The FireTV is a winner for me so far. Fast and easy setup if you're already a Amazon member. I'm not a Prime member, but FireTV box is still very beneficial. Fast processor; good Wi-Fi connection; good built in Bluetooth feature; and good App choices already installed. Easy to side-load other Android Apps to it too (If you're techie). Purchased after I cancelled my ever increasing Comcast cable service. Great addition to digital antenna. Glad I purchased FireTV.

Got it for my 60 y/o dad for his birthday but he didnt end up using it. Took it for myself and I love it! Netflix, Prime Viedo and tons of other channels with a seamless user experience and most superior voice search to date.

As a video streaming device, this little box is great. We use Netflix so I activated the free Netflix app. I like how there is a separate Netflix for kids app. The remote is small, lightweight and simple to use. The voice search is very accurate, but it only provides hits that belong to Amazon. How lame is that?! This device is clearly geared for use with Amazon Prime membership. Since I am a student and Get Amazon Prime for half price, I decided to try it out. It was very easy to set up using only my Fire TV remote. I don't think I would want to pay the full price for it. Netflix has a bigger selection of the stuff that I like. Whether you opt to subscribe to Amazon Prime or not, you will be bombarded with opportunity to spend money for Amazon products and services. I find that a bit distasteful. I like that there are kid friendly games available for free download. I researched buying a high-end gaming console like X-box but was turned off by the very high price and very limited selection of young-kid-friendly games. The fire TV is no match for a dedicated high-end gaming system, but it is all my family will need for a few more years. There is also a separate game controller available for purchase (if you don't want to use the simple remote controller). Many games require the optional game controller. I will probably be more interested in it when my 5 and 6 year olds become 7 and 8 year olds. To my disappointment, I haven't encountered any web browsing apps to download. I think that would be a nice enhancement (if they do it right). At any rate, I bought two of these to turn two big dumb HDTVs into big smart HDTVs. The tiny Fire TV box can be easily concealed behind the TV (since line of sight is not needed for the remote). A single HDMI cable between the Fire TV box and the TV provides both video and audio signals. The Fire TV supports WIFI so I stream wirelessly with amazing results. If you leave your TV on when finished using, a slideshow begins to play with a nice assortment of very scenic pictures that are replaced/updated from time to time so you don't get tired of looking at them. You have the option of putting personal/family pictures on Amazon (for free, I think) and using those as the screen-saver slide show source. If you want to rent a movie that you don't have available by subscription (Netflix, Hulu Plus, Amazon Prime, etc.) you have only to press the microphone button and speak. Then, for a small fee, you can instantly stream the title of your choice. At least that's the theory. I haven't spent a penny on apps, movies or games (other than my monthly subscriptions) since I bought the thing. However, it does sound like a nice alternative to driving to the nearest video rental store and worrying about return dates and late fees. I hope this helps. Good luck.

When it arrived the total set up time was 15 minutes. About 2 minutes to hook up; and then it took about 13 minutes to connect and download some updates. I have Netflix and Amazon Prime; both were super simple to access, voice command is flawless, picture quality is amazing. Easy to pause, come back to, fast forward and rewind work perfect. I have only positive things to say and have already recommended to two people who have bought their own after trying mine.

It just works. Pretty much flawlessly. Amazon Prime has some fairly good content and I rarely have any issues streaming. I also use Plex on it (extra cost for the app) and have very good results streaming media from my home server. I'll note that I also have WD Live and Chromecast and have stopped using them both because they simply don't work as reliably as the Amazon Fire TV. Well worth the cost. Love the dedicated remote. Love the voice search. Love the silly/simple Android games you can play on it.
A:The Fire TV box has wired and wireless internet (Stick only has wireless), Dolby Digital Plus and 5.1 surround sound (Stick only has Dolby Digital Plus), extra games that are too demanding for the Stick, it comes with the voice remote (stick comes with a normal remote), and has 2GB of memory (not storage - both come with 8GB storage, I'm referring to system memory used while running programs) instead of the Stick's 1GB. The Box is better if you're hooking it up to a home theater receiver.
Other than that, they both run typical things like Netflix and Amazon Video. Both can sideload programs like Kodi to make it a media center, or run emulators for games (although the Stick can't handle some of the more demanding games). For day-to-day use (eg. Netflix), the Stick does not run noticeably slower than the box.
A:I have both and I have to say the Fire TV blows the Roku out of the water. The reasons are that a.) Fire TV has a much faster processor. b.) I use Amazon prime and Fire TV is geared toward Prime features. c.) and most of all you can "sideload" Kodi. If you aren't familiar with Kodi, Google it.
A:What channels are you referring to? I use mine mostly for Netflix, Hulu+ and Amazon Prime, but am considering subscribing to Sling TV. For $20/month you can stream 23 different "cable" networks, and if you like movies, you can add HBO for an additional $15/month. If you want access to all of your local channels, you need to get a digital antenna. They don't cost much, you can use it in the house, and in my area (I do live in a metro area) I get around 35 or so channels just from the antenna feed. So, it pretty much depends what exactly you're looking for. Hope this helps.
