You need the XBox controller receiver, it cost about $15 in Amazon.

two questions:
1. I tried to stream a movie (The Wolf of Wall Street, 23GB version) from my PC using Wifi connection. The streaming is not perfect. I have a lot of buffering problems (depending on the bitrate, I guess).
Am I doing something wrong or it is normal for a system like Amazon Fire Tv?
2. I tried to make a second attempt using LAN cable, but connecting the cable to Amazon Fire TV it doens't recognize it automatically. I have to manually put all the info. I tried to give it IP, Gateway, DNS,... but no luck. Any hint?
Thanks for help.
Did you turn off the Wi-Fi? For some reason mine defaults to Wi-Fi if they are both on.
Thanks for your answer.
So do you mean that I should go in SETTINGS and turn off Wifi on Amazon Tv?
I will try later.

I tried playing full bluray rips over wireless on a Macbook pro which has an i7 processor and dedicated 2gb nvidia 750 video card with no success. I experienced buffering every two minutes or so.
Oh thanks for help.
Talking to a friend it seems something related on the speed of your WIFI connection at home
Having a Gigabit setup you should not have this kind of problem - he said.
Quick question:
- Right now is it possible to plug a USB DEVICE (USB Key, HDD,...) to the Amazon TV and see inside it using XBMC?
I increased the buffer size in the advancedsettings.xml to 24k and now every 1080p (10Gb+) movie plays perfect. My setup NAS+N900 Router + AFTV away 45 feet.
