I have both, actually. A FireTV Stick that I take with me when I travel, and the newer model FireTV that is permanently connected to the main TV.

We watch a LOT of stuff on the FireTV, combining Prime, Acorn (HIGHLY recommended) and Starz (Which we'll likely drop.) And Netflix. And Hulu. In fact, just about the only thing we watch on our regular DVR is The National (CBC News) and sporting events.

I love that the Echo Dot in the Kitchen (within audio range of the Living Room where the TV and FireTV are) can now start and control shows and movies on the FireTV. "Alexa, play the next episode of The Heart Guy" and it's done. No fumbling for the right remote, it's just done. It's always seemed brain dead that the Dot and Alexa couldn't be used to control the FireTV, so this just makes sense.
