The editors didn't like
Really needs Prime
Non-universal search
Some codec limitations
A cheaper model currently on sale in the US will probably arrive in the UK soon. There's no ITV
Channel 4 or Now TV support
And the voice search only works with Amazon material. It's expensive too
That voice search that is so amazing? It only searches content available on Amazon. Gaming is cool
But nothing to write home about. Home screen favours Amazon content while relegating other channels to out-of-the-way submenus
Amazon Prime is effectively a must
Non
Universal search
No HDMI cable included in the box
Voice search only works with a few services
Needs more of the main broadcaster apps
Voice search limited to Amazon content
Occasional remote lag
Limited catchup
Media streaming functionality dependent upon apps
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
Abstract: But for now, it's largely promise: Many of the best features work with only a handful of video services, which makes Fire TV primarily a showcase for Amazon's video offerings.Fire TV, unveiled by Amazon on Wednesday, marks the online retailer's latest pus...
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 ...

Fire TV todavía necesita diversas funcionalidades para que se pueda convertir en un sustituto multisistema de otras opciones ya establecidas. Por ejemplo, en el caso del Apple TV se necesitaría una aplicación como AirPlay para poder usarlo como segundo mo...

Abstract: Amazon anunció el miércoles su caja de streaming de video Fire TV durante un evento en Nueva York, enfocándose en mejores búsquedas, desempeño y experiencia para jugar frente a sus competidores. Fire TV ya está a la venta en la tienda de Amazon por US$99,...
Por un lado tenemos el mejor hardware en un set-op box, por el otro el peor set-op box para usar en México, en lo personal me hice con él porque quería saber cómo funcionaba, pero al contrario de Apple o incluso Google, Amazon no cuenta con contenido para...
Der Amazon Fire TV überzeugt im Test mit nativer 4K-Unterstützung, starker Performance und allen wichtigen Streaming-Funktionen. Dank des integrierten App-Stores lässt sich der eigene Player beinahe grenzenlos erweitern und sogar in eine Spielekonsole ve...

Geringer interner Speicher, Schlechtes Speichermanagement, Kein Google Play Zugang, Kein optischer Audio-Ausgang mehr, Kein HDMI Passthrough für Kodi oder Plex
Mit mehr Leistung, 4K-Unterstützung nebst der passenden Medien und das zum gleich gebliebenen Preis macht die Amazon Fire TV Set-Top-Box der zweiten Generation zu einem wahrhaften Schnäppchen. Wenn man sich mit den technisch bedingten Einschränkungen wie...
Der Markt der Video-Streaming-Boxen verändert sich schnell. 2014 war Amazon mit dem Fire TV der Konkurrenz weit voraus. Apple macht zwar mit dem auf 1080p reduzierten neuen „Apple TV“ videotechnisch keine Konkurrenz. Mit dem nur in den USA erhältlichen Ro...
Das Fire TV bietet in fast allen Punkten mehr als das Vorgängermodell und ist damit etwas universeller einsetzbar. Ein Gewinn ist der Steckplatz für Micro-SD-Karten, zumal glücklicherweise für die üblichen Aufgaben USB-Speichermedien weiterhin unterstützt...
