Amazon Echo - why don't you do the obvious

[SpursforSix]

So now Echo is able to communicate with other devices around the home so you can control your lights, thermostat, etc.
But why can't it do the one thing that I would have expected it to do right out of the box? Interact with Fire TV.

From what I hear, the Echo kinda sucks.

It doesn't have much of a purpose for me yet. Although I probably could get some more use from it. It has a decent sound so it's cool to be able to tell it to play a song or play list and it'll crank on. Or it'll keep a reminder list for you if you think of something you need to be reminded of. Ours is in the living room so I don't use it for an alarm.

For what it says it can do, it does pretty well. But it needs to do more. I suppose they are working on it.

Sounds great.
