Prime content doesn't always have 'prime' placement as such, and you can order apps as you wish – unlike the Netflix app on Hisense's Vidaa U TVs, which is stuck in first place. There are various content rows to navigate horizontally, such as your Recent apps, Your Apps & Channels, and Prime Originals & Exclusives. #Amazon fire tv tv#However, much of the Fire TV interface is clogged up with Amazon Prime Video content that can get a bit distracting if you're not a Prime member. Netflix is on your home screen automatically, which is a good gesture as Amazon Prime Video's biggest rival streaming service. You will have to sign in with an Amazon account, or create one, before being prompted to pick apps for the home screen.

There is a subtle Amazon logo, but it's not obtrusive, and the sleek black design and curved remote give it all a premium feel, despite the low price. It's essentially the same design as the Fire TV Stick 2020 or Fire TV Stick 4K, so if you're juggling a couple – as we were during our review – it may be hard to tell the difference. The streaming stick itself is pretty nondescript: a short black slab, the size of a small candy bar, which plugs into a TV via HDMI 2.0, and measures 86 x 30 x 13mm. You'll also get two Amazon Basics AAA batteries for the Alexa voice remote, and a charger to plug the streamer into (via micro USB). There's the Fire TV Stick Lite streamer itself, as well as a short (but pliable) extension cable, which is useful for helping the stick fit in narrow spaces behind a television. When you open the box, you'll find a neatly packaged assortment of accessories. (Image credit: TechRadar) Fire TV Stick Lite design
