I also like that it's discreetly hidden away behind the TV as it just sticks into one of the HDMI ports. It does need a power source though which can be either a normal plug or a USB port if you've got one on your TV. The interface will also be familiar to you as the Now TV box is a stripped down Roku box.
Can't comment on the Amazon Fire TV but would imagine that to have all the same apps - theone can you confirm?

Amazon fire tv does not have itv player, nowtv or 4od at the moment it does have Stv,bbc,demand5, curzon cinema,netflix, tv player amongst others.
Sky have said Nowtv and Skygo is coming soon for Amazon firetv and Amazon have said they want every tv service on it.
Plex works flawlessly on Amazon fire tv and it is very easy to sideload XMBC onto it too which works great.
Also the DNS can be altered on Amazon fire tv which will enable services such as wwe network, hulu etc.
I mostly use my firetv as the quality imo is far more supreme than my roku or MX android box my roku1 gets used for nowtv and uk netflix.
I love the fact i can have tvplayer, zattoo, iplayer,netflix,hulu+,wwe network,espn,demand 5, xmbc all sitting alongside each other on one box.
