withak posted:I had one for a week or two in May and ended up returning it because it wasn't worth $99 over the Roku that I already have. I didn't like how the UI buried the free Prime movies in the middle of a million not-free movies, and the Plex app was glitchy as hell. Jumping through hoops and command-line dev tools is kinda XBMC & Android in a nutshell though. The Prime stuff should be fixed in the update that's rolling out now.

kloa posted:My only other gripe is Netflix needs to update their app to the much better looking interface Yeah, this doesn't make much sense, I'm assuming there is a version of the Netflix android app that doesn't look like butt?

The Gunslinger posted:Have they updated the Netflix app at all? The last time I used it on the FireTV it looked like the generic app that all of the Chinese media players get or something. It is still using a weird "not the same as everyone else" app for reasons unknown.

Call Me Charlie posted:You can adjust the overscan in the settings of the Fire TV. I've also found that how apps deal with the overscan correction on the firetv varies wildly. It ended up being easier to just leave it at the default and deal with it vs dealing with the random behavior on an app by app basis (some apps would end up with black border, some would end up cut off, some would be a-ok).

Falco posted:Does anyone have a good option for AirPlay on the Fire Tv? I currently use an Apple TV 2 with XBMC for our media streaming box, but it's getting pretty sluggish and is having a lot of buffering issues lately. I'm really liking what I see with the Fire TV, but would really like to retain the ability to AirPlay from our phones or iPad to the Fire TV. There's also 3rd party airplay receiver apps on the Amazon Appstore for the Fire TV, although I can't speak to how well they actually work.

Rurutia posted:Does anyone know if the Superbowl will be available on either ESPN or NBC Live Extra (Or even Fox Sports?)? I have a Xfinity Log in with the sports package and I have Xfinity sideloaded onto a Fire TV Stick. Just wondering if I can host our Superbowl party before embarrassing myself. According to this article, yes via NBC Live Extra. I dunno what Xfinity on a firetv stick shows up as, I'm assuming a tablet? quote:NBCUniversal has announced a promotion called “Super Stream Sunday, which allows consumers to stream 11 continuous hours of content related to the Super Bowl on Sunday, February 1st. NBC’s live stream programming includes the Super Bowl XLIX game between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots; the halftime show starring Katy Perry and Lenny Kravitz; the pre- and post-game shows; and the midseason debut of The Blacklist TV show. http://www.forbes.com/sites/amitchowdhry/2015/01/21/watch-super-bowl-xlix-online/

Rurutia posted:Ok. Thanks, I saw the mobile device restriction and got nervous. Yeah, verizon has exclusive rights for phones, so hopefully should be good with the fire stick.
