5 simple tips on how to upgrade your old-school TV with the help of Amazon’s Fire TV

With nearly two thirds (63%) of Brits admitting they’ve thrown away on average one TV every year over the past decade, Amazon has worked with home improvement expert, Victoria Kirk (@thisenglishhome), to showcase how easy it is for customers to convert standard TVs into smart ones. The timely tips have been released as new research from Amazon reveals that nearly a third (32%) of Brits are looking to have a spring clean of their old technology this year. With a few simple steps, there’s no need to get rid of old plasmas, LCDs, or old-school boxes, with a simple, ultra-affordable upgrade that can refresh your old tech with Fire TV.

Amazon has worked with Victoria to create hints and tips on how to upgrade your living room setup and give you access to a world of content, without having to throw anything away.

 

  1. Upgrade your old TV to access new and old classics with Fire TV: No smart TV? No problem. With the help of Fire TV – you can modernise your setup for as little as £34.99 with Fire TV Stick Lite. Even if your TV doesn’t have a HDMI port, you can purchase adapters like DVI-to-HDMI cables, RF converters or HDMI scalers that will help you get access to all the benefits of a smart TV.

 

  1. Transform your living room into a fitness hub: These days, the living room is so much more than a place for kicking back and watching TV and movies. Fire TV is an affordable and convenient way to upgrade your living room setup into a workout zone, with apps like Fiit, Peloton and Daily Workouts offering a range of home exercises.

 

  1. Simplify with Alexa Routines: By using Alexa Routines, you can control your Fire TV and applicable smart home devices with a simple Alexa utterance which will bundle actions together seamlessly. For example, customers can create an Alexa Routine so when someone says, “Alexa, it’s movie night,” Fire TV will turn on, smart lights will dim, the kettle will boil for a cup of tea, and the smart blinds will close.

 

  1. Talk to your TV with Alexa: With Fire TV and Alexa, customers have the luxury of controlling their entertainment setup simply using Alexa. With the Alexa Voice Remote and Fire TV, you can say “Alexa, show me an action movie”, “Alexa, fast forward two minutes”, “Alexa, play the next episode” or even “Alexa, show me the weather”.
