Fire TV Cube

I just bought the Fire TV Cube (was down temporarily to $90). Had to buy HDMI cable separately, but it's a much better one than what came with the Fire TV box gen 1.

In the end, when I paired the Show 5 to the old fire tv, it played the sound for Amazon, Britbox and Acorn but Netflix was silent.

The new cube will not play sound from my TV but I was able to pair my gen 1 Echo and it plays audio for all shows, including Netflix. I have not set up the Alexa part of the cube, because I think it's going to mess with the Echo speaker I am using for audio. But when I talk to the Echo, the blue light comes on the cube as well.

I need a lot of streaming shows during this who-knows-how-long Trump Covid-19 virus pandemic. I'm in the epicenter, NYC.
