With Fire TV you get a trail period of Amazon Prime and after that you would pay a yearly fee. As with most streaming media providers such as Netflix you will pay a fee.

Best Answer

A:

The Fire TV box has wired and wireless internet (Stick only has wireless), Dolby Digital Plus and 5.1 surround sound (Stick only has Dolby Digital Plus), extra games that are too demanding for the Stick, it comes with the voice remote (stick comes with a normal remote), and has 2GB of memory (not storage - both come with 8GB storage, I'm referring to system memory used while running programs) instead of the Stick's 1GB. The Box is better if you're hooking it up to a home theater receiver.

Other than that, they both run typical things like Netflix and Amazon Video. Both can sideload programs like Kodi to make it a media center, or run emulators for games (although the Stick can't handle some of the more demanding games). For day-to-day use (eg. Netflix), the Stick does not run noticeably slower than the box.

The fire TV has a quad core processor and 8gb of internal memory
The fire TV stick has a dual core processor and 2gb of internal memory!
They both run the same operating system and have the same options!
Both are game consoles as well as streaming devices! The big difference
Is the Fire TV box has a USB port on the back that come in handy for external storage space and you can plug in a wireless keyboard to it as well!! They both are great devices and I highly recommend either!

A:

Fire stick install on a USB port directly connected to your TV. It does not have the same interface speed because the processor on the box is much better. The Box also has speech recognition.
The speed in which the box works and the speech feature are the 2 main and most compelling reasons to go with the box. You have to make sure you have a USB port on the tv for the Stick. Hope this helps.

A:

The simple answer is Fire TV has more available memory for apps and the voice search option for the remote. I have a Fire TV and a Fire Stick, both work fine on their respective TV's. I use more apps with the Fire TV and just watch tv and Netflix with the Fire Stick. Get the stick. If you like it and need extra memory for apps, then buy a Fire TV for a second tv in your house.

A:

While Roku has more channels directly from Roku the Amazon fire allows for side loading applications to make the possibilities endless. Also the specs side by side the FireTV offers a better processor and double the ram of the Roku 3. If you're not an expert there are many resources out there that will help you get the most out of your Fire TV. Another main benefit I like is the Amazon Fire Remote compared to the Roku3. The Roku 3 needs to be pointed more directly to the device where the fire TV feels a lot more responsive using Bluetooth. I sold my Roku 2 and 3 and have three Fire TV's now in my home.

Depends on your internet speed. If you have a lot of devices using wifi, it'll slow down the movie download bandwidth, considering if all tablets/phones/laptops/computer/game consoles are connected to your wifi.

I would suggest downloading the movie if everyone in your family is asleep and have it download itself overnight. And to turn off some devices that are using wifi for the mean time.

Pretty much, it's a system that allows you to use your TV like a smart TV, as long as you have a HDMI connection. The difference between the TV's is a smart TV comes with the ability to download apps, movies, etc. as a standard TV is just a TV. It operates on the amazon system and it works off a wi/fi connection or hardline but works best at a high speed.

Yes to your first question. A smart TV has WiFi built into it., with Fire TV your TV is no longer dumb as long as you do have the HDMI hook up on your old TV and you have a home WiFi network or can run a Ethernet cable from your router to the Fire TV. But if your TV is not HD then I would wait till I upgraded because you want get the full 1080p experience.

It is giving the tv the capability to connect thru the internet as a smart tv does but you have to go to the menu and click on what ever HDMI port you have the Amazon Fire TV module connected to and you should be able to watch the fire tv.

Sorry, the device only supports HDMI. So unless there is a conversion from RF/coaxial or Component then I fear not.

Yes if it has a DVI you can get the DVI to HDMI cable but will have to have a sound bar or receiver with optical outlet to get sound. That's what I've done with my old 2003 Samsung.
