Very interesting

I suspect the initial Siri capabilities may be superior eg the "what did she say?" Demo

Also Apple's controller appears a better entry level as a games controller

Now this feature sounds amazing...

I ordered one.  It does more than movies.  It will also stream Prime music and one's purchased music.

If it supports Netflix 4K then I'd probably buy it just for that. And use Apple TV for everything else.

It has the PLEX app too which I believe has been submitted to Apple too!

Morning Guys

Just ordered mine as it will replace my Kodi Android Box too!!

What do I need to buy to allow my BeoRemote to control the Fire Tv as i don't think it has an IR?
