We have a Fire Stick and use it for amazon videos, netflix, and xbmc. Other than the god awful youtube app and goofy amazon interface, it does everything we need. And thanks to CEC we only need a single remote to control everything.

I signed us up for SlingTV which has ended up kinda sucking (terrible UI) but it did come with $50 off a full Fire TV and since it was already on sale I bought one. I can't think of any reason we need the usb port, so is there really any reason to switch to the full Fire TV? It has a better processor and more memory. Is this actually appreciable?

A nice thing about the Stick is that it is only on if the TV is on so that surely saves some power and requires less cables.

Is it really so hard for FTV to have an option to display the time on the main page?

I think it's like Vegas, they don't want you to pay attention to the time!

If you hold the center button you get to the sleep menu which has a clock. Sucks, but better than nothing...
