Amazon Fire TV is a big deal, but so too is Chromecast. Both aim to deliver great content to the larger screen, so which one’s a better fit?

From mobile to Tv, mirroring which is good?
I liked the MI smart tv which supports mirroring as well as casting . Firestick and google are worst in front of them
I want to hear the pros and cons of both. Not just pro's on fire stick and con's on chrome.
Chronecast looks like something from the stone age.
my DVR broke. so while waiting for FedEx to bring me a new one I subscribed to Netflix as a stop gap because my Sony blueray has the app on there. I showed every one how to use their phones as remotes. since then no one watches TV anymore. so much so that I'm thinking of cutting the cord on regular TV. However, I think Netflix's programming is so very limited vs before They dropped the DVD rental department of the service. I am trying out Amazon Prime for about a week now (again through the Blue ray player.) and all the cons of Amazon are there as listed in this comparison. However, if you want to exclude the option to buy the media that you want to stream in Amazon ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS use the filter option "show only included with PRIME." Then the awkward TV viewing experience is gone.
I'm thinking of keeping both Amazon Prime and Netflix and then cutting Cable.
Thanks for the video.
What is a good solution to stream youtube on a dumb TV while listening what's on the TV on a bluetooth headphone? Careful, the question looks simple, but it's actually really hard.
As started the video, the ad for chrome cast came…hmmm
Heres a screwing Buy a gift card get an app that is through Amazon ,YOU CANT USE THE GIFT CARD TO PAY FOR A SERVICE THROUGH THEM.
SCAM 25 dollars SCAMMED Dont Buy THE GIFT CARDS
there's no comparison, Firetv beats chromecast by far!
Amazon fire tv best for me because I getting for my birthday and its good from every vid I have watched about it
chrome cast I like it
brother.. i have got the Cadyce HD WIFI Streamer before the chrome cast was released… It is unlike any of the streaming devices you mentioned. it has its own wifi antena, so i can take anywhere i want to, and no need of an extra wifi router or so…. but i am thinking to shift to chromecast cause it is cheap, n small. also cadyce has skimming issues. it lags. i used "Allcast" app on android too. is it android problem or hardware problem… one major advantage of cadyce is that i do not need a wifi. i also can stream anything on my mobile/tab/computer(windows not mac- mac requires a download of a paid software) should i buy apple tv? or roku/fire. or wait till the technology still develops. casue just year and half back i got the cadyce for big 120 usd. that is expensive! please review that product or just let me know if that product is a dead product? cause i dont find much on that product
i have a chromecast 🙂
can you mirror your laptops screen to the fire tv? i know you can mirror androids…
The new update of chromecast lets the user cast the whole screen still a little glitchy but it is a beta version
amazon fire tv looks alot similar to the apple tv or is that just me?
chromecast is my choice
If you slow the speed down to 0.5, he sounds like he is drunk :p
Chromecast , you can't beat the price
Wouldn't it be better to compare the amazon product to appletv or roku instead of chromecast?
great review. very professional. refreshing to see smart people like yourself doing reviews rather than some d bag that knows hiw to open a box. thx again!
As an android guy who does happen to have his phone all the time, I think the Chromecast looks best.
Why does only roku get it right I personally like private listening so fire tv will not fit into my living space a Asus chromebox the original or i3 variant run circles around Amazon and chromecast. Once you upgrade ram on the chromebox and sync a Bluetooth speaker keyboard mouse etc you get why Amazon does not quite get it right for that price point. Where I would just buy a roku for the same price or buy a chromebox for $80 more.
I knew I had purchased a quality product. The Fire TV was very nicely packaged.
All the glossy black surfaces were protected with plastic strips. Both the smallish
power brick and the unit itself have gloss black sides.
Chromecast for 35 bucks…
Couldn't watch the whole video. The background music is so annoying. Ugh, just ugh.
Great info, moooorre.
I kinda dont get how this is a comparison. I can stream whatever I'm watching on my laptop to my chromecast. The firetv thing you have to choose between the different apps and then their shitty collection of media.
Amazon is a couple years to late with this device, at this price point of $99. With my 2 Chromecast, 2 Roku players and an Xbox 360, it just seems irrelevant. Maybe they should bundle it with prime membership, it couldn't hurt… just saying!
03:00 The YouTube text is wrong. It has to be YouTube with a big T, like PlayStation.
That was somewhat of a bias review, he sound like an Amazon sales Representative.
Correct me if I'm wrong but he left out an important detail…the PRICE!
this seems like a good review but switching between them so much left me confused until the end. other then that great video. also please stop the music, to repetitious. thanks for the info
Dude hardly spoke about chromecast …… (n) pretty biased to me
Great reviewer. Why haven't I seen this guy on here before?
Fire TV definitely offers more and Chromecast though cheaper is still in development as to growth and use. Chromecast has potential while the Fire has immediate use. But who is willing to pay for Amazon prime given its recent price hike to really benefit from this device? Also Roku, if you just want media offers better sell.
I don't have either but I want a fire TV cuz I know I would just use it more cuz it's Android and the control looks boss.
Chromecast no doubt. I've just recently purchased one and it's a great little thing to have. Much rather control the TV with my phone than have another remote lying around.
Chromecast vs Amazon Fire TV http://goo.gl/LK5lEq
With Amazon throwing its hat into the media streaming ring, it'll be interesting to see how it compares to the competition. Here's a look at the Chromecast vs Fire TV!
by @Kevin Nether
Beyond the use of a controller for gaming, what perks does this offer over the competition? Unless I'm missing something, this is virtually no different than roku.
Fire TV is WAY BETTER!!!!!
Yet another Roku-like device…
He talked more about the fire tv than the chromecast. I still don't know what the heck that thing really does.
Get chromecast from Amazon!!!
Definitely sticking with Chromecast
We have Chromecast and loving it!
is fire tv available in philippines?
What about Roku?
Chromecast…..WINNER 😀
Your videos have gotten better, great job man 🙂 Thanks for the video!
