At £80, the new Amazon Fire TV is the same price as a Roku 3, a more versatile set-top box that lacks voice control and 4K support. So if you want those features, it might be worth it. The Fire TV is slightly cheaper than the $130 (UK price TBA) Roku 4 wh...
Lightning-fast, Easy to use, Improved voice recognition, MicroSD,
Amazon hard-sell still present, Still no bundled HDMI cable,
The first Amazon Fire TV was good, but it failed to stand out from the crowd. The Fire TV of 2015 is a different proposition, however.The same money gets you a faster, smarter, and altogether more capable box. And did we mention it does 4K?See all our Ama...
Abstract: Last year's Amazon's Fire TV streaming puck was a solid streaming effort from the etailer, giving you solid hardware, decent voice control tricks and a comfortable remote, but it didn't quite stand out from the pack. This year's version pack in 4K video s...
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

Fast, attractive user interface, excellent voice search, highquality video streaming (broadband permitting), deep integration with other Amazon music and photo services
Limited catchup, media streaming functionality dependent upon apps
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
At £79 the Fire TV matches the price of other competitors like the Apple TV. The Fire TV does have some very impressive features, like voice search and some powerful hardware. However, by only giving its own content access to the home screen and voice se...
