For example, ask Alexa to look at Westworld, and the Fire TV Cube will pick up from where you left it in the series. And Amazon’s assistant is at its best when you request specific shows and television channels. When Alexa understands and executes a voice command, it’s one of the most satisfying interactions you’ll have with your television. From a technical standpoint, everything works pretty well, so Alexa feels like a disappointment. For music and video, the cube switches to the TV or sound system and tries to turn on the TV. If the TV is off and you ask for some basic information, such as the weather or a sport score, the Fire TV Cube uses its own speakers. (If having multiple Alexa devices is a problem, you can always use an alternative reactivation word, such as ‘ echo ‘ or ‘ Computer ‘, for one of them.) The Fire TV Cube also recognizes when you need to route audio through the TV or your own speakers. And while we have an eco show at a distance from the living room, he seldom picked the commands that were intended for television. At 12 meters distance, the cube had no difficulty in taking the commands with my normal inner voice, even with the sound of the television above it. As a proud rope cutter I have not tried the fire television of integrating the cable box, but I am impressed with the speech recognition and TV integration of the Fire TV Cube. The visual feedback of the cube makes the Alexa answers more useful. And of course you can use your voice to search product listings on the Amazon website. If you have a compatible security camera (that is, one for which the manufacturer has published an Alexa skill), you can ask Alexa to display the camera’s feed. However, there is a major constraint on the musical front The Fire TV cube cannot sync music playback with other audio echo devices in multiple rooms. And when the TV is turned on, it can act as a gigantic echo show, where the prognosis is displayed when the time is requested, the score of the box when sports results are requested and the album cover when the music is Listened. The Fire TV Cube is also better optimized for Alexa than other Fire TV devices, so you can choose the search results with voice and show suggestions on the screen about what you can do with voice commands. The TV cube with fire comes with a go extender cable, in case you keep these boxes in a hospitality center. If you have a pay service from a large cable, satellite or Telco provider, Alexa can even switch to those configuration boxes and tune in to live TV channels. On the one hand, the Fire TV Cube has a built-in infrared blaster, so you can use Alexa voice commands to control the volume of the TV, A/V receivers, Soundbar and other devices with infrared equipment as well. Fire TV Cube versus Fire TV Plus-Echo If you already have a Fire TV device and an echo device, they support many of the same voice commands as the Fire TV cube, but all in one package has some advantages. On the other hand, it helps refrain from those bells and whistles Amazon to help undermine the Apple TV 4k and Shield TV while it focuses on handsfree speech control as a distinctive feature.įire TV Cube is essentially an echo-point speaker grafted into a streaming video box, with a distant field mic array and a built-in low-quality speaker that can respond to voice commands when the TV is turned off. The Fire TV Cube provides a micro-USB port for Remote Storage and the included Ethernet adapter, but there is no full-size port. And like the Fire TV pendant, the cube in 2015 actually has less processing power than the second generation of Fire TV, so it doesn’t feel as sensitive when scrolling through menus or applications. The Fire TV Cube has a micro-USB port for the supplied Ethernet adapter and Remote Storage, although for the latter it is likely to require a different adapter or cable than the adapter that comes with your hard drive. And unlike the latter, the cube does not have full-size USB ports for hard drives, TV tuners, and other accessories. Unlike the first Fire TV Cube does not support Dolby Vision HDR, which allows color and contrast per frame to be optimized for TVs that support the format.
It’s a bit disappointing that Amazon doesn’t use the Fire TV cube as an opportunity to deliver a faster, more complete streaming box for e.g.
#KODI FOR USB DRIVE BLUETOOTH#
Both devices also support playback of HDR 4k video, Dolby Atmos Surround Sound, Bluetooth 4.2 (mainly for game controllers and headphones) and 802.11 Wi-Fi AC. It is powered by the same 1.5 GHz Quad-Core processor and 2GB of RAM but has a dual internal storage capacity of 16 GB.
Internally, the Fire TV Cube is similar to the Fire TV-pendant that Amazon launched last fall. New Look, new technology, the same specifications Amazon Fire TV Cube review: Clean hardware, but Alexa needs more tuning
