I set it up yesterday. Now the tables have turned!! My son is worried that I might use his account to buy things for myself. Should I give him a little scare??
Back to Fire TV stick;
- Very good and full packaging included
- They must have stolen few packaging engineers from Apple!
- I am impressed that they included a short HDMI extension
- The power supply is tiny and well built
- Remote size is good and the performance is snappy.
- Compared to AppleTV, this is a manageable remote and the cursor management does not lead to errors. With the AppleTV remote, too often arrow and got mixed up as the remote is too small.
- Still got warnings about the USB power supply even though the supply was plugged in. Without USB power supply, the plugged in stick was not showing up on my TV at all. It may have something to do with the HDMI port on my TV.
- Even though Netflix app is preloaded, it still had to load something but that was quick enough. Entering Netflix credential was pain as there was no way to display what I was entering and kept on making mistakes.
- Amazon prime streaming movie performance was fine
For $20, it is a great deal. Now our household has AppleTV, Roku(somehting) and this Fire stick.
