  • 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...

  • Picture is bright and colorful with all-angle viewing, Set-up and controls are relatively straightforward, Ambient Experience adds unique layer of functionality, Built-in speaker system doesn't necessitate soundbar, Mics in remote and television for Alexa
  • Fire TV aggressive in upselling content and services, Fire TV is a bit of a jumble, Ambient Experience can be frustrating for snack breaks
  • The Amazon Fire TV Omni 65-inch QLED Series television has the potential to be a great television set. The experience delivered with this TV is very much like Amazon itself: ready and willing to deliver the content you want, when you want it, but convenie...

  • Easy setup, Plenty of DVR space, It just works
  • Only works with Fire TV products
  • Amazon's Fire TV Recast just works. It's a cliche catchphrase that's typically muttered about Apple products but is applicable here. It's easy to set up and it works seamlessly with Amazon products. But remaining dependent on Amazon products is something...

  • Abstract:  That's changed a good bit in 2018. Many streaming services now include the major local broadcast channels. And products like Tablo (and to a different extent, HDHomerun) have made watching over-the-air TV throughout your home a relatively simple endeavor...

  • Easy to set up, Integrates well with Fire TV, Simple DVR function, Works with Amazon Alexa
  • Is fairly expensive, Only works with Fire TV, Transcoding hurts video quality, Max 2 simultaneous streams
  • The Amazon Fire TV Recast is a very good product. It's a great little piece of tech because it's easy to set up, and easy to use, and it integrates into the Amazon Fire TV beautifully. It is very well done.4 out of 5The question you have to ask yourself i...

  • Lets you record up to four programs at onc, Works with Fire T, Can stream programs to smartphone
  • Requires purchase of Fire TV device
  • The Recast is a great accessory for those who want to add DVR-like capabilities to their over-the-air broadcasts. While you're locked into using a Fire TV device, the two integrate seamlessly. Even better, it has a Sling-like ability to stream your local...

  • The Amazon Fire TV Recast antenna DVR doesn't charge any monthly fees. Its sophisticated program guide fits live TV channels seamlessly into the Fire TV interface. Setup is easy and out of home streaming to your phone works well. Picture quality was perfe
  • It's more expensive initially than many antenna TV options. You need a Fire TV device attached to your TV, and can only watch on two devices at once. Alexa search isn't as dependable as manually using the channel guide, and the required Fire TV menu syste
