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

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

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

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
