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.
