I already have a fire stick, I like what it's supposed to do. Unfortunately it only does it when it want's. Disconnects from the wifi on a daily basis and takes an age to get it to reconnect. Factory reset hasn't helped. It also randomly switches itself off, and if it does that, you have to leave it for at least 3 hours before it'll entertain the idea of doing anything again. I've a lot of reviews online with the same issue, and no support from amazon.

It's the latest version, with the alexa voice control, much to our amusement when my son wanted to watch 'Really big trains', but it misunderstood his voice, search results appeared for willy big trains.
A member has given me his old Now TV box, and while it hasn't got prime tv on it, it does everything else we want, and hasn't crashed or lost connection once so far.
