I still say it is a total POS. My Sony Bravia has three HDMI input ports. I've used those ports with a LOT of devices over the past few years, and no other device has prevented my TV from changing HDMI port selection, nor locked out all TV menu and volume settings. Pure junk! And good lord what an effing crappy picture it gives me. I'm used to DVD quality or better with U-Verse and my Apple TV, and superb video quality with Blu-Ray, but the Fire TV Stick delivers what looks like 720i (not 720p) that has been upscaled. It looks horrible and it looks extremely dark. Shadows are everywhere in the video. I like shopping at Amazon, but I think this is the last crappy Amazon device I will buy. Their tablets suck, their phone is a joke, their eInks are not that good, and now this POS takes the cake as far as garbage design goes. I'll stick with running the Amazon Prime Video app on my Mac Mini and streaming it to my TV via Apple TV. That is clunky, but at least it works well and looks good.
