VLC is now available from the Fire TV app store, which while a bit buggy right now integrates better with the device than Kodi and won't make a mess all over the file system like Kodi does. |

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
Consumer perception favours OTT services, but as this will be evolutionary rather than revolutionary, stick to cable for now says risk analysis firm Moody:

I can see why they do it, but it's the same as Sky keeping HBO material for themselves or sports fans now having to pay for more than one provider. |
Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
Why shouldn't they be able to have exclusive content ?

Not really; Amazon/Netflix buy the rights to single shows from various networks. Sky have tied up the whole output of one network (HBO) for several years to come. Also, Amazon/ Netflix keep back episodes of the shows they first show on a weekly basis; Sky keep a paltry four episodes for a very limited viewing time. |
Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
I am pretty sure there have been many reports about Amazon playing hardball with studios and walking away from them if they can't sign exclusive content deals.
---------- Post added at 17:06 ---------- Previous post was at 15:43 ---------- Right Fire TV up and running Kodi is just scanning my librarys, addons added pretty much the same user experience as on the Nexus. I have to say though the Fire TV is hands down better in the app department there are actual apps to watch and stream UK TV and the store is much better laid out including reviews from users. The Play store on the nexus player is a bit horrid looking which is surprising as the Phone and Tablet one is so beautiful. Everything runs in nice 5.1+ from Amazon and netflix, I am a bit conflicted as to which one to put in the bedroom now. |

I wrote to HDFury in the States who design (and, I think manufacture) little boxes that take a signal from HDMI & output to component. One of their models, HDFury3, strips audio from the HDMI and passes it out via SPDIF in either stereo or 5.1. I asked if the HDFury3 could strip audio from the Amazon Fire and the response (paraphrased) was, 'no, the current device cannot extract DD+ which is output from Prime. A new device will be available to do so but DD+ is only output via HDMI. Standard DD is not a problem.' Hope that clears up any misunderstanding I've created. |
