Specs-wise, I wonder how the Amazon Fire TV Cube compares to my Amazon Fire TV 2nd Generation. I know the Cube will have 16GB memory compared to the 8GB of my 2nd Gen, but I'm curious to see how the processors compare. I'm not sure I want the Cube though as my Alexa devices go nuts around a TV due to commercials using her name or the other wakeup names. I really don't think I want a TV commercial changing channels, stopping a recording, turning entertainment devices on or off, etc. via the Cube. I currently use my Amazon Tap in the living room with it set to require the Tap button to be pushed and that keeps accidental activation at bay. I might pre-order the Cube then cancel after I get more information on it. I'm really curious how well it will control various devices. My guess it will not do a very thorough job since Alexa seems rather picky about which devices she works with.
