The best part is that the Amazon ecosystem is much more affordable. But if you think about it, it’s no different than living in the Apple universe with an iPad, Mac, and Apple TV. Of course you’ll need to be living in the Amazon universe for everything to work correctly. There’s no support for this if you’re watching Netflix or Hulu Plus. In screenshot below, I’m watching Marvel’s The Avengers, and as you can see there’s several categories of information you can gather from.Ĭurrently this only works with movies and TV shows that come from Amazon. Start watching the movie, and the so-called second screen experience will begin. To enable this experience, on your Fire TV go to Settings > Second Screen and make sure it’s turned on. The other thing you can do is control playback from the tablet. It will show information about each actor, and it includes interesting trivia about the film too.

While watching a movie you will see IMDB info about each scene in the flick on the tablet. While watching movies and TV shows on the Fire TV, you can use the Fire HD or HDX as a second screen experience. Another thing to mention is you’ll be able to use entertainment apps not included on the Fire TV box. This is a great solution if you’re watching content stored locally on your Kindle Fire or a special live performance online. Then your Fire HDX screen will display on the big screen. The first time I tried this it took about 15 seconds.

Then you’ll see it’s connecting and on your TV it will say it’s preparing for the connection. In this example it found my Fire TV – tap on it. The Kindle will start searching for compatible devices. To mirror the display to the Fire TV or other supported device go to Settings > Display > Sounds > Display Mirroring. Mirror Amazon’s Kindle Fire HDX to Fire TV One of the supported devices is Amazon’s Fire TV. Only a select few models of Smart TVs and other devices support this feature though. Display Mirroring allows you to stream the Kindle’s display and audio to another screen.
