Sending my Fire Tv box back today - unable to get any 5.1 sound out of it (via optical, don't know about HDMI because my equipment isn't suitable). Apparently I'm not alone, this has been a problem in the states since its release. I never was successful in getting 5.1 from Amazon Prime (as opposed to Amazon Instant Video) on any of my boxes (Netflix has been no problem whatsoever) and Amazon are very coy about telling people if they'll get 5.1 from Prime.

Had an Android M8 box which was great - sold that to a mate to replace it with the Fire, now I'm going to have to buy another M8.

Be careful out there!
