Fire TV device owners urged to replace gadgets before Amazon service shuts down
Fire TV device owners are being urged to replace their old gadgets, as Amazon plans to shut down the popular service.
In case you missed it, the Fire TV Blaster was first introduced back in 2019.
The accessory was designed to enable hands-free voice control for your home entertainment system, turning any TV into a smart TV.

However, due to the introduction of other popular Fire TV devices, such as the Fire Stick and Fire TV Cube, it's no longer required.
The device is no longer sold on Amazon and according to The Independent, the gadget will 'stop working' from January 31.
If you have an old Fire TV Blaster laying around at home, you're eligible for a £34.99 Amazon voucher (the full price of the device), which will be automatically added to your account.
