I'm Dan Graziano and i'm here with
Amazon's new streaming box the fire TV
this $99 streaming device can stream
content from Amazon Netflix Hulu Plus
and other services it also doubles as a
game console capable of playing hundreds
of titles such as The Walking Dead and
minecraft but what sets the fire TV
apart from the Apple TV and the Roku is
its advanced voice controls holding the
microphone button and saying a movie TV
show or even an actor or actress will
bring up content from Amazon's library
to improve the service and the voice
results however Amazon stores the
recordings associated with your account
to its servers a big company like Amazon
having your voice stored on its servers
that may not sit well with many of you
luckily there's a way to delete the data
open your Amazon settings on Amazon's
website scroll down to digital content
and click on manage your content and
devices then select the manage your
devices option under the devices and
settings section select the fire TV
click on manage voice recordings and hit
the delete button while Amazon will no
longer have your voice on servers the
company does warn that the leading
recordings may affect the accuracy of
voice features you will also have to
repeat this method each time you use the
voice features for more how tunes like
