Amazon announces Fire TV
http://sourcefed.com/amazon-announces-fire-tv/

Amazon has dove in head first into video hardware, announcing it’s new set-top device: Amazon Fire TV.

Clearly a competitor for Apple TV and Roku, the $99 device is an internet-connected set-top box which uses voice commands that you speak into its remote control. It will also serve as a gaming console, and consumers have the option to purchase a separate $39 controller that is paired with the box.

Amazon has claimed the device is 3 times more powerful than Apple TV and is based on Android and HTML 5, which means it should be easy for companies to bring their apps over to the platform. It supports Hulu Plus, Netflix, Pandora, Youtube, Crackle, iHeartRadio and Vevo. Sadly, HBO Go and Vudu are not supported.

Fire TV also has a predictive engine called “ASAP,” which pre-loads content it thinks you are going to watch, so it can start without any buffering or load time. This feature learns over time and gets better at suggesting content you like.

In a prior announcement made this weekend, Amazon said it will be turning six shows from its Amazon Originals program into a full series. The shows, which were selected after viewer feedback from the pilot episodes, include ’The After’, ‘Bosch, Gortimer Gibbon’s Life on Normal Street’, ‘Mozart in the Jungle’, ‘Transparent’ and ’Wishenpoof’. Amazon also renewed ’Alpha House’ — starring John Goodman — for a second season.

As far as gaming is concerned, the console will offer titles such as “Minecraft” and “The Walking Dead”. Many of the titles will be free or cost a little as $1.85 to play.

Have you used this combination? Because MLB.TV says you have to authenticate with a cable account. It's not just a location issue, you have to log in with cable account credentials. Does the region unlock not prompt for authentication because it doesn't think the person is in the US? I'd want to know how that works....

Quote:
*Eligible subscribers in the U.S. must authenticate through their supported Pay TV provider. A one time authentication is required.
Check your Pay TV provider availability. All games not available from all participating Pay TV providers - learn more.

Eligible MLB.TV subscribers must receive the network listed below through one of the Pay TV providers listed for each game in the grid below.

Correct. I've used AFT for MLB.TV, NHL GameCenter Live, and NFL Game Pass, and all work great.

I'm not 100% sure of this, but I believe that the need to log in with a TV provider only applies if you're trying to get free content anyway (that you already have access to with your cable subscription). If you're paying for it, you never need to - it's just that stuff shown locally on cable will be blacked out if they think you're in the U.S..

Quote:
Authenticated Access to National Games and Events. Certain MLB games and events, such as the All-Star Game and select MLB Postseason games, broadcast nationally by Fox may be available for live streaming via MLB.TV to those subscribers who are also eligible customers of a participating cable or video service provider ("Authenticated Access"). MLB.TV subscribers who are not able to authenticate with a participating cable or video service provider, as determined by the applicable provider, will be blacked out from live streaming of these nationally broadcast games or events.

Just ordered the Amazon Fire TV | Streaming Media Player.

What's some things I should do with it? Install Kodi? Anything else?

installing Kodi is the only thing you need. get it set up properly and you wont need cable, Netflix, hulu, or anything besides an internet connection.

Usually as a solution to sexual boredom.
