Publisher's Synopsis
Amazon has delivered a home run with the Fire TV home-theater accessory. If ever there was a must-have, no-brainer gadget, this is it. The Fire TV transforms your plain-old HDTV into a home-entertainment smorgasbord. Never has such a universe of entertainment and education been packed into such a small package. Amazon's Fire TV has three times the processing power and four times the memory of any competing home-electronics gadget. It's truly a premium product at a bargain price. Fire TV brings a menu of more than 200,000 movies and TV episodes to your fingertips. It's a huge, open ecosystem of entertainment. Plus, it comes with access to the best video games. The Fire TV, the little box that plugs into your HDTV, provides instant access to every leading video-streaming service-Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, Hulu Plus, WatchESPN, and Showtime. New movie releases are available for low-cost rentals. And the FireTV brings much more of your personal media to your TV-photos, home video, and music. You can play slide shows and find specific photos. Photos or videos you take on your phone or tablet can be uploaded to Amazon Cloud Drive and appear on your TV within seconds. Here are the must-have features Fire TV delivers: - Voice search that just works. It's perhaps the biggest leap forward with Fire TV. No more scrolling and pecking letters from an alphabet grid, you simply mention the name of a movie, TV show, actor, director or genre. - Every leading streaming-video service. They're all available on your TV, plus a world of music-Amazon MP3s, Pandora, iHeartRadio, TuneIn, and more. With X-Ray for Music, lyrics display and scroll line-by-line automatically as the song plays. - World-class performance in a tiny box-a quad-core processor with more than three times the muscle of the competitors, Apple TV, Chromecast, or Roku 3. True HDTV plus Dolby Digital Plus surround sound. - Ready to use, right out of the box. After you order your Fire TV from Amazon, the unit arrives pre-registered to your Amazon account. Just take it out of the box, plug it in, and start enjoying. - Advanced Streaming and Prediction (ASAP), which predicts which movies and shows you'll want to watch, and pre-loading them for you. - High-quality gaming without the expense of a game console. Enjoy games like Minecraft, Monsters University, The Game of Life, The Walking Dead, NBA2K14, Asphalt 8, and much more. The average prices of Fire TV games is a measly $1.85.
