Just
Just got my £10 from VoucherCodes :smile:

MyMedia app works for streaming from a Windows server.

Yes the private stuff happens in the bedroom,and the echo is in the kitchen,it use to happen in the kitchen,but the joys of a long relationship means that don't happen anymore lol

I have been pondering getting one of these but really they are so limited unless you have homeplugs and devices that are supported by them. I am not even sure it can play music from my DLNA server. Going to wait for the Gen 2 that is rumoured to come by the end of the year... Hence this stock clearance.

You have nothing that’s private? Yes. The poster was been a bit tinfoil hat. But if you think you’ve nothing to hide, you’ve lived very clean life.

is it just me or are we headed to a world where entire house is voice activated or perhaps pre empted for us by predictive analytics. reminds me of irobot. that naff film with the professor held hostage by his own AI. Orwell and HG Wells warned us about this but Big brother here we come. before you ask I already suspect my phone and PS4. I remember a good few years back there was once a thing called the alexa toolbar. classed as spyware and hated by all. used to track and collect data and almost impossible to get rid of. is this a the great great great granddaughter of that? in a way it's ok as I have nothing to hide but for people that use this as a phrase to hit doubters I would say what is the reaction by most people of they see some one was watching them all the time? usually what I lookin at and a few choice expletives.

You could probably cut your lawn just fine with a pair of garden shears but I bet you have a lawnmower....

My wife was of a similar mindset to you until I bit the bullet and bought one on Prime Day. She would probably get rid of me first now. :angry:

anyone want to swap an unopened echo for a google home?

Thanks!

What is the point of these things ? other than to add stuff to your Amazon shopping basket .

No deer

Is it better to get it from JL after price matched with ARGOS as they give 2 year guarantee?

Amazon now showing at £99, but no voucher etc.

Ordered the echo & dot for £123.99 got a £10 voucher on email and £15 cash back via Complete Savings.
Ps: call Complete Savings to claim your cash back and cancel the membership.

I thought very carefully about this: 1) The speakers are quite tinny sounding when playing loud music - tech review 2) if I need lights on I will get up and turn them on - I don't wish to be a lazy coach potato. 3) I have news and weather on my iPhone. 4) if I need to order anything from Amazon I quickly do it via the app. So even at £89 this is an average overpriced gadget. No thanks!

Paired mine with a Sony Amp - and you just need to say 'Alexa, connect speakers' - and the amp turns on with the output going through to it. A quick command to 'play XXX' then plays said track / artist through your AV system. As said, haven't found a way to get it to play stuff off my NAS (QNAP)...

It's really weird, i ordered early hours of this morning, but got a dispatch email, but haven't been charged, when I log into my account and click the order, it can't find any order details, but the dispatch email confirms everything

Got 1 on back order from qvc how easy are they to cancel an order with ?

Well done again CollectorCol - there's some 'told you so's' due from from you here now eh!!! Many thanks.

john lewis have price matched

I purchased echo and echo dot for 123.99 using vouchercodes.co.uk link. So do I get £10 from vouchercodes.co.uk and £10 from argos argos.co.uk/m/e…tml? so making it £103.99?

So even better than I first expected, £123.99, plus hopefully £20 in vouchers.

I know it might be a long shot, however could you then use the £20 in vouchers to place another order and get this for £103.99? Then return the first order?

Nice

Fast track.

Can anyone tell me if they have connected their Echo to an external bluetooth speaker and which one ? Can't connect to my old Sony 2.1 system unfortunately.

Was that with fast track? Or home delivery?

Yup. Got my £10 code.

Not sure what's best though, argos you could get £20 in vouchers, and pay £123.99. Or Tesco £113. I'm tempted to go for Argos, has any one received the Argos voucher for ordering on the email receipt?

Still happy with both for £124 and £20 in Argos vouchers.
Good Tesco pricematch deal though.

Ah Crap. Already paid for fast track

Stop what your doing,

Get an Echo and an Echo dot for £113.00 from Tesco direct
hotukdeals.com/dea…087

I mean the one from vouchercodes.co.uk

The voucher will be on your receipt email

99p cheaper - it's actually £99.00 =)

If we use fast track will we still get the £10 voucher from voucher codes?

Buy the Echo dot for only £24.99 when you buy the Echo from Argos with this offer

Ordered an Echo & Dot £123.99, they still reduce the Dot by £20.
£10 voucher when I collect & £10 voucher through Vouchercodes.

New toys and Happy days!

Mine is ordered

Okay it's live now :smile:

When you load argos at midnight to see if the deal has gone live, but it hasn't :disappointed:

Might be worth trying this also...

vouchercodes.co.uk/sea…715

+ 1
Still like my Google Home though :smile:

U know u can control kodi too if u use it!.

Shame i just bought one from another user! As if !!.

I have 2 echo's and a dot and got them synced with all my lights, central heating, motion sensors etc.
Works a treat and my daughter loves to play songs through Spotify.

Wouldn't be without them now.

Sorry you are too late......

But I might be able to sell you one tomorrow for say £120,how does that sound :grin:

Is the offer's still on? Cos it comes to £149.00 @ the checkout!

Do you think the echo dot will come down in price also people?

