4K UHD playback, Responsive, The biggest choice of paid, for 4K content
Amazon Prime is effectively a must, Some codec limitations, Non, universal search
The new Amazon Fire TV is the perfect Ultra HD box for Amazon Prime faithful without the smarts in their 4K TV; however for anyone else it's merely an okay streamer. It's slick and responsive, but the Amazon bias means you won't get the most from the box...
The Fire TV is an excellent set-top box which is powerful and well designed. The voice search works well too, but isn't available in all apps. There are other foibles, too, such as confusion over whether videos are included in your Prime Instant video sub...

Powerful hardware, Gorgeous design, Voice search, Plex adds local streaming
UI favours Amazon apps, Unrefined game controller
Amazon's set-top box is elegant and powerful but not as open as it would like you to think. It's a great option, but we're looking forward to having a play with Google's forthcoming Nexus Player...
Amazon wins on picture and sound, Apple has better voice search, Amazon has more apps and UHD video, Amazon features USB and MicroSD
Apple TV more expensive, Typing is a chore on Apple
This is an easy win for the Amazon Fire TV. Its ease of use, its high speed, lower price and wealth of content all score major points over the Apple TV. And that's before we even get to the Amazon's UHD video.The Amazon Fire TV is hot stuff indeed, and Ap...
Great price, Very snappy in menus, Loads of apps, 4K Netflix & Amazon in one place, Can sideload Android apps
No 24p mode easily accessible, 4K limited to 30 frames per second and no HDR support, User interface will be too Amazon heavy for some, Voice search only for Amazon content
The 2015 Amazon Fire TV is an extremely well-priced media streamer with an excellent range of services; it's currently the only one to support Ultra HD streaming from both Amazon Instant Video and Netflix - a fact, alone, that will make it a must have for...
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...
