Tesco are selling the Amazon Fire 4k TV boxes for £55.30 which is £25 less than Amazon themselves. Get one whilst stocks last :-)

All Amazons own series are now filmed in 4k, so there's a bit on there - I'm a fan of Sneaky Pete.

Is it nationwide? That's a very good price!! Could there be a new model soon and they're shifting stock?

Xiaomi mi box is also good as it has Chromecast built in but unfortunately it doesn't have Amazon on board.

I would love to see a new box but I think it will be a while yet. We need more IP based TV in this world and I think amazon mightr lead moving forward.

Did I read somewhere that the current Fire TV doesn't support HDR?
jaydeeuk1 to Uridium
5 Jun 171#15
Correct.
4k almost pointless without HDR as on a stream it'll barely look better than a blu ray.

Ali Express - but just make sure that you are buying the MDZ-16-AB model which is the international version. I can't wait for it to arrive! You can also purchase a Mi ethernet adapter if you want to use it directly with your router but the wifi is good anyway because it's using 802.11ac

I bought one of these around £60 18 months ago - surprised they're still so expensive. BTW they're UHD - not sure if that's the same thing as 4k?

Ultra HD is the same as 4k the same way Full HD was the branding for 1080p.

am I correct in my understanding that you need 4k TV for this to work with.

It'll work on any tv with a hdmi port but you need a 4k tv for 4k content to work.

Excellent price for the product, however I personally wouldn't go for a Fire TV.

Such a shame it doesn't support HDR. Could that be a firmware update, or would it be a new device?

So many posts gushing about a box manufactured by the lowest bidder! I could write 4K on my old LCD with a marker and someone on this thread would ask " in stock? "

Any decent 4K content available on it?

I bought one of these over a firestick because of the ethernet port. Big plus point for me.
