I forwarded it to Hubs. I think once we move, this is what we'll be buying. From everything I've read, getting the Prime content to stream on your Chromecast requires a major workaround. And you can stream Showtime on it, which you can't do with some of the other units. Plus, higher processing speed. And the voice control. </p> <p>We've been talking about going the Roku or Chromecast route for a few months, but haven't bitten the bullet yet because of various things, but decided that once we move we'll make a decision. I think the FireTV just made it for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amazon-fire-tv#post-1542837 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 12:46:36 +0000 birdofafeather 1542837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We already have a roku that we use daily. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amazon-fire-tv#post-1542672 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 12:02:31 +0000 Mamaof2 1542672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: oh wow!!

Why buy more of the same. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amazon-fire-tv#post-1540964 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 19:28:57 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 1540964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We already have an apple tv (that we use a lot) and a roku that we never do. Our blu ray player also has an amazon app.. so, no need for this thing. I suppose if DH hadn't already bought so many movies, etc on iTunes it would be worth considering just being a part of the amazon ecosystem. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amazon-fire-tv#post-1540485 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 15:54:44 +0000 mrsrain 1540485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have Apple TV... besides, we give Amazon enough of our money already :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amazon-fire-tv#post-1540393 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 15:33:20 +0000 yin 1540393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Feel like they're kind of late to the game. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amazon-fire-tv#post-1540329 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 15:17:05 +0000 pui 1540329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah it's essentially competition for stuff already out there. If I was going to buy one of these things, I'd consider Amazon's too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amazon-fire-tv#post-1540314 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 15:12:24 +0000 swurlygurl 1540314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, that looks almost exactly like a Chromecast, or Apple TV.</p> <p>We have Chromecast AND a Smart TV, which is a waste.</p> <p>If it offered discounted membership prices to Amazon/Netflix/Hulu, etc - THAT would be worth it!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amazon-fire-tv#post-1540312 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 15:12:20 +0000 spaniellove 1540312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We already have Apple TV and Roku and never use either. Definitely don't need another device. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amazon-fire-tv#post-1540207 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 14:43:38 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1540207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ehh. </p> <p>We have a chromecast. It's like $35 and does the same thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amazon-fire-tv#post-1540204 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 14:42:29 +0000 mrsjyw 1540204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Saw this on my homepage for Amazon</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CX5P8FC/ref=amb_link_1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&#038;pf_rd_s=gateway-center-column&#038;pf_rd_r=10XS958ZRMC37W63677X&#038;pf_rd_t=101&#038;pf_rd_p=1770217382&#038;pf_rd_i=507846" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CX5P8FC/ref=amb_link_1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&#038;pf_rd_s=gateway-center-column&#038;pf_rd_r=10XS958ZRMC37W63677X&#038;pf_rd_t=101&#038;pf_rd_p=1770217382&#038;pf_rd_i=507846</a></p> <p>what do you think? will you be buying? </p>
