U-Michal Ždanský Umdlali omusha ungene emakethe yamabhokisi okusakaza ku-TV, okwamanje ephethwe i-Apple nge-Apple TV yayo ne-ROKU. Izolo, i-Amazon yethule i-hardware yayo yakamuva yokuqukethwe kokusakaza, i-Fire TV, efuna ukunqoba ngayo igumbi lethu lokuhlala. Ngokufana ne-Apple TV, yibhokisi elincane elimnyama elidinga ukuxhunywa ku-inthanethi ne-TV nge-HDMI ukuze ufinyelele okuqukethwe i-Amazon okufanele ikunikeze. Ngokusho kukaJeff Bezos, i-hardware ngokwayo ishesha izikhathi ezintathu kuneminye imikhiqizo efanayo emakethe. Inikeza u-2 GB we-RAM, isekela ividiyo engu-1080p, futhi i-antenna ye-Wi-Fi ekabili enobuchwepheshe be-MIMO iqinisekisa i-inthanethi esheshayo.
Kodwa-ke, i-alpha ne-omega yanoma iyiphi idivayisi enjalo ingukuqukethwe engakunikeza, futhi i-Amazon ayisekho ngemuva. Ngaphezu kwezinkonzo zakudala ezifana Netflix noma IHulu Plus, nathi singazitholela ezethu lapha Ividiyo ye-Amazon Instant a Isiqophi Prime Esheshayo, lapho inkampani izonikeza nochungechunge olukhethekile oluyishumi, olufana ne Netflix inikeza House of Cards. Ngaphezu kwezinsizakalo zevidiyo ku-Fire TV, kuzophinde kube nezinsiza zokusakaza umculo - Pandora, IHeartRadio a TuneIn. E-Czech Republic, nokho, izinsizakalo eziningi azisebenzi nhlobo, ngakho-ke okuqukethwe ngeke neze kusidonse kakhulu.
I-Fire TV iphinde ibe nezinye izici ezithakazelisayo. Eyokuqala yazo isilawuli sezwi, esizosetshenziswa kakhulu ekusesheni. Isilawuli kude sihlanganisa imakrofoni kanye namagama amamuvi noma izingoma ozifunayo, isofthiwe engakwazi ukusesha kuwo wonke amasevisi, ingamane itshelwe. I-Amazon iqinisekisa ukuthi ukuqashelwa kokubizelwa kufanele kube nembe kakhulu. Isici sesibili esithokozisayo yi-X-Ray, engangeza ulwazi olusuka ku-IMDB kumamuvi adlalwayo noma amagama ezingoma emculweni.
Kodwa-ke, into ethakazelisa kakhulu ngayo yonke idivayisi ukusekelwa kwemidlalo, okwenza ihluke emncintiswaneni wayo kuze kube manje. I-Amazon izophinda ithengise isilawuli segeyimu ngokwehlukana kwe-Fire TV ngo-$39 Uhlelo lokusebenza lusekelwe ku-Android eguquliwe ne-HTML, ngakho abathuthukisi bazokwazi ukuthutha imidlalo yabo kumadivayisi we-Amazon TV. Ngemva kwakho konke Disney, Gameloft, EA, Sega, Ubisoft a Okuhle kabili sebevele bathembisa imidlalo yeFire TV. Njenge-Apple TV, idivayisi izothengiswa ngo-$99.
I-Amazon iqhamuke ne-Fire TV ngesikhathi nje kulindeleke isizukulwane esisha se-Apple TV, okumele, phakathi kwezinye izinto, sihlanganise nokusekelwa kwemidlalo. Njengoba i-Amazon ngokwayo inikeza inani elikhulu lokuqukethwe kwe-multimedia, ibhokisi lokusakaza liyisinyathelo esinengqondo ngemva kwamaphilisi. Kodwa-ke, i-Apple inenzuzo eyodwa enkulu kune-Fire TV - i-AirPlay, futhi i-Google iphinde inikeze iphrothokholi efanayo ku-Chromecast yayo. Kunoma yikuphi, i-Apple inokuncintisana okuthakazelisayo emkhakheni wezesekeli ze-TV, futhi kuzothakazelisa ukubona ukuthi yini eza nayo ngokumelene ne-Amazon.
