Pre-order Fire TV Stick with Alexa voice remote control from Amazon

Not just for lazy fans of Films and series the new Fire TV Stick with voice input is ideal for controlling multimedia content and the smart home. Because it's not just greasy popcorn fingers that are not ideal for operating the smart TV. This service can also be very useful for users with limited capacity to act, for people with corresponding disabilities or sick people who have to recover. And the bestseller can already be pre-ordered on Amazon:

Voice commands for Alexa remote, Fire TV and apps

Amazon already lists a few examples of voice commands on the product page on which you can order the Fire TV Stick with Alexa remote control. Here is a small selection. Extensive information, further features and voice commands can be found on the product page linked above.

How do you operate your Smart TV?

Are you already using a Fire TV Stick from Amazon or are you longingly waiting for the model with Alexa voice control to be released on April 20, 2017? Do you use another type of Smart TV service such as Apple TV? Feel free to leave a comment on the topic :)

Thanks for the contribution - interesting as always.
But I have one question: since we already have Apple TV (but rarely use it), I want to know whether we can use the Fire TV Stick in parallel, so to speak, can switch between the two devices as needed, or whether we can then remove Apple TV would have to.
Thanks in advance and LG
Bernhard

  Hello Bernhard! Yes, that's how I use it too. I also have the Apple TV, but mostly I use the Amazon Fire TV because the kids like to watch children's series there. I always change the HDMI cable on me, but on most televisions you switch it too. They usually have several HDMI inputs and then you switch the corresponding input using the remote control. If the TV doesn't have that, a cheap HDMI switcher like dieser hier. So it is not a problem to operate the two devices in parallel (and because of the different programs it makes sense). The nicest solution would of course be if you had an Amazon Prime Video app on the Apple TV, but that doesn't exist yet. For this reason, you have to live with the Fire TV first, which is also a solid piece of technology in itself. In any case, it streams quite reliably for me, even with a poor internet connection. LG! Jens
