As I've been saying for a few years now, Jeff's programmers are not that bright. Even when they finally get Alexa to work pretty well, they screw it up again on the next update they program. I'm getting a large number of Alexa blue ring awakenings each day from words and even non-word sounds which in no manner come close to sounding like the word "Alexa". I'm getting major failures within Fire TV for voice commands using their remotes with Mic button, which is essentially Alexa too from what I understand. I finally gave up on asking Alexa via Mic button on Fire TV remote to "Tune to [PREFERRED CHANNEL]" because most of the time she either says okay but then does nothing at all or she says she cannot find that channel. I'm also miffed that Amazon has purposely rigged Alexa to take you to certain PAID content when you ask her general search questions for Fire TV regardless of using the Mic on the remote or an Echo device. And don't get me started on all my aggravation associated with trying to listen to and navigate within podcasts on Echo devices. A walleyed squirrel could have done a better job programming the podcast feature into Alexa!
