I’ve noticed they have added this trick to my FireCube. When it’s first powered on it looks for the remote and often doesn’t find it. Then as you press a button on it, or clicks the first show or movie being advertised.

I didn’t pay top dollar for a cube to deal with this crap.

I’m finding I’m using my laptop more than my cube these days. I’m also cancelling services as I go. Arrrhh time to go!
