Just got mine . I really like it so far . Dedicated GPU makes a difference , movies look really good in full 1080p hd . I would have to disagree with Mac - i kind of like the UI , plus it's really fast and responsive . Voice search is right on , it beats typing letters via on screen keyboard ( although available as well ) . Games are a nice touch and look better than the ones on Roku ( dedicated xbox type controller helps ) . I am positive that sooner rather than later most control systems will have IP drivers / modules available as well , Fire TV is just a " flavor " of Android after all . Yes , it lacks some services i.e HBO GO , but that thing has just been released , give it another couple of months - it has great potentials .
