The streaming movies from Amazon worked in the first try as far quite well. Where my a bit too close to the router is actually ^^ (30cm distance ^^).
The installation was fairly easy, one has to rely on the supplied remote control, because you have to enter the password mühseelig so. A WPS button would have helped.
Video playback well so far, but that bothers me the Youtube app totally .. she runs laggy to use and I have not even managed initially from from smartphone to stream it runs on TV ... somehow it went it out ...
Stupid too, you have to enter in the YouTube app on the remote control very Mühsahm words ... here you can use the super FireTV Smartphone Remote Control App, the mobile keyboard .... what good works in the Amazon Videoapp ... if is to blame for Google or Amazon, I can not say definitely is the YouTube app quite beta stage ....
Radio I could hear with TuneIn Radio Super. A browser, there are not, here you can accomplish only in a roundabout way and means of Bluetooth mouse a little ... in principle the FireTV Stick's an Android computer ... that he does have more potential and could also be suitable for surfing.
Optimization I see in the following things
-USB Port for external HDD (miniUSB-> USB)
-WPS Button for easier connection to routers
-Tastatureingabe Via smartphone at all input Apps possible
-Nativer Web browser
In addition, I need a bigger TV ^^ 60 "to 4 feet would actually be a must. At 32" I realize that I can not read what I have ran a piece in many content crawling xD
For Amazon video service itself I can say ... I miss 3D Side-by-Side.
So much for about 30 minutes with the stick, let's see how this develops then the days.

### Update 20/04/2015
Now I have a little more to daily, so positive is the picture quality is often better than on the PC.
Although it often takes a few minutes to the quality on HD and then to "HD 1080p" changes.
Very good which is outputted to the FireTV Stick sound in Dolby Digital, which is probably not the PC.
You can manually set to Dolby Digital Plus him, otherwise he shall make it automatic. The plus means, in principle, an improvement to the normal DD, in particular the bit rate is improved and can be much higher than the normal DD.
The one negative to me is that one does not know whether a film has 5.1 sound or not .... my TV shows anyway only to the sound in DD is not DD +
Unfortunately, DD be anything from 2.0 to 7.1, etc ... there is neither while playing a key info that is streamed, still earlier in the movie description. Amazon itself says only that they Dolby Digital Plus also support multi-channel sound.
Funny, I found then that I can control the stick a little with my TV IR remote control.
Play, pause, forward, back and confirm it with the TV remote control my LG LW5500.
### Update 02/05/2015
----------------------
Meanwhile, I have from time to time short audio dropouts in DD5.1 sound
Yesterday even the sound fell after a while totally out ... it remains silent in the film until shortly paused and continued 10s or rewound.
Problems are now also KODI / SMPC, there are audio dropouts often at DD or sound scratchy noise for about 1 second (similar to the sound of the DD sound if you nevertheless times the analog boxes of TV to make at audio routing).
Curling is also the drawbacks to the normal FireTV noticeable. Via WiFi, the connection is not so optimal, the FireTV have a wired LAN option.
The sound output of the DD sound on the TV can cause problems to grind in some TVs also. In radio the TV must remain switched on so that sound is looped.
The FireTV level version has also advantages, direct optical digital output, so that the TV could stay out.
Anyone who wants to record a video or want to and not to access Playing on a NAS or other PCs on the network needs an external hard drive, and that goes beyond the much more expensive FireTV version, but not the stick.
And lastly could probably some problems stem from the features of FireTV Stick simply less computing power as the BOX.
