Amazon announces Alexa-powered Fire TV Cube
Amazon (AMZN) has presented a new version of its Fire TV that processes streaming transmission with the company's popular Echo speaker. The new Fire TV Cube, available on June 21 for $ 119, or $ 89 if you're a main member and pre-ordered between June 7 and June 8, is designed to work as a high-end Fire TV that You can fully control Amazon's Alexa Speech Assistant.

The thrust of the Fire TV Cube is that it can do virtually everything that an Echo can do, as well as allowing it to control almost every aspect of its television viewing experience.

During a Cube demonstration, Amazon's global marketing director for the Fire TV brand, Jennifer Prenner, explained how you can tell the Cube to turn on your TV and soundbar and tune to a specific cable channel using only your voice.

Embracing transmission and cable
That's right, even though Fire TV is one of the best streaming devices, Prenner says Amazon wanted to make sure that Cube can control its cable box.

"We want customers to have access to any content they want, no matter where they get it from," he said.

Fire TV Cube, as the name implies, is a small black cube that is next to your TV; You can also get an infrared cable extender to park your Cube inside your entertainment cabinet.

Like Amazon's Echo devices, the Cube has a blue indicator light that tells you when Alexa is listening. There are also silence and volume buttons on the top of the Cube.

It is important to note that you can currently link a Fire TV with an existing Echo speaker. But that experience is not exactly perfect, and an independent Echo can not control almost as many aspects of its entertainment system as the Cube does.
