Thanks for this Peter, it sounds very positive.

I've been looking at the Firestick 4K for a while now as my new Toshiba 'smart' 4K TV isn't quite 'smart' enough to have Amazon Prime Video available (which I didn't realise until after I'd bought it, but as it's otherwise a superb TV it's not really a reason to return it!).

I think this latest comment has just about pushed me into getting a Firestick - especially given the massive price advantage over something like the Shield.
