Dream of controlling your TV using just your voice? Amazon’s Fire TV Cube hands-free streaming device with Alexa can make that dream a reality — and it’s $50 off! It’s the only Fire TV device that supports hands-free Alexa commands,. It’s like an Amazon Echo for your television, with eight microphones at the ready. It can stream from most any service: Amazon, Hulu, Netflix, etc., and it supports games and other apps. 

One five-star fan reports: “Best Fire TV product I’ve had so far, and I think I’ve had them all. Super easy to setup…The streaming is working great, no issues at all…and we watch YouTubeTV/NetFlix/ShowTime/Hulu a lot. Nice benefit to have Alexa integrated into the Cube too, asking her to queue up a show via voice, or just check the weather…. Plus all the other things you can ask Alexa to do.”

A traditional Fire TV remote and an ethernet adapter are included, but you’ll need an HDMI cable. If you don’t have a spare one hanging around, consider nabbing this five-foot HDMI cable for just $5.$70 $120 at Amazon
