSD card slot for storage expansion, thousands of shows and movies available
Not that much 4K content is on the platform yet, Ultra HD movies are very expensive, if you haven't got an Amazon Prime or Prime Instant Video membership you won't get the most from it
Amazon's second-generation Fire TV box is a real step forward in the media streaming sector and considering the popularity of the first one is bound to be the device chosen by many families up and down the UK as their main living room device. By ad...
Easy to use, Good AV performance, 4K, Power and speed
Amazon platform could be more open
It is super fast, plenty powerful, and offers an excellent range of content Should you buy the 2015 Amazon Fire TV? Yes, if you want a streaming box and don't have the original Fire TV. This revision is a significant step up and fixes many of the origina...
The Fire TV is an excellent set-top box which is powerful and well designed. The voice search works well too, and Alexa is coming, which will make it far better. The interface is slick and easy to use, even if it can be confusing working out what you can...
Smooth and responsive UI, Amazon Prime Instant Video front and center, Gamingcentric with a dedicated gamepad available, Amazon Appstore ensures an evergrowing selection of apps
Small internal storage, doesn't support external memory, Amazoncentric, third party apps get secondclass citizen status, Text entry is tedious with the remote or the gamepad, Almost unusable outside the US, unless willing to jump through hoops
I began reviewing the Amazon Fire TV as a sceptic, but finished this piece with mixed thoughts about this device. For a first attempt, Amazon really does make a good job in making the user interface silky smooth. The launcher is very simple to understand...
Spaß macht das Amazon Fire nicht, aber es erledigt Alltags-Aufgaben ohne Murren und lässt sich meist störungsfrei bedienen. Seine Existenzberechtigung findet es als extrem günstiges Basis-Tablet zum Surfen oder um Apps auszuprobieren - oder für die Kinder...

einfache Bedienung, aufgeräumtes Menü
Wer als Amazon-Kunde Zugriff auf Prime Video, aber keinen Smart TV hat und keine 100 Euro ins Fire TV investieren möchte, wird mit dem rund 50 Euro teurem Stick glücklich. Wenn Ihr aber am TV auch das eine oder andere Spielchen wagen wollt oder Wert auf 4...
einfache Bedienung inkl. Sprachsuche, Zugriff auf viele Mediatheken, 4K Wiedergabe, günstig
Tonprobleme mit Dolby Digital, Sprachsuche nicht systemweit, Probleme mit Controller
Ich habe die Amazon Fire TV als Schaltzentrale fürs Wohnzimmer lieben gelernt. Die einfache Einrichtung und Bedienung machen Spaß, die Sprachsuche funktioniert sehr gut, auch wenn sie leider nur auf die Amazon-Mediathek beschränkt ist. Dazu gibt es viele ...
