Carol- I can give a bit of feedback about the Amazon Fire tv as well as a personal opinion but here's an intriguing tidbit:
The Washington Post, owned by Amazon chief executive Jeffrey Bezos, gave The Fire a less than rave review. Just do a search for the title Amazon Fire Tv Falls Behind the Competition. You can easily find the Post's review. Good to know the reviewers aren't censored because they don't pull any punches.
The Fire is meant to be a competitor with Roku, Apple TV, and Google's Chromecast but it doesn't offer anything they don't and is aimed at funneling users towards Amazon movies and content. And sometimes you get LESS content than with other set top boxes.
The Fire is at the high end of the price range for such devices and I think it comes with significant limitations but would love to know how others feel. The Fire connects your television directly to the Internet.
