Amazon Fire TV

The book I read to research this post was Help Me Guide To The Amazon Fire Tv by Charles Hughes which is a very good book that I read at kindle unlimited. This book is around 70 pages so is quite short. The Amazon Fire Tv is a bit like the Google Chromecast in that it streams media like tv shows and films to your television either by Amazon Prime or a 3rd party like Netflix. It is priced at £79 in Britain. Fairly recently Amazon has started to release apps specifically for this device which includes games. It has voice search which lets you search for media based on things like film name or actor name but prevents you from searching specifically for free content. It connects to a HD television via a HDMI cable not included with it but apparently you can get a compatible one on Amazon.com for just $1.90. It also connects to your wireless network normally a router to stream media. A Chromecast of course only costs $30 and if all you want to do is stream content is probably a better buy but the Fire TV has a lot of other features so is quite competitively priced. It won’t play graphically intensive games on you television which presumably would be streamed from your computer. It does though make your television a kind of Smart TV with its own operating system. There is also a Fire TV stick for those who want something similar to a Chromecast. It does also work with any cloud accounts which might have media on Amazon. Bear in mind you might need quite a fast broadband connection to stream video. I think this is a great device especially with the voice search that I certainly would be tempted to purchase. I did really enjoy reading the book and would definitely recommend it.
