Do these new Fire TVs do HDR yet?

We've switched over to the smartTV app (HDR) in our television and the difference is pretty noticeable compared to the FireTV.

Yeah, 4k/HDR.

Any recommendations for a gigabit ethernet adapter for the Fire TV Cube? It's insulting they're putting out 100Mbps adapters.

Pretty sure the reason these are all limited at 100Mbps is because the USB ports are USB 2.0 still which doesn't support Gigabit speeds.

What's the likelihood of a Fire TV Cube being released this year with either built-in or USB adapter supporting gigabit Ethernet? My wireless speeds on my current unit are decent but I plugged the 100Mbps Ethernet adapter back in because the wireless sometimes switched to another access point further away with crap speed.

Seems slim, the "new" one with 100mbps ethernet just came out in October, but they did do a 1 year refresh window from Gen1 -> Gen 2 of the cube, so not impossible.
