Excellent Device!





`                      I have had the Fire TV up and running for a few days now. Thus far it has been a fantastic device! It is so much faster than the app on my Sony TV.

We have watched a few movies and TV episodes on it and it never buffers, does not have to check the connection speed, nothing, it just instantaneously starts!

The RF remote is great, doesn't need line of sight and the speak to search function has been flawless. It has never once failed to produce the correct results.

As of this date the Prime choices are clear and easy to find. Yes, a search just for Prime content would be nice, but I have not had an issue yet finding Prime content. In this regard, the Sony app is better, but not having to wait 5 minutes for the app to get on screen then struggle for 5 more typing in a search query on the remote is a blessing and a half.

Install was a breeze, setup took just a few minutes. The device, like the Apple TV is always on, so getting to content is as easy and quick as getting to the correct input, and touching a remote button.

Having both the Fire TV and the AppleTV, I prefer the Fire. This is mainly because of the content with being a Prime member. The AppleTV is mainly used to mirror the iPad to the TV now.

I would gladly purchase this device again, and likely will as gifts.
