There is no clunky entering of a code or anything like that just hold down the “home” button on the remote or controller for a few seconds, and you’re off. It’s still a smoother Bluetooth setup than most. The Bluetooth remote pairs relatively easily mine was a little slow to respond until I walked around the backside of the box.

The setup for the Fire TV is remarkably simple, although the package does not include an HDMI cable, which I find annoying, although not uncommon. The two streaming devices have similar designs - and designs on your regular purchasing. With its design and $99 price, the device pretty clearly targets the Apple TV as its primary competition.

The packaging and the hardware are tidy, premium and elegant. That’s not to say the Fire TV isn’t likable. I prefer streaming that is content-neutral, or that at least allows me to find the best deal. In reality, the Fire TV is a small, flat, matte black Trojan horse intended to sell you even more Amazon goods than you already buy. OSTENSIBLY, the new Amazon Fire TV is a streaming media set-top box - an Internet-connected device that lets you watch video from Amazon Instant Video, Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, Crackle or a few other outlets and play games with or without a controller, which is sold separately.
