If you thought ever thought 'oh boy, i'd like one of these fire tv things but i really wish it was built into some garbage tv' Amazon has you covered.

On a serious note, the fact that they actually integrated OTA support into the OS gives me hope for the Fire TV boxes. And lets hope the 3rd generation of Fire TV gets the same 3 GB of RAM plus 16 GB internal storage.




Are they garbage TVs though? Like 2 years ago my ex dragged me to buy a 4k Westinghouse TV at Walmart on Black Friday, it's tons better than my TV which I am perfectly happy with that I bought 10 years ago back when a high quality 720P LCD cost thousands, I'm pretty sure I paid around 2K for this TV, I think he paid like $300.

Fire TV is a decent enough TV OS, especially with 3 GB of RAM and 16 GB of storage.

Short of LED array dimming, industrial design and OLED I am pretty sure most of the "garbage tv" companies are able to put a panel indistinguishable to most consumers from the high end of the top tier brands and the biggest thing that is left is not having a garbage OS which Fire TV arguably solves.

I mean it is a stupid fight but I'm glad they brought a browser because I hate casting tabs to my Chromecast just to play a bunch of web browsers and have considered buying a Chomebit just to avoid it.

Has anyone tried a Bluetooth keyboard or even better a wireless keyboard and mouse combo though a USB hub?

We are not in a shared Prime Household, and their Fire stick does not appear in the list of devices for either of our accounts. We didn't buy the Fire stick for them. It's just a stick they have, I guess. I don't know anything about it.

Another possibility is that her parents are wrong about where the photos are coming from. Maybe their TV is accessing the photos not through the Fire stick but through some app?

Are you sure they are you photos? The default screensaver is a bunch of generic photos, is it possible that they just think they are yours?

My experience is older people read way too much into what they think "smart technology" can do. My mother-in-law swears, I thought she was kidding but she is dead serious, that Alexa likes my father-in-law better than her and even flirts with him, while Alexa is rude to her.
