Amazon's new basic streamer is the $35 Fire TV Stick HD

<p>Amazon has given its basic Fire TV Stick what seems to be a <a data-i13n="cpos:1;pos:1" href="https://amazonfiretv.blog/welcome-fire-tv-stick-hd-to-the-fire-tv-family-bafadc2d048b">rebranding[/url] and has even shaved off a few dollars from its pricing. When you visit its old listing on the website, you'll see a note that says "There's a newer model of this product," which links to the new <a data-i13n="elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Amazon;elmt:;cpos:2;pos:1" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&amp;siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=1p-autolink&amp;contentUuid=074fef02-4193-459f-8f5e-97baf313b65e&amp;featureId=text-link&amp;merchantName=Amazon&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2RwL0IwQ1FNUktSVjUvP3RhZz1nZGd0MGMtMjAiLCJjb250ZW50VXVpZCI6IjA3NGZlZjAyLTQxOTMtNDU5Zi04ZjVlLTk3YmFmMzEzYjY1ZSIsIm9yaWdpbmFsVXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYW1hem9uLmNvbS9kcC9CMENRTVJLUlY1LyIsImR5bmFtaWNDZW50cmFsVHJhY2tpbmdJZCI6dHJ1ZSwic2l0ZUlkIjoidXMtZW5nYWRnZXQiLCJwYWdlSWQiOiIxcC1hdXRvbGluayIsImZlYXR1cmVJZCI6InRleHQtbGluayJ9&amp;signature=AQAAATVpf4P2u6k7v3eGZXBC5g7rJvEANqLMLL2EOeW1Vh_u&amp;gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fdp%2FB0CQMRKRV5%2F" class="rapid-with-clickid" data-original-link="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CQMRKRV5/">Fire TV Stick HD[/url]. We call it a "rebranding," since its specs seem pretty much identical to the company's old basic streamer. It can stream in full HD resolution, comes with HDR support and ships with an Alexa-powered remote control. You can press the Alexa button on its remote to search for shows and launch apps with just a voice command.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The device can run the most popular streaming apps, like Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+ and Peacock, and its remote comes with special buttons for Netflix and Prime Video. Unlike the old version that set you back $40, though, the new Fire TV Stick HD has a base price of $35. That's only $5 more than the version that <a data-i13n="elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Amazon;elmt:;cpos:3;pos:1" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&amp;siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=1p-autolink&amp;contentUuid=074fef02-4193-459f-8f5e-97baf313b65e&amp;featureId=text-link&amp;merchantName=Amazon&amp;custData=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&amp;signature=AQAAARWIPfYrDmhOkUBhjFB9iXyEFEpIWV6azRhTgFV9pGQ6&amp;gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fdp%2FB091G4YP57%2Fref%3Dpav_fromAsin_B08C1W5N87_toAsin_B091G4YP57" class="rapid-with-clickid" data-original-link="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B091G4YP57/ref=pav_fromAsin_B08C1W5N87_toAsin_B091G4YP57">ships with a "lite" remote[/url] that has few buttons for control.
