In case you didn’t already know it, Amazon has designs on taking over your television, and Fire TV seems a strong competitor to the refreshed Apple TV. Fire TV’s big advantage is that it can stream video in ultra high-definition 4K resolution, while Apple’s device cannot. Nor can Roku or Chromecast. Fire TV also has voice control in the form of Alexa, which one could use to check the weather or sports scores while watching a show on Netflix. Storage is just 8 GB, but it’s expandable with a memory card.
