Abstract: Amazon made a good impression on us with its Fire TV set-top box, and gave Apple and Google something to think about; one because Apple TV has no gaming feature, and two because Chromecast was just a streaming USB stick. However, with Google now getting i...
Beautifully designed, impressive voice search, fast and powerful, open to third-party services, original in-house games available
No HDMI cable included in the box, voice search only works with a few services, needs more of the main broadcaster apps
We rather liked Amazon Fire TV both sides of the pond. However, it has a lot of very capable competition too. And that will only increase when Google releases its similarly Android-based Nexus Player. Part of its problem is that, unlike some of tho...
As a first attempt at an all-in-one media device, Amazon's Fire TV micro-console is nicely positioned given the $99 price-point. Physically, the hardware sports a tidy, discrete design, and its components are more than capable for tackling video streaming...

Very responsive, Elegant design and interface, Lots of content and apps available, Voice search is functional
Highly curated Amazon interface, Game performance isn't spectacular
Amazon's approach to Android is overly curated, and a lot of its power will remain untapped for most users, but for a $100 (£60) media hub the Fire TV stands out. It has more features than the Apple TV and more raw power and potential than the Roku 3, ma...
Slick hardware look and feel, Voice recognition works well, Snappy, easily navigable user interface, Great remote, Gaming is better than expected
Voice search is not universal, Apps not pre-installed, App load times are no faster than competition, Game controller feels cheap, Drawn out setup process
Although we think the Fire TV was a little overhyped at its introduction, it's still a really great set-top streamer with great performance. The one big low point is the lack of universal search, and the box isn't the Formula 1 speed demon we had hoped ...
Abstract: Amazon has finally entered the set-top box space with its newly-announced Fire TV. And it can do everything, including stream movies and television shows, displaying photos, and allow users to game - directly from their television sets. The actual Fire T...
Abstract: The Amazon Fire TV Stick is the bargain version of Amazon's super-fast voice search-enabled Fire TV. The HDMI version certainly sacrifices a lot of things that make Fire TV great, but is that bargain worth it? Absolutely.First of all, what is Fire TV and...
Better hardware than competition, Tons of content, Voice functionality on remote control
Expensive to achieve full potential, Prime Music not yet available
The hardware on the Amazon Fire TV is quite powerful and the interface is quite polished. Pair that with Amazon Prime and the deal becomes a lot more sweeter. if you were living in the US. For us folks in India this device is a luxury and it is the livin...
Besides promised features like FreeTime, and beefier voice-search capabilities, the Fire TV would benefit from some more apps. HBO Go is a big omission, but Amazon says it's working on adding that one ASAP. Fire TV doesn't need 1000-plus content sources l...
Abstract: Media streaming is a crowded space these days--you've got set-top boxes like the Apple TV and Roku competing with streaming sticks like the Chromecast and Plair, not to mention game consoles , networked DVRs , and smart TVs . At first the Fire TV might se...
