Amazon Fire TV (stylized as amazon fireTV) is a line of digital media players and microconsoles developed by Amazon since 2014.[12][13][14] The devices are small network appliances that deliver digital audio and video content streamed via the Internet to a connected high-definition television. They also allow users to access local content and to play video games with the included remote control or another game controller, or by using a mobile app remote control on another device.

The device is available in two form factors, the first being a set-top box, of which the current model is the Fire TV Cube with embedded Amazon Echo smart speaker (which effectively replaced the original Fire TV box model[15][16]). The other product is a HDMI plug-in stick with, in general, lesser specifications than the contemporaneous boxes;[12] these are offered in the entry-level Fire TV Stick Lite, the standard Fire TV Stick, and the high-end Fire TV Stick 4K and Fire TV Stick 4K Max (the third of which effectively replaced the third-generation "pendant" Fire TV[17][18][19]).[20] Additionally, Amazon licenses the Fire OS and Fire TV interface to be embedded and built into certain television sets from third parties sold to the public, labeled as Fire TV Edition.[21][22][23][24]
