Updated: No go. Stick to Roku. If you're wondering, it IS the Firestick causing your problems.
I LOVE Amazon, but they have utterly failed on this one. Can't start up video (It's taking longer than expected, you patience is most appreciated), out of sync sound/video. Don't waste your money on this garbage. Go with Roku. I haven't had any connectivity issues at all. Will be going solid Roku in the house. I'll buy it off Amazon, but what an incredibly HUGE disappointment. DO NOT buy this. I repeat, DO NOT buy this. It is a completely frustratingly awful waste of money.
Roku in the same house runs circles around this little paper weight.
Update: Amazon contacted me to see if they could help with any of the technical issues. That is the amazing part of Amazon. They are awesome! Unfortunately, this device is still a paperweight. If you are debating on this or Roku... go with Roku. You won't know if it is your TV, your projector, your sound system, your cable, the buffer... but no worries. Get a Roku and it all disappears and you only have to worry about what to watch. I have since bought another Roku and all the problems went away. I was looking at the Amazon cube... but I'm pretty sure I'll stick to ordering working devices on their incredible site. They just need to jump out of the streaming hardware business.
