There’s the usual frustration of trying to enter the password using a remote control that doesn’t have a keyboard. To set the Fire TV Stick up, you simply plug in all the hardware and follow the instructions to pair with the remote control.Īfter running through the usual language settings, you then connect to the best Wifi source you have. It has Alexa based voice control built in, as you’d now expect from Amazon, and can also be used to control basic functions on some TVs and soundbars, like power and volume. There is also an IR and Bluetooth based emote control that comes as part of the offering. The setup is all pretty discrete and unremarkable.
It is powered by a mains adapter that plugs into the wall. Handily it also comes with a HDMI extender in the box, in case space is a problem. The device comes in the form of a USB-style stick, with a HDMI connector on the end, which plugs into the back or side of your TV. The latest version comes with 4K and an Alexa enabled remote control.
It offers much of what the Google competitor does, but with an Amazon slant of course. Well, Amazon has its own similar version of the device - known as the Fire TV Stick. Before Christmas we reviewed the latest version of the Google Chromecast, which now comes with a remote control and access to Google TV.
