{{Note|Unless otherwise noted, the following information applies to both the Fire TV box (1 and 2) and Fire TV stick.}}

<section begin="intro" />'''Amazon Fire TV''' (first and second-generations) is a series of Android-based ([[wikipedia:Fire OS|Fire OS]]) set-top-box that contains a powerful ARM processor (that can even handle some of the more heavy Kodi skins). First released in 2014, Amazon's Fire TV series stands above some of the other Android-based offerings due to Amazon's strong product support and because it contains more [[w:10-foot_user_interface|10-foot user interface]] versions of Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and other video service clients, which generally makes it a good pairing with Kodi.<section end="intro" />

Amazon have also released Amazon Fire TV Stick as a low cost version in a HDMI-stick format, and while the Amazon Fire TV Stick also uses the same Android-based ([[wikipedia:Fire OS|Fire OS]]) software platform it contains less powerful ARM processor hardware it should still technically provides the same video playback features and capabilities as the first-generation of Amazon Fire TV, at least as far as running Kodi on it. The second-generation of Amazon Fire TV however does support newer video codecs and higher resolutions than the Fire TV Stick model.
