Amazon’s Fire TV Cube is a glimpse at Alexa-controlled entertainment, but it needs work

Sleek and compact design • Alexa works even when soundbar is playing loudly right next to it • Super easy setup process • Comes with Ethernet adapter and IR extender cable

Not all apps support full Alexa voice controls • Not compatible with projectors • Can’t control channels picked up OTA via TV antenna • No option for ‘Nintendo’ for switching inputs • Doesn’t work with universal remotes like Harmony Hub

Amazon’s Fire TV Cube is a good glimpse at how Alexa can be used to control your home entertainment system, but it’s in need of a lot of polish.
