Pros & Cons
Pros
The device is easy to set up - you just need wi-fi. Some apps (channels) are free and some do charge a subscription fee. Love the interface. All of my streaming apps are on one stick.
Lots more storage, better faster processor, better connectivity, better hdr picture quality and more * on the remote. The pictures are clear and there's very rarely any freezing. The colors seem more vivid! Much clearer than the 1st generation.

Highlights

Price
At a fraction of the cost, it will do basically what the other will.
Gave up xfinity due to constant pricing changes until they priced themselves out of my desire to pay them.
Competitiveness
There is no doubt that this item is an excellent alternative to the apple tv.
I like the firesticks much better than roku.

Apps will freeze from time to time and the main screen sometimes works sluggishly

It is not enough to negate the purchase but enough to be annoying from time to time
