The second major point of criticism (and I wonder who the here all about looks):
Bucking the image pans in the movies, stutter formally. Check it out closely. That's not even B class. This is not the Internet, but the fact that the frame rates of the films be in either 30fps or 25fps. But the FireTV plays either 1080p 50Hz or 60Hz 1080p. Then often runs the Hertz number with the framerate of the movie is not synchronized, which causes image stutter during camera movement (see tests on the Internet).
It's no fun to play any movie only to then adjust the settings the framerate. The setting "Automatic" under Picture & Sound also provides no solution.
The Fire TV itself would be a fine instrument, wieselflink, but if I so movies in the evening can not even look in HD and this also stuttering, then this is a farce! Therefore, it is not understandable for me why here großzügigst 4 and 5 stars will be distributed. Probably enjoy most as a scavenger when they look at Prime free movies and may install a few colorful Apps. Completely incomprehensible !!
Therefore, only 2 stars. And which are for the operation system and the speed of the hardware platform. However, 4 or 5 star you have to complete package Hardware - Software - Streaming - deserve - and that currently goes completely wrong!
