There's plenty to like about the Fire TV Recast. It's easy to set up and readily hidden away; affordable for what you're getting; and the experience on a Fire TV device is tightly integrated. Factor in Alexa, and it's undoubtedly one of the easiest ways t...
The Amazon Fire TV can access thousands of the most popular streaming apps. Its interface is very quick to respond, and Amazon content launches almost immediately. Parental controls and support are top-notch. Voice search from the remote works very well,
