Amazon Fire TV Cube

Amazon Alexa

Ask Alexa to turn on your TV, dim compatible lamps and play the desired program, even from the other side of the room. You can also control compatible devices such as your sound bar or AV receiver and
switch satellite channels via voice command. The device has a built-in microphone so you can ask Alexa for the weather report or turn off compatible lamps and more - even when the TV is off. With its powerful Hexa Core processor, Fire TV Cube provides instant access to 4K Ultra HD content and supports Dolby Vision and HDR, HDR10+ and Dolby Atmos. Watch your favourite shows from Prime Video, Netflix, YouTube, ARD, ZDF, ProSieben, DAZN, waipu.tv and others (may require a separate subscription). Fire TV Cube is designed to protect your privacy. To turn off power to the microphone, simply press the Microphone On/Off button. A Prime membership gives you access to thousands of movies and serial episodes, including Good Omens and Lucifer. Fire TV Cube comes with an Alexa voice remote that lets you control your TV silently.

Alexa lets you control Fire TV Cube compatible TVs, soundbars and AV receivers from brands like Samsung, Sony, LG, Sonos and more. You can also watch live TV channels with receivers from manufacturers such as Sky and Magenta.
Not all apps offer the same functionality for voice control. Many apps allow you to play, navigate and browse content with Alexa via Fire TV Cube, for example with voice commands like "Alexa, right" or "Select Alexa". Some apps, including Netflix, Prime Video, and YouTube, offer more comprehensive Alexa integration and allow you to search the app for language, access additional information about a particular title, and more. Fire TV Cube does not currently support Bluetooth connections to mobile phones. Note: Alexa-App is not available in the CH-AppStore. Certain functions only limited or not available

    The Amazon Fire TV Cube for around 120 euros combines two very successful product categories from Amazon: It is a Fire TV and Echo device in one. In testing, it does almost everything right. Control via remote control and voice work excellently, as does the control of a connected TV or sound system. This puts the streaming media player right at the top of the list of best products.
