We own a Fire Tv Stick and meanwhile you connect it into the HDMI port, and your TV is capable of doing it, you can control the Fire TV using your TV remote or any other remote that can control the TV itself.

To know which apps are available for Fire TV you can enter the amazon page and look for apps, you can even download them to your fire TV from there which is very convenient. Once apps have been downloaded you can install them from your remote.

We are using it via WI-FI so no idea about the connection to ethernet directly.

The fire TV stick is the easiest thing to use in the world, Netflix app works well, YouTube works again there and of course the Amazon Prime app also works there.

I've only heard good things of the ROKU devices which seemed the best thing to get in the USA, but here (Spain) they are not available officially as far as I know.

Hope this helps.
