Damn ... until mid-December of stock. I remembered to have read appropriate instructions to the Fire TV at the Media Markt and indeed, they had the box in the offer, the same price as here at Amazon. So go home with the little package!
As you unpack the first surprise: in tests I had read of processing cheaper, but what I did because in his hands, was very compact and precisely manufactured from quality materials. The small remote flatters himself almost by their pleasant weight and largely fingerprint-resistant soft-lacquer surface with the hand! The small STB little device was relatively quickly integrated into the existing system, those who have a lack of space, can thanks to Bluetooth-FB the box also hide somehow. Was not necessary for me, the smart receiver took place in the crack between Dreambox and rack. Perfect. This was not a HDMI cable while, did not bother me, I would have anyway installed the preferred brand of me.
After turning I was first a few minutes bewunden the update graphic that played the latest firmware on the box. And twice. Then at last the final restart. As the box was acquired in MM, I had to manually add, thanks to the already apparent rapidity of the box no problem at my Prime account. Rappzapp took place a small movies, which clearly explained the radio ions of the box.
Then the Fire TV appeared surface. All quite large, but quite clearly. A little poking, this and that alluded and noted astounded: the picture and the sound are really okay! In mainstream films and of course everything is available in 3D, I will indeed continue to favor Bluray, but hey: even on the projector HD-series and movies are quite impressive, the sound is good!
And outside the Amazon world? Pay a visit to install Netflix and switched a subscription. Again, the quality and usability is beyond any doubt.
The box goes directly to the AV receiver, which then redistributed. This works both for TV and to the projector without handshake problems. Anyone who operates a home theater, will appreciate this fact. The 16000er DSL is leaked via devolo. Especially with Beamer operation is obvious that at the beginning of a low resolution is driven, then this will increase rapidly. With Prime, this process is hardly visible, clearly at Netflix. The high speed of image construction which is also not disturbing. Unfortunately Maxdome is not yet available, the app but it is pending.
The navigation is exhilarating fast and very intuitive. The voice control is awesome - and it works! But only when Prime offering, Netflix screen keyboard must be used.
I read in some tests, in forums and in the reviews here of a non-working automatic frame rate conversion. That's right, I can do it when disconnected interframe calculation and looped AV receiver also observed. For me, this is however not relevant, because I can set the AV receiver that he expects back the images via reverse pulldown in a 1080p / 24Hz format. Works very well, at least until the error is corrected in the firmware.
My wife and I are - temporarily - Series junkies. We now get to the fire TV a very praktikbles new toy, which we have already used obsessively on weekends. ;-) I never thought that streaming TV can be so much fun with such BQ.
Is there so much jubilation something negative? Yes, the bug already described above with the refresh rate and the availability of third-party is still very manageable. I wish first and then max cathedrals necessarily yet Sky, possibly the sale of the commercial broadcasting groups RTL and per 7 / Sat1. That would be it for now.
Those who like himself applies it to Android hand, is currently well advised to Android-Hilfe.de. For me it's nothing, I enjoy the working and very fast original surface.
Well done, Amazon!
