In this week's video we show you a couple of awesome things to do with your Amazon Echo and FireTV Stick. By pairing them together, you get a FireTV Stick that's "hands-free", without having to pay over $100 for the FireTV Cube. Now you can simply ask your Dot to pause the TV, open an app, run routines, or view one of your Smart Cameras and see them through your FireTV Stick, in glorious color and as big as your TV is. It's like a Giant 60" ECHO SHOW, (or at least it is at my house)!!! We have a 60" TV in the Bedroom, but I'm going to demo these on the 24" TV in the front room, and the 8" TV in the Studio, just to show you the flexibility.

In addition to that, Rennie will show you how to take a pair of Echo Dots, and set them up as Stereo Speakers for your FireTV Stick, to give you that "Home Theater" experience, on a budget. So please check out our video and let us know what you think. Leave us a comment below and let us know if you've paired your Echo devices with your FireTV Stick. And if so, which of the two ways are YOU using them?
