I waited over a month to get this brand new streaming stick from Amazon. Mainly because they had been sold out.
It replaced my hundred year old Roku streamer.

Fire TV Stick
Pros:
It's very extremely fast. I've only seen it pause to load two or three times for maybe .5~3 seconds!
The voice search works great.
Physical controling on the remote is easy.

Cons:
(NSF the kids eyes...)
FUCKING AMAZON IS ABOUT AS USELESS AS SONY WITH THEIR PROPRIETORY BULLSHIT CHANNELS TELLING ME WHAT I CAN AND CAN'T WATCH.

Bottom line:
As soon as my new Roku Streaming Stick shows up, I'm selling this one, PIF'ng it or turning it into a target.
My old Roku box allowed me to add whatever channel I wanted. From kids cartoons to PORN. No questions asked.
We had been watching a channel called XTV which had movies, live tv, (yes LIVE). All kinds of things.
The new Roku sticks are now right up there in speed, etc.
1080p HD support
Quad-core processor
802.11 b/g/n dual-band MIMO
Point anywhere remote
blah, blah, blah...

The only thing it's missing is voice search. Oh well.

Just install Kodi and you can watch whatever you want.
