Regular Cable TV is slowly dying and our generation is probably witness to this! The TV viewing experience has changed over the years and how! Sitting in the comfort of your house, you can watch the latest movies and the best shows at your convenience! As a working couple, we hardly get time over the week to sit together and watch something as a family. On weekdays, my little girl is busy with her school, after-school play and the toys. After a hard week, we wait for the weekend to lock the doors, get some popcorn and garam gajar halwa and get all snuggled up on our couch with the kids to watch the favourite TV shows and movies. And all this with our new Amazon Fire TV Stick that has made the whole experience so memorable and convenient.
What makes the Amazon Fire Stick special:
As I was saying earlier, portable streaming devices are now popular in the Indian market and the consumers like us often wonder how to make the right decision. The Amazon Fire TV Stick stands out among its peers with its popular and unique feature- the voice remote. You and the kids just need to name your favourite movie or show, and the Fire TV Stick plays it- yes- it is that simple! And with the parental control feature- you get a hold on what your kids can and should watch.
With a world of content to choose from- Amazon Fire TV Stick spoils its customers with the best of options ranging from Netflix, YouTube, HotStar, TED, Voot and lots more. With your Prime membership, you now have access to some of the best and latest movie releases and TV shows- covering all genres and all age groups. And with the Fire Stick, you can simply plug and play what you want on your big screen and enjoy! We know how that feels like- as a parent!
Travel Buddy:
As much as I love travelling, the idea of entertaining my child when I am in a remote hotel room in some city- the options I have at hand to keep her engaged are limited. That's where the Fire TV Stick comes in handy. The portable Fire TV Stick can be used anywhere with just an HDTV and Wi-Fi provisions and that means your kids can get to watch their favourites, without any complaints!
We also loved the ASAP feature in the Amazon Fire TV Stick that actually predicts what I want to watch before I make the selection. Based on my movie selections and watchlist, the ASAP feature (Advanced Streaming and Prediction Feature) tells me what my next watch is going to be. And yes- my list includes Chhota Bheem series, LEGO Batman movie and the Angry Birds movie! (Parenting isn't easy- we told you!)
With age-wise movies and shows for children and parents across the platforms and games and music to add to the fun, you just can't get bored when the Fire TV Stick is around! The quad-core processor ensures my videos are played faster than the other streaming devices- so there is no buffering! That's a relief!
Parental Control & Viewing Restrictions:
With more options, there is a chance of risk- is that what you think? Just like any other concerned parent, I know that with the touch of a button, my child can access a wide array of movies- for all ages and I surely don't want that. Which is where the Fire TV Stick scores with the parental controls option.
Parents can use the remote to set an access PIN to restrict the access to mature content and any new purchases. So you know that while your child is enjoying her movie on the TV with the Fire TV Stick, he/she doesn't accidentally click on content that isn't suitable for their age. And also, parents can also set viewing restrictions to block playback of movies and TV shows from Prime Video and other selected third-party providers.
With a truckload of freebies that come in with my Amazon Fire TV Stick like free data on Airtel, music streaming from Gaana and most importantly, one month ad-free streaming on Voot Kids, the Fire TV Stick is easily the must-have for your family bonding time!
