This is a far more measured praise of the Fire TV than you initially gave:

"the price actually is rather aggressive"

"This thing could be $120 and still be a better value, imo, but $100 makes it a no-brainer"

"Fire TV is such a clear choice that's it's almost unfair"

"The only substantial thing I see keeping people holding on to Roku is HBO-Go, and I don't see that being the case for long."

So what happened?
