Amazon Fire TV (Electronics)

Customer Review

The Fire TV responds very fluid, is logical to use and does what it should and can, very good.
The limitations are currently still very large, but there will certainly be a lot of useful apps even in the near future.
Primarily, the box for the reproduction of (Prime) Instant video content responsible. This makes them good, I just wish a filter to hide paid content. Especially with the wonderful functioning Voice Search has also listed unsorted the paid content.

The limit is currently still very large, I hope it still changes. No integration of network content, not DLNA, no browser, etc., also has the built-in memory very closely sized, especially the tested by me racing game for over 1GB and thus occupies about 20% of the memory has. So a memory stick into the USB option to extend is actually a must.

And why the box can not be switched off manually, me remains a mystery.

+ Size and value
+ Remote control (eg no visual contact required)
+ Voice input recognition
+ Speed

- Can not be turned off manually
- Limited internal memory
- Very foreclosed (eg no DNLA)
- At the time a few apps, such as browser is missing

Addendum of 28.09:

With Plex to network functionalities can be retrofitted, so I can play my MP3 from the network.

XBMC also runs the installation is somewhat complex and the start bit of an inconvenience, but otherwise it works fine and evaluates the box clearly on.

Really great! 2 3 Rank: 5/5
