I could not stream Amazon Prime thru my PC's Graphics card w/ an HDMI output. I don't know if they did that on purpose or not. I get Prime for $7 a month since i am on SSD and have a EBT card. I got the Fire TV Cube because i can plug it into my receiver. it works great for hearing shows and movies in surround sound on my 7.1 system. First thing i have been binge watching the full series of House, So i pause it and ask Alexa about all the diseases and procedures i am not familiar w/ and it knows about 3/4s of them. i call this really great fun being a science nerd. i am doubling my medical/scientific vocabulary!

This product malfunctions when it is near any other Bluetooth device including Alexa. You have to learn tricks to use to make it function. Once you learn the tricks it delivers all the media and works with all the apps you want. Scan the Internet for "problems with Fire TV Cube" and you will see dozens of listed complaints - all with same/similar problems. I am assuming the recent generation 3 device has made corrections.

Great streaming device, easy to set up, easy to side load and super fast! Improved picture and sound with no buffering! Gen 2 is a must and Troy point is a great app to download apps. Have streamed for many years and cut the cable and this unit fills all the voids! Best ever firstborn device! A must own for cable cutters!

I've been using cheap streaming sticks and boxes for a while and just got tired of them, the performance just starts falling up to the point that they become unusable. I already had a Nvidia Shield that I bought in 2017 and has been a fantastic device, I was looking at a cheaper alternative with about the same or similar specs and found this jewel. The Fire TV Cube has very impressive specs with a 6 core CPU, 2BG of RAM and decent storage size of 16GB. The specs are almost identical to the new 2022 model so save your money and buy this one instead. I mostly use Sling, Netflix, HDHomerun, Plex, Disney+, Prime Video and HBO Max. Every single one of those apps performs excellent. There is no lag while scrolling through the guide on Sling and channel switching is very responsive and smooth. The other apps I've mentioned also perform as they should. My only complain would be the amount of Prime Video ads in the home screen. It's something that you cannot change but after a while you just get used to it. Overall a great streaming box for the average consumer with some high performance if you need that extra power.Read full review

I actually expected the cube to be better. It is easy to set up and for basic functions it works well. I can turn on and off my TV, my soundbar, my smart outlets and view my security cameras. I cannot get it to change the inputs on my TV, but my TV is 8 years old, so maybe not compatible? Then sometimes Alexa does not seem to understand what I want it to do. Last night for example, I said "play Fox 2 on HULU, and it tuned to Fox Sports.
