New shortcuts—Quickly put your Fire TV to sleep or enable display mirroring by pressing and holding the Home button on your remote.

Voice search that actually works

Know what you want to watch? Amazon Fire TV’s Voice Remote has a built-in mic so you can instantly search TV shows, movies, actors, and genres using just your voice—no more typing with your remote to find what you want. Voice search is supported for the entirety of Amazon’s video, app, and game catalog, plus for Hulu Plus, HBO GO, Crackle, Vevo and Showtime Anytime. Please note that voice search does not work directly inside individual applications, like Netflix. We’re confident Amazon Fire TV’s voice search is the best you’ve ever used. You have to try it to believe it. Voice search is also available on the Fire TV Remote App. Learn more
