- CAdded App Buttons and Channel Guide Button are a nice touchThis is the newest Alexa Voice FireTV remote, for FireTV, FireTV Cube and FireStick devices.
*note- Please check the compatibility list in the description, because while this remote works for most of the newer Amazon FireTV devices, it does NOT work with the older 1st Gen FireTV. *
PROS:
APP BUTTONS: The biggest change is the inclusion of the “Preset App Buttons” toward the bottom of the remote. These four buttons automatically launch Prime Video, Netflix, Disney Plus, and Hulu. I tested them out and each seemed to work well, launching the apps quickly.
CHANNEL GUIDE BUTTON– This remote now has a Guide button (shaped like a little TV) to the right of the Volume buttons. We use a FireTV Recast to occasionally watch live TV, and this button pops up the Channel Guide so you can scroll through the live TV channels. After the recent FireTV homescreen menu change, it is pretty easy already to get to the Channel Guide from the Home page, but still, this makes it even easier.
CONS:
COST: At $30, this remote isn't exactly cheap. It works well, but might not be worth that price depending on your needs.
OVERALL: This is a great remote, but I'm not sure if it is worth it to upgrade from a previous generation remote just for the added App Buttons and the Guide Button. We personally have found these buttons to be a nice touch though, as they might save you a second or two of scrolling. If you have an older remote that you were thinking about replacing anyway, then I would definitely recommend getting this one. (Also, keep in mind you CAN add this as a second remote to your FireTV Cube if you want, without getting rid of the first one, and you can use them both. We are currently doing that with one of our TVs, because we tend to misplace the remote anyway and having two that both work seems to be less of a headache.) - Valerie BurtonMy internetDidn’t get a chance to hook it up yet because the remote wasn’t no good so they are replacing it I sure received it bye Tuesday
- TomSBravia? Gotta Have This Remote!I recently purchased a Sony Bravia 8 to replace an older one. There are numerous things I hate about this TV, almost all related to software and features, but the remote was at the top of the list. Not intuitive, slow, difficult to set up, and more.
I bought this Alexa Voice Remote to replace Sony's nasty ineffective one. This remote is great! I had to install the FireTV app on my phone to get it programmed, but after that I no longer needed the app. The remote is fast, logically laid out, and very intuitive.
I'm a happy camper. Sony should be ashamed. - SamuelIf only this superior emote could crack Apple's / Siri's proprietary ecosystemThis remote is almost identical with the one that came with my Alexa Cube--same dimensions, same weight, more sensitive voice recognition, plus instant connections to Prime Video, Netflix, Disney+ and Hulu. The directions for set-up are in tiny, busy print. Best to have both your first and this new remote handy during the set-up process and to familiarize yourself with the controls (my first attempt failed because I mistook the new colored (blue) Voice button for the "Home" button. If you can't find your original remote, no problem. Simply follow the 2nd set-up instructions for those without the original remote. And rest assured that any mistake can be erased by removing / reinserting the batteries and starting over.
I was surprised--once I'd identified the "Home" button--to see my TV screen go into a mode conforming to the sequence described in the instructions. I saw a list of my "old" remotes and--after depressing the designated buttons and waiting the requisite number of seconds--soon saw an option for introducing my new remote to the previous ones used to access the apps showing on my Sony TV. There actually is electronic circuitry in the new remote that searches, finds and connects. Just don't rush it, but also don't be hesitant about indicating your choice when you're asked to make the selection.
On the down-side, the soft, bright acrylic cover that I purchased for the original remote, is a poor fit for the new remote--unless you cut out sufficient material to expose the additional 4 app buttons. Also, if you're satisfied with your original remote, this new one--at a cost almost equal to if not greater than the price of a Fire TV stick or an Echo Dot 3rd Gen--should probably be seen as excessive.
Do not expect the instructions to cover more than set-up, even though there are 20 buttons to learn prior to achieving total command of your new Alexa remote. I had planned to take the new remote for a spin and, upon failure, to return it. Fortunately, it instantly heard my instructions--"Alexa, Take me to Midsomer Murders, Season 3, Episode 4"--and translated them into fast, accurate results." It even passed the most critical test--viz., not requiring more time fussing with the gadget than time saved by using the gadget.
Gets a qualified recommendation. Again, Alexa is a more compatible partner and better learner--at least in my experience--than Apple's Siri. Apple apparently believes its. buyer should pay 4 X the price (minimally) and spend 10 X the time entering letters (digitally and vocally). BUT Apple has commandeered apps and programs like Spectrum, which is inaccessible to Amazon's remotes and streamers as well as to streaming devices / sets with TCL or Roku. You may be forced to struggle with Apple's painstaking video equipment for entry into Apple's ecosystem. - Kindle CustomerQuick and Works great!Cost more than the clones but it works. No problems. Got to me quickly and have had no problems with setup or operations. Can not say enough good things about this remote!
