The cube-shaped Amazon Fire TV is sort of a mash-up of an Amazon Echo Dot, and the third-generation Amazon Fire TV dongle. The Cube has pretty much the same internal hardware as the dongle. Same processor, same GPU, same basic specs. But this one is meant to be out in the open and not tucked behind a TV, because it's also got a built-in speaker and microphones and the buttons you'd traditionally find on an Amazon Echo Dot.
Previous Fire TV devices had access to Amazon Alexa, of course. You'd just speak into the voice remote, and Alexa would do the thing. What really makes this one interesting is that it's got full CEC control, and works without the TV having to be turned on. And that means you basically can control anything that's physically connected to your Fire TV Cube. Want to turn on, say, an Xbox instead of the Fire TV? Just tell Alexa. Want to change to some other input for some other reason? Go for it. The Fire TV Cube will be able to control more than ever before because of that physical connection — the other devices don't even have to be connected to the internet.
And, in fact, you don't even have to be able to see the other devices. The Fire TV Cube ships with an infrared extender that lets you control other devices that are tucked away inside an entertainment cabinet. That's slick.
We tend not to obsess too much when it comes to specs of streaming hardware, but that doesn't mean they're not worth taking a look at. Here's how the Amazon Fire TV Cube specs stack up against the other Fire TV devices in Amazon's lineup.

In late April 2018 Amazon put up a landing page asking 'What is Fire TV Cube.' We pretty much had the answer by that point, of course, thanks to some early leaks — one of which came from Amazon itself.
The user manual for Amazon's own microUSB Ethernet Adapter referenced the Fire TV Cube and contained a rough schematic of the back of the box. That gave us a pretty good idea of what to expect — including the IR extender.
But the Fire TV Cube dates back to even before that — AFTVNews leaked its existence way back in September 2017. So Amazon's been sitting on (and or working on) this thing for months before it was actually set forth into the world.

This Troubleshooting page will help you diagnose problems with the Amazon fire TV Cube.
Cube does not show any sign of powering on.
Make sure the TV is turned on and the channel is set to the same HDMI input screen that the Amazon Fire TV Cube is on. Unplug the power cord and plug it back in. If the light is not on and the adapter is plugged in, the adapter is faulty. Consider trying a different HDMI cord or a different power cord.
Push the Up and Rewind buttons located on your Fire TV Remote at the same time for five seconds. Your screen will then scroll through different resolutions, when you see the correct resolution, select “Use Current Resolution”.
Press and hold the Select and the Play/Pause buttons at the same time for five seconds. Or, select Settings > My Fire TV > Restart from the Fire TV menu.
Alexa will not respond.
Make sure the Fire TV Cube is at least one foot away from speakers. Move other Alexa devices out of the room, and speak clearly with no background noise. If there are other Alexa-enabled devices, on the Fire TV Cube, go to Settings > Alexa, and turn Favor this Device On.
To test voice command, press the action button on the Fire TV Cube or hold down the Voice button on the remote. If the Cube lights up after voice command test, but you do not hear a response, clearly say 'Alexa, I cannot hear you.' Fire TV Cube then responds to you through its speaker instead of the TV or audio device.

Make sure your TV Cube’s volume isn’t muted and adjust if needed.
If you use an A/V receiver, make sure that the Fire TV is connected correctly and the receiver is on. Disconnect the receiver and reconnect correctly if necessary.
Review your Fire TV settings by selecting Settings > Display & Sounds > Audio on the Fire TV menu. Make sure the Dolby Digital Plus is OFF. Make any changes necessary and troubleshoot again.
If you have an HDMI cord connecting your Cube to your TV, make sure the cord is connected correctly, disconnect and then reconnect if needed. It may be necessary to use a different HDMI cable if yours is damaged or broken.

Make sure you are using the power supply cord and adapter provided with the Fire TV Cube. Connect the power adapter into the power port located on the back of the Cube, then plug the cord into a power outlet. You may need to replace the adapter and/or cord in order to fix this issue.
Plug one end of the HDMI cable into the HDMI port on the back of the Fire TV Cube, then plug the other end into HDMI port on TV. If you are using an HDMI hub, first disconnect the Fire TV Cube from the hub and plug it directly into the TV. You may also try switching HDMI ports on the TV. If none of the work, consider trying a “1.3” or “1.4” High-Speed HDMI cable.
