Our new Amazon 32' Fire TV ..

 Last morning the new Amazon 32" fire TV reached home and by evening I got it working on the home wifi.

The experience so far has been good. When I am on Youtube, I can get all Malayalam and English news channels working with a Alexa command thru the remote. It is very useful. On the home screen I can navigate to any screen with verbal Alexa commands. I am slowly getting used to the new smart Android TV experience. It is cool.

Access to Netflix, Amazon Prime, Amazon Music and Youtube are the greatest plus points for the 2020 model.

I hope to learn more on smart TVs in the coming days and get to experience the full potential of the same.
