One of the aspects that Apple has not yet introduced in the Apple TV, and that took many years to implement on the iPad, It was the PIP function, Picture in Picture, a function that allows us to play video in a floating window while we are checking e-mail, reading our Twitter or Facebook wall, while we chat with our friends ...
Although it is true that if you go to see a movie or a series, this function does not make much sense, if we find it, if while we are watching any content we have the need to look for another that perhaps can be more adjusted to our visual consumer needs, or we want to configure a HomeKit device, search for an application or game… The new Amazon Fire TV 4k does allow that option.
As the days go by, little by little new functions of the new Amazon set-top box are discovered, a device that has a price of $ 69.99 and that offers us practically the same functions as Apple TV, in terms of consumption of content, as the Fire TV is not designed to also be a video game console. But the PIP function of the new Amazon Fire TV is not the only novelty that will come from the hand of this device on October 25, since it will also allow us to record videos.
Obviously this function is not designed so that we can rip our favorite series from Netflix, HBO or Amazon Prime Video, but it is intended for those streaming video services that broadcast live, so that we can program the device so that when the time comes, it begins to record the program so that we can enjoy it when we get home or have time. The problem with this function, we find it in the sad 8 GB of storage memory that it offers us, which surely does not give much.
