Amazon Fire TV Update Gets More Than Just Alexa

Earlier today, we did bring you word on how the original Fire TV from Amazon would be on the receiving end of the Alexa assistant (which is available on the 4K Fire TV, but won’t be extensible as it is on the Amazon Echo), and while that is fine and dandy, this does not mean that that is all there is to it in the update. No sir, for the next few weeks to come, Fire TV customers who take advantage of the free over-the-air software update will be able to enjoy improvements to the Amazon Video add-on subscription service as well, which includes an easier method for one to sign-up, discover and access your Amazon Video add-on subscriptions.

Not only that, one will also be able to enjoy Bluetooth headphone support for Fire TV Stick devices – this will be new, as it was available previously on Fire TV devices only, which will open up the door for private listening as one enjoys one’s favorite shows, TV programs or games.

How will this change your experience with the Amazon Fire TV? Only if you download and apply the update will you able to figure it out. All the best with the update, and hopefully your wireless audio experience with the Fire TV Stick will make life more convenient!
