Amazon's Fire TV Stick allows voice control of content

Amazon's voice assistant has finally arrived on British television screens, with the latest edition of its Fire TV stick. The £40 ($50) device transforms any TV screen into a streaming service and it will now come with Alexa - the female helper from Amazon Echo - as standard. Upgraded hardware will let new viewers quickly search for content and rewind programmes using only their voice, while software updates mean owners of previous versions can also get in on the act. Amazon has released a new version of its bestselling Fire TV streaming stick which comes with voice assistant Alexa built in. The new Fire TV Stick has been completely redesigned, with a quad-core processor and faster Wi-Fi.
