I did hit a temporary wall when I expected something to happen on its own once I plugged it in, so Amazon maybe could do a little better in explaining what needs to happen. The hardest part there was that I had to drive five minutes to my parents’ house to find one. Plugging in a cable box (Cox Communications, if you must know) was simple enough. So why HDMI? It’s simply better, Amazon says. Phil Nickinson/Digital Trends The case for HDMI-in The 2022 Fire TV Cube (right) adds HDMI-in, swaps Micro USB for USB-A, and adds an Ethernet port. The Cube still has IR support, as well as the external IR emitter if you need to control devices that are locked away in a drawer or cabinet. Of course, you could do that before (and still can) via infrared commands, the invisible rays that many remote controls use to get things done. The big-ticket examples here are cable and satellite set-top boxes. As the name would imply, you’re now able to run another device into the Fire TV Cube via HDMI and have your Cube control said device. That starts first and foremost with the addition of an HDMI-in port. Only four microphones are present (down from the previous six), but that’s not really anything to get worked up about as everything still works just fine.Īround the back is where you’ll find the meat of the changes. And while it may be a better collector of dust, it certainly won’t show fingerprints like the glossy Fire TV Cubes of yore. That continuity is a good thing from a design standpoint. The vertical faces are now clad in cloth, just like the current-generation Amazon Echo speaker.
