The Amazon Fire TV Streaming Media Set-Top Box - NYTimes.com

Another mixed-bag Fire TV review

"OSTENSIBLY, the new Amazon Fire TV is a streaming media set-top box — an Internet-connected device that lets you watch video from Amazon Instant Video, Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, Crackle or a few other outlets and play games with or without a controller, which is sold separately.

In reality, the Fire TV is a small, flat, matte black Trojan horse intended to sell you even more Amazon goods than you already buy. I prefer streaming that is content-neutral, or that at least allows me to find the best deal. This is not that box."
