  • Now has Dolby Vision, Faster performance, YouTube has returned
  • IR blasters are forever imperfect, Doesn't make much sense if you have an Echo already, You'll still need remotes around

  • Voice commands go beyond the basics, Adaptive interface depending on the interaction method
  • Voice commands don't always register, You can't completely ditch your remotes

  • Abstract:  Amazon has started shipping the Fire TV Cube, a media player aiming at the Apple TV 4K. But, can it bring as much to the table as Apple's device does, for just a little bit less money...

  • Abstract:  Amazon's (AMZN) Fire TV Cube is what happens when a company takes two great ideas and asks, “What if we just smashed these together?” And as it turns out, that's also a great idea. At least in the case of the Cube.Available Thursday, June 21, Amazon's Fir...

  • Launching videos with Alexa is glorious—when it works, Voice control for TV volume, sound systems, and cable boxes is a nice touch, Visual Alexa responses turn the TV into a powerful Echo-like device
  • Alexa is embarrassingly bad at genre search and inconsistent at playback controls, No volume control on the remote, Ads and promotional materials clutter the on-screen interface
  • The Fire TV Cube wants to replace your remote with voice commands, but Alexa isn't up for the challenge...

  • 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

  • Speedier performance, Alexa's cable box controls are great, Great 4K HDR picture quality, Lively interface
  • Home screen can't be edited, packs ads, Awkward Ethernet adapter
  • Amazon's previous streaming devices have scratched at greatness, but the Fire TV Cube's union of Alexa and Fire TV makes for a harmonious marriage. Not only is it excellent at pumping out brilliant picture quality, but its ability to switch between inputs...

  • Alexa makes a capable media navigator, Setup is straightforward, Still get many of Alexa's other Skills, Competitively priced
  • Not a fully-fledged Echo, IR can still be awkward, Built-in speaker is weedy, Full Alexa support is app-dependent
  • When you can have a Fire TV Stick for a third of the price of the $119.99 Fire TV Cube, complete with the Alexa Voice Remote, is the premium for completely hands-off control really worth it? Leaving aside the fact that the cheaper stick lacks things like...
