Fire Tv Stick. A detailed review with SMALL comparisons to its competitors!

I've been using for some time gadgets to convert my TV to a smart TV. Currently and for about a year to Chromecast to name an example. However, to me has not been sufficient so far the functionality. Then I had the Fire Stick Tv just right so she can read my review about it here :)

>> The Fire TV Stick
The Fire TV Stick is like Chromecast an HDMI Stick you need to plug into the television. The Fire TV Stick as well as the Chromecast must be connected to the outlet. The difference lies is that they need to join the Fire TV Stick with the socket, otherwise they have Leistungseinbusen of approx 30-40%. The Chromecast you could easily plug it into the USB slot with.

The setting goes smoothly and easily. A little click. Watch a tutorial video and allow the unit to find the remote control. Even you can get started. The Amazon account is preset and can be changed if necessary. The menu reminds me of the Android Tv surface. That is, they have a menu through which you can click and right next to the selection of items that are listed in this menu.

By FireTv you can install apps from the Amazon Appstore and only for this Appstore. This has the consequence that many quality apps from the Google Play doors are possibly not available. Especially in games that is striking. Some of them rely on the remote control or controller, there are even extra menu for where you can only select games support one or both. This is directly in the app then indicated by Note. Playing works easily and smoothly. The installation is actually quite fast. They can also watch the latest movies and series. Older Series (1 year old) they receive free Unless you are Amazon Primw member. Well I think that's an extra category there is where you direct the films only looks that you get for free.

Overall, I find the FireTv stick really great. It runs smoothly and cleanly. The range of functions for 20 really bomb for 40 by the way also). If you have a little more idea about technique you can even install a streaming solution using app from your PC to stream movies. For those not technically gifted right I think also of the normal functions. If you want to use the voice function here but they must reach into his pocket. The remote control is supplied support this not.

>> The Chromecast compared
The Chromecast ONLY is a Streaming Stick of local content. You can always just either stream from their mobile phone (for example, play music / books / videos, etc.) or from the PC with corresponding app. A menu like the Fire Tv does not exist. Also no remote because there everything runs on smartphone. For the quick and uncomplicated streaming fine, especially if you have a movies collection anywhere on board. Play games also goes, the smartphone serves as a controller. The wide range of films, especially as many free movies they get here but definitely not. Also, I find the solution to the menu at Fire Tv easily solved and clearer than constantly changing the app.

>> The Nexus players compared
Why this comparison? Well quite clearly because the Fire TV Stick for less than the Keeps almost has the same feature set. The Nexus is Google's idea of ​​a player device which your TV will turn to a better Smart TV. The menu is very similar to the Fire Tv stick and it works something like that. The only differences are in other technical specifications (no Dolby 5.1, etc.) and no access even as many movies as with Amazon Instant Video. Otherwise, they can also use a controller there and it even operated via voice control. They can not at FireTv stick out of the box. Since You have to buy a new remote control. They also have all Chromecast functions here. Accordingly, all of the advantages. Another advantage is that the Google Play Store contains really more and higher-quality apps.

---> Conclusion
The Fire TV Stick is worthwhile in any case. That is my conclusion after a few days use. He might not offer the best experience what the Smart TV range but concerns a full-thumping good and voluminous. I can highly recommend everyone who likes him will make his TV a smarter and especially any who does not know what to do with its Amazon Instant Video. The other features like games etc Nice-to-have, other boxes a la Android Tv better.

I hope I could help you with your decision. If you have any questions then ask this quiet. I do not bite and answer as soon as possible and very happy. If you enjoyed my review I would appreciate a review :)