Also I noted argos have a deal at the moment where you buy a echo and get £20 off a echo dot... wonder if that will still be live tomorrow

If Tesco price match tomorrow then they have a £10 off £75 voucher (TDX-HYTP) which is slightly stronger

It really depends on your setup at home, especially around speakers. The dot is good to have in rooms where you either don't really want/need brilliant sound for music playback or you have other speakers it can integrate with. The Echo has a better speaker and the sound quality is meant to be ok I think, so that is good for a room where you don't already have a speaker.

Personally I am a Sonos convert, I have a Playbase in the front room and a Play 1 in the kitchen and bedroom, Sonos are working on Alexa integration at the moment, so I currently have a dot in the front room awaiting an invitation to the beta when it comes, whilst getting used to what Alexa can do.

However with this offer, especially if the promo works with it, will give me an extra dot for the bedroom and an echo speaker, which I will probably put in one of the kids bedrooms for them to listen to music on.

I'll be trying that myself.

What are the advantages of a Dot if you have the Echo?

Have both, Sonos are currently working on Alexa integration at the moment (due this year), so you would get best of both, echo in one room and your play 1 in another :wink:

Ditch Sonos play 1 for this anyone??

I wonder if this will still work with the other promotion they have on at the minute of - Buy an Amazon Echo and get £20 off a dot, if so this will be amazingly hot. The £20 off dot offer states it is valid until 22nd January 2018.

I have added a black echo and black dot on the current offer to my basket and will see what happens tomorrow with the pricing. So potentially Amazon Echo and Dot for £128.99 plus £10 voucher.

Going live tomorrow everyone! Not today

It seems so

Batteries for 79p:

argos.co.uk/pro…866

Tempted at getting a new gadget for the house then also having the lights and TV connected etc

wonder if Argos selling anything cheap to get the £10 voucher for spending £100 seeing as the echo is £99.99 or wonder of buying a carrier bag will class then get the extra voucher save just getting a £5 one

'We're sorry, this product is not available at this time. Use the search bar to find similar items'.

£93.92 inc postage @ QVC

Yes, they are selling them for $99.99 so you are right. That makes it £78 in our world.

Thanks mate! I was being proper lazy tbh :smile: Always keen to see others take on things first hand too.

And this if you can't watch support.plex.tv/hc/…rue

Probably easier to link

plex.tv/app…xa/

Interesting, what do you use it for in relation to Plex?

custom ROMs mate, beauty of android.

If your worried about an echo then you must [email protected] your pants at the thought of a mobile phone,


yet I bet you've got one.

Amazon have got their own voucher promotion running at present

hotukdeals.com/dea…133

thank you!

Live 23/8 - it's in the title & description.

doesn't work for me..?

As has been discussed before, that isn't the replacement for the original Echo, just a different option. I believe there is a new (no screen) Echo imminent.

The new one is already out in the states. It's called Echo Show and it has a screen

Anyway,what do you say that is so bad that you don't want the government to know about ?

Personally I couldn't care less if someone wants to listen in to me talking about what's for tea,or telling the kids to SHUT UP !

Been waiting for ages for those to appear in the UK. I'm definitely getting a couple!

Encrypted by who?

Unless it's yourself I'd be careful.

Your phone comes alive when you're asleep and watches you.

>2017
>not using an encrypted ROM that seemingly blocks advertisements too

Tinfoil hats also available.

I turned my phone on last night and was met with a full page advertisement for a credit card. Was not amused!

Pay £100 for unlimited government home intervention while discretely selling your data on to 3rd party advertisers, barg

Outta nowhere? :wink:

Yes

Flamedeer!

More than happy with my Dot - was dubious about voice controlled speakers but now couldn't do without it. Sits in my kitchen and it can still hear me from the other end of the living room. Kids love it too - they can get some of their favourite songs playing by saying "ALEXA! Play LET IT GO!" (I had to upload that one to my Amazon cloud manually, mind).

I'll leave the full Echo... but may be interested in replacing it with the Echo Show if the price is right, and if I can get Plex to play video through it...

Pity these can't be chained together

Similar price on QVC last Saturday. Is a new version coming out soon?

We've got three Echo and one Dot.

They're brilliant and very handy for the home automation that we use. Wouldn't be without them now. Getting them on-board with Plex and Spotify is also very convenient - more so if you invest in the Harmony hub and get Alexa in control of turning on/off your home theatre system and Sky etc.

Next is waiting for the Ikea Tradfri bulbs to have the firmware updates as standard and get them working on other hubs for some GU10 action!

must resist, must... :persevere:

Don't.....need.....another one....must............resist!

Any deals on kettles tomorrow, mine's just popped, can wait till tomorrow :thumbsup:

Heat for the Echo, just not my priority atm.

£149 for me

Thanks OP

I'll add to the 'going to get smoking hot in here' predictions...we bought one on Prime Day, wife was sceptical as Hell, now would probably get rid of me first! Incredible bit of kit/technology...

I have a feeling there's a new Echo on the horizon. Amazon US are apparently selling the Echo for $100 until 4/9/17.

This is great, someone comes on with a unsubstantiated claim and whoosh hot lol :blush:

This is going to meltdown levels as even if Amazon do the inevitable price match you still don't get the voucher to use on another purchase but can have it delivered to your house free from Amazon.....Hmmm choices.

Please only ever use your powers for good!

Great deal, we have three and use them daily

Wait. You can tell the future?!

Going to get roasting
