  1. I liked the MI smart tv which supports mirroring as well as casting . Firestick and google are worst in front of them

  2. I'm a travel agent and I'm a new subscriber. I'm excited about seeing what you present next! I'm in the market to cut the cable so I'm looking at my options.

  3. my DVR broke. so while waiting for FedEx to bring me a new one I subscribed to Netflix as a stop gap because my Sony blueray has the app on there. I showed every one how to use their phones as remotes. since then no one watches TV anymore. so much so that I'm thinking of cutting the cord on regular TV. However, I think Netflix's programming is so very limited vs before They dropped the DVD rental department of the service. I am trying out Amazon Prime for about a week now (again through the Blue ray player.) and all the cons of Amazon are there as listed in this comparison. However, if you want to exclude the option to buy the media that you want to stream in Amazon ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS use the filter option "show only included with PRIME." Then the awkward TV viewing experience is gone.

    I'm thinking of keeping both Amazon Prime and Netflix and then cutting Cable.

    Thanks for the video.

  4. What is a good solution to stream youtube on a dumb TV while listening what's on the TV on a bluetooth headphone? Careful, the question looks simple, but it's actually really hard.

  5. Heres a screwing Buy a gift card get an app that is through Amazon ,YOU CANT USE THE GIFT CARD TO PAY FOR A SERVICE THROUGH THEM.
    SCAM 25 dollars SCAMMED Dont Buy THE GIFT CARDS

  6. brother.. i have got the Cadyce HD WIFI Streamer before the chrome cast was released… It is unlike any of the streaming devices you mentioned. it has its own wifi antena, so i can take anywhere i want to, and no need of an extra wifi router or so…. but i am thinking to shift to chromecast cause it is cheap, n small. also cadyce has skimming issues. it lags. i used "Allcast" app on android too. is it android problem or hardware problem… one major advantage of cadyce is that i do not need a wifi. i also can stream anything on my mobile/tab/computer(windows not mac- mac requires a download of a paid software)  should i buy apple tv? or roku/fire. or wait till the technology still develops. casue just year and half back i got the cadyce for big 120 usd. that is expensive! please review that product or just let me know if that product is a dead product? cause i dont find much on that product

  7. great review. very professional. refreshing to see smart people like yourself doing reviews rather than some d bag that knows hiw to open a box. thx again!

  8. Why does only roku get it right I personally like private listening so fire tv will not fit into my living space a Asus chromebox the original or i3 variant run circles around Amazon and chromecast.  Once you upgrade ram on the chromebox and sync a Bluetooth speaker keyboard mouse etc you get why Amazon does not quite get it right for that price point.  Where I would just buy a roku for the same price or buy a chromebox for $80 more.

  9. I knew I had purchased a quality product. The Fire TV was very nicely packaged.
     All the glossy black surfaces were protected with plastic strips. Both the smallish
     power brick and the unit itself have gloss black sides.

  10. I kinda dont get how this is a comparison. I can stream whatever I'm watching on my laptop to my chromecast. The firetv thing you have to choose between the different apps and then their shitty collection of media.

  11. Amazon is a couple years to late with this device, at this price point of $99. With my 2 Chromecast, 2 Roku players and an Xbox 360, it just seems irrelevant. Maybe they should bundle it with prime membership, it couldn't hurt… just saying!

  12. That was somewhat of a bias review, he sound like an Amazon sales Representative.
    Correct me if I'm wrong but he left out an important detail…the PRICE!

  13. this seems like a good review but switching between them so much left me confused until the end. other then that great video. also please stop the music, to repetitious.  thanks for the info

  14. Fire TV definitely offers more and Chromecast though cheaper is still in development as to growth and use. Chromecast has potential while the Fire has immediate use. But who is willing to pay for Amazon prime given its recent price hike to really benefit from this device? Also Roku, if you just want media offers better sell.

  15. Chromecast no doubt. I've just recently purchased one and it's a great little thing to have. Much rather control the TV with my phone than have another remote lying around.

  16. Beyond the use of a controller for gaming, what perks does this offer over the competition? Unless I'm missing something, this is virtually no different than roku.
