Chromecast, Kodi, Roku, Apple TV, Nvidia shield, fire TV, etc.
Fire TV firmware also just gets worse and worse with each new version. Netflix app also follows suit.
Does it? I've never had one. I have a Kodi box and a Chromecast. I'll be sure to avoid the fire brand, then.
The one saving grace is that it's cheap and you can install Kodi on it.
I have a Fire Stick and a newer Vizio TV. For a while I could tell Alexa to turn in the TV: the Fire Stick would turn on, then use HDMI-CEC to turn on the TV and select its input. Worked great and I didn’t have to deal with Vizio
Then at some point Alexa started controlling the TV itself instead. Now I have to choose whether to deal with Vizio or to do more clicks to get to my streaming device. I really need to figure out how to get the original configuration back
