Also new is their Alex voice-powered remote, which can power searches, using the tech that originally debuted in their Echo speaker.

There’s a new Fire TV Stick—which comes with new software and the Alexa Voice Remote for $39.99 USD.

The company also debuted a gaming version of the Fire TV, which comes with a new redesigned controller, 32GB microSD card and two free game downloads for $139.99 USD.

While Canadians are unable to access U.S. streaming services here (without some VPN trickery), these are definitely affordable streaming options for ‘snowbirds’ that reside down south and want to stream video easily.
