"Argue" was a figure of speech. I get tired of repeating and having to reword commands in the format she needs, whatever the hell that means! Every time they update her FW it can friggin' change.

Tomāto, tomäto... Again, you are being too literal. Whether you get "ads" per se or "suggestions for other videos" when Alexa cannot friggin' find what you want to watch, or chooses not to find it, it is the same thing. In either case you don't get what you ask for but instead you did get shown some stuff that you can rent or buy. I say ads, you say suggestions. Pretty much the same thing...

Your expensive Harmony hub has both BT and IR capability, and that is why it works with your BT Fire TV. For the record I have absolutely no trouble in "getting control of my stuff" but I hate having to jump through hoops and spend a small fortune to so and then still just having lackluster control.

everybody by any means...so double shrug.
