re: Amazon Fire TV Cube, release date 6/21

Wish this was in the shape of a sound bar or something mountable. All of my TVs are mounted flat against the wall with no shelving and some have sound bars. Guess I’m sticking with regular fire TVs that can be hidden behind the TV.

I would expect that to change in the future though.
Roku/Fire/Chromecast built in is what the budget TVs are doing as a differentiator these days and I would expect that trend to kill "homegrown" smart TVs for everyone except maybe Samsung. They have developer assets in place already because of their phones and probably want to maintain control.

Experience true-to-life picture quality and sound with access to vivid 4K Ultra HD up to 60 fps, HDR, and the audio clarity of Dolby Atmos.
I will never buy another Fire TV. Nvidia Shield all the way.
and good luck watching youtube not in a browser on this. IT is like you are back in the early 2000s.

I'm a little surprised they didn't increase specs much from the dongle.
I wish they did. I still kind of want a better media streamer, but the convenience of Echo is tough to pass up.

The only thing that really beats this is probably the Shield. Ugh. I really want a Shield,

and I worry about the long term support.

Am I the only person who thinks streaming and smart tv apps run better off devices like the PS4, Xbox One, Fire TV.. etc, than they do off an actual smart tv?
I thought this as well until I tried a TCL Roku TV.

one thing at a time. my winegard eave mount just came in and now i have to go climb on my roof to hang an antenna and not die, then route the coax through my house to an hdhomerun box i have no idea where i'm putting and then have to run an ethernet cable and i don't have any spare cable or crimping tool right now.
Posted on 6/7/18 at 5:02 pm to CAD703X
dude, did you not have a satellite dish on your house? how i wired mine i just wired the coax to a 2 way spliter. put the tuner on one and the other went to the rest of the house encase i ever needed the coax in any room to have OTA cable. but every room has my plex.

Amazon Fire TV Cube, release date 6/21
I want to like it. However, I absolutely despise the UI on the Fire TV sticks.
Roku, IMO, has them easily beat.

Ordered one why not will move one of my echos to garage

I wonder if Google will release something similar?
I use my Home minis and a Harmony hub. Does literally the same thing.
