It will also play video games. Amazon has its own gaming studio that's developing games, but big companies, such as EA, Disney, 2K and Gameloft, will also make games for the device.
The games start at around 99 cents, with the average price being around $2. There will be many free games, too.
And for another $40, you can get a game controller, which looks a lot like the Xbox's controller. It will start shipping April 7.
At launch, the device has 134 video game titles. The standouts are Sonic the Hedgehog, NBA 2k14 and Minecraft - Pocket Edition.
The Roku can also play games - the remote control looks like a Wii controller and uses motion-sensing technology - but it doesn't have nearly as many games as the Fire TV.
Check out the full list of launch titles here.
