Amazon's latest Fire TV is a mixture of the Fire TV Stick and the standard set-top box, not only in design (it now looks like a blocky Google Chromecast) but also the price. The Fire TV 2017 makes a great value option for anybody looking for a 4K HDR streamer. Like the previous Fire TV, the new model features Amazon's Alexa voice assistant.
