My lord this thing is trash
I got it with singing up for DTVnow
Ive already plugged my Gen 2 back in. I'll order the ethernet adapter which should improve streaming quality but for now the Gen 2 runs much better.
No usb port so ill probably order a splitter as well. Was excited for this version bc the HDR support but so far very let down.

Mine has been working fine for a month or so now. Barely notice the difference between this one and the bigger gen 2.

did you buy the ethernet adapter?

Mine has been working fine since they came out. I have a basement TV with no access to ethernet.
Runs fine for me.

I just can't do the OS anymore. Netflix is starting to be just as bad. I like the pinwheel approach but do we really need 40 different categories?

No. I probably will eventually but it’s got good signal and I get like 100mb+ with Cox

I notice a pretty big difference with picture quality running Vue and Netflix, and its about five feet from my router.
If anything its not a gen 2 fire tv upgrade but more of an upgrade on the fire stick.

Ha well I was going to get one more but I guess I’ll wait until it’s all figured out then.

amazon really screwed the pooch on this one. i have gen 1 and 2 at home. fantastic devices i still use regularly. it seems this new firetv is barely better than a stick. if i end up getting the 3rd gen it will be for my tiny kitchen tv .
