Now I don’t own this particular model, but I have to disagree with the last three. The user interface is great, I don’t know how the picture could be awful, but as I don’t have a 4K TV, then I doubt it’s any worse the the 1st Gen Fire TV. HDMI cable is short on purpose, so you could just hang it off your TV, and there are adapters available (just like there are for the Ethernet port). Don’t forget that this retails for $69.99 or $30 less than the original Fire TV.
The Ethernet adapter is $14.99
And the HDMI Adapter is $7.49
If you buy the Fire TV at the retail price of $69.99 and add the HDMI adapter for $7.49 and the Ethernet Adapter for $14.99 you still end up $7.52 ahead.
Also the Fire TV Stick is also on sale for $24.99

@doctordiscount Just curious…what is an SD slot useful for with a streaming media player?
-
@john99 SD was for apps, games, videos.

Set mine up last night, it was very simple to do. Now just need to figure out its ins and outs and how to get my Echo to work with it.

For me getting the Fire TV connected to my Echo was simply adding the Fire TV to my Alexa app. I use Alexa via my Echo all the time to control my TV. Talk about lazy… I hardly ever pick up the remote.

I doubt it would work for Kodi, only amazon and netflix right? And even then you’d need the remote to put in the parental control code wouldn’t you?

Unfortunately I don’t use the two things you mentioned - Kodi and parental controls. I primarily use Amazon, Netflix and now the Firefox app to access YouTube. Even if Alexa hasn’t worked on a specific app (i.e. it doesn’t find YouTube inside Firefox), the voice control to pause, play, etc…works through the Echo once the content is playing.
So for me I really did just add the Fire TV to my Alexa app and was good to go.
I hope others can help answer this since I plan to install Kodi at some point.
