Amazon Fire TV Stick UK Drops To 25 Pounds
Amazon's Fire TV Stick, a rival to the Google Chromecast and Roku Streaming Stick, is now available in the UK. And IF you want to buy a cheap streaming TV stick, maybe Fire TV Stick is your another choice for £25 in UK.
The Fire TV Stick plugs directly into your TV (or a monitor with an HDMI port) and connects to your router so you can stream content over the internet. It comes with services such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Instant Video, Spotify and Plex.
Unlike the Chromecast, the Fire TV Stick comes with a physical remote control but can also be controlled via an Android app. The iOS app is coming soon. If you like, you can buy the Amazon Fire TV Voice Remote control for use with the Fire TV Stick but voice search is available on the app.
If you're not a Prime member, then the Fire TV Stick is a good way of trying the 30-day trial and Amazon touts access to 200,000 TV episodes and movies, millions of songs, and hundreds of games via the device.
Amazon boasts that the Fire TV has four times the storage (8 GB) and twice the memory (1 GB) of the Chromecast. It also features a dual-core processor and dual-band Wi-Fi with MIMO (multiple input multiple output).
As we noted in our original review, there's a lot to like about Amazon's HDMI dongle. Unlike Google's Chromecast, it comes with a dedicated remote and a fleshed-out TV interface, which should appeal to homeowners looking for a traditional set-top box experience. It also comes with a 30-day Prime trial, which is just enough time to binge-watch the best movies and TV shows on Prime Instant Video. It's not clear yet if this is a temporary or permanent price-cut, so if you're interested, best order now just in case Amazon jacks it up again.
