Amazon Fire Stick Tv: Review

-


I was excited when Fire Stick TV was launched in India and always wanted to get one. So after contemplating between chrome-cast and Fire Stick I zeroed in on Latter. Now after a month it’s regularly used by my family members and at last I can see TV without lot of unwanted advertisement. 

Amazon bundles it in a pretty compact box with a dongle, remote control , USB charger ,HDMI extender and AAA amazon branded batteries. Product feels sturdy in hand and doesn’t feels flimsy. Plugging the Dongle to HDMI port of TV is a breeze . Except my Sony LED is a ugly designed TV with HDMI part right behind the center so I cant blame amazon for it. Setting up dongle is very easy and it connects with your Wi-Fi very easily. Once it boots your eyes lit up as you see attractive design of Amazon on your tv.  

Bang for buck

Things I liked about Fire Stick:-


  •  Easy to use. Remote is intuitive and anyone can browse through catalogue of media content available . My mother who is more than 60 years old easily sees full Punjabi comedy movies on the YouTube app.
  •   Plethora of content. Amazon Prime video has a mammoth collection .Along with that you get Voot/HotStar and Youtube etc.Once you get hooked to this magical piece you won’t like viewing your OLD DTH box again.
  • Picture quality is great and 100 times better than HD content served on my Videocon d2h. Youtube, amazon prime works like a charm on my Connect Broadband with Bandwidth of 4Mbps. They have optimized device to work on low bandwidth. With emerging 4g connectivity at economical prices data should not be a issue.
  • Bluetooth Connectivity is magical. I connect it with my JBL wireless speaker and you can say bye bye to ugly sound of LED TV speakers.
  • Amazon Prime at 500 INR per year is not bad to see the never ending content.
  • It has a collection of fantastic screen-savers as well so your TV ends up doubling as a digital painting.

Things which can be improved.


  • In USA it’s available at nearly INR 2500 where as in India you have to shell out INR 3,999. 500 Rs cashback works as ointment.  
  • They can improve the quality of voice based search   and apps like Voot /Youtube /HotStar can be improved. It’s more of a software improvement though.
  • Miracast will not work on Google Proprietary devices like MotoG/Nexus. I own them both. However if you have other brands like Xioami/Samsung it will work on them. In that regard it  is a chrome-cast killer.  
Verdict:

So if you are going to get one for yourself , just do it and it will be a good investment to convert your NON Smart TV to smart TV!

The Other Wes Moore:One name and two fates Do you have the answer??

-
“When it is time for you to leave this school, leave your job, or even leave this earth, you make sure you have worked hard to make sure it mattered you were even here.”  I was thinking deep when I finished reading this book. I tried to answer the question but I couldn’t figure out the right answer. I wonder whether there is a right answer or not.  Flashback:  A month back I was strolling in my workplace. I took it as excuse as I was tired by sitting and wanted to take doses of vitamin she. So as a predator I hunted in the wild jungle and my eyes socket were looking for a pretty prey who can  recharge my eye balls who were tired by looking at the dull computer screen for long time. During this strategic planning I met another hunter, Kunal Pundir and I stated doing some chit-shit chat with him. He told me there is a book called The other Wes Moore: One name and two fates and gave me a brief introduction about it. I watched the rating on Amazon an...

Khaleesi teaches Management, Game of thrones:-

I must confess that I recently started watching game of thrones, and was blown away by it. As my friend “ American Obama ” puts it “Game of Thrones is competing in league of its own”.   During  five seasons I was impressed by one character Daenerys Targaryen popularly known as “Khaleesi”. Having studied management I was curious on sharing my thoughts on “What Khaleesi teaches us about Management” Personal Branding Khaleesi also known as dragon mother is known across 7 kingdoms for owning Dragons. Dragons are the most powerful weapons in the entire series though no one has seen them in action for long time.Dragons are her core competency, no one else owns them.  Khaleesi positions herself as a compassionate yet stern leader who does not entertain cock and bull story.   She brings and end to slavery in Slaver's Bay commands, respect command of Dothrak and leads the dragon too. The way Khaleesi emerges from a timid girl who is married to “Khal Dr...

The Unforgiving Minute: Encore Encore-

-
“If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run - Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!” -Rudyard Kipling In my previous posts ( http://tinyurl.com/8y8gdyf ) I have expressed my inclination towards war literature.  But my urge to read more about it never finishes. So once I saw rating of this Epic written by CRAIG M. MULLANEY on Amazon I was interested to get my hands on it. A hard bounded edition over 370 pages is indeed a saga of virtue, valor and victory \0/. Craig’s story is honest to the core and redefines the true spirit of courage and leadership.  It shows the camaraderie between men living in toughest of conditions which forms the basis of brotherhood and “Hand grenade effect” ( http://tinyurl.com/8y8gdyf ). Entire book is divided into three parts “Students”, “Soldier” and “Veteran”  and each takes you towards the preparation of author for the ultimate l...
