The new Amazon Fire TV is a really cool device, that allows you to stream Amazon videos, Netflix, Hulu Plus, and WatchESPN. It also comes with a remote you can use with voice commands. My perspective is that if you don't already have a another device like a Roku or Apple TV, then it might be worth it. Especially if you are not an Amazon Prime member, since they are including a free one year membership. I would put this device as #2 or #3 best device to stream video directly to your tv. Why isn't it #1........?
