[@8bitGoan]

Thank you! Stay tuned.

[@MergeDroid]

Nice video. Just unboxed my 4k one in the UK today and compared it to my original Fire TV Stick...from 2014! As expected, it's a great performance boost.

[@8bitGoan]

Cheers mate. Want to try new version.

[@pwrofmusic]

Grt info. Quite detailed.

[@8bitGoan]

I check in my firestick and found that at one time u can add only 2 Source of chanel like zee5 and son liv .so voot will be gone. And not all channels are sync .in my case I have take scrbcription of sony liv but cricket channels like sony 10 ,and more diidnt show up.in your case it also look the same way u didn't notice it???? Any solution for getting all channels that we have subscribed to that ott

[@8bitGoan]

Hi Mangesh. I have 4 sources at the moment. Not all channels show up in the channel guide (live TV). And when asked about this, I was advised that you have to watch these channels only through the app.

[@news_nugget15]

We can connect wifi with our Android phone I am little confuse which wifi device I can buy for this

[@8bitGoan]

Yes. You can, enable Hotspot on your phone and then connect the firestick to the wifi tethering you enabled.

[@hardiksaxena3149]

Sony LIV channels except sports channel are included in liv special + plan of rs 399 plz tell

[@8bitGoan]

Hi Hardik, from what I can see, I have 499 plan. In live section I can see all Sony channels except sports. If I go into the sony liv app, I can see the sports streaming live (depending on the sports)

[@chatriyansquad]

2:21 It's possible to view past programs using guide bro?

[@8bitGoan]

Hi, unfortunately no. You cannot watch past programs

[@stephenmathias425]

I am not getting channel guide and any other options in Live tv tab few apps showing which i subcribed Voot,Sony, Discovery in Live tv

[@8bitGoan]

Hi Stephen. Try restarting your firestick.. if it doesn't work, try to reset. This feature has been added few weeks back. It should show as channel guide at the last line.

[@stephenmathias425]

@@8bitGoan I restarted it and reset it but still live channels are not coming. Under featured live apps the apps that I have subscribed ( Zee 5, Discovery, Sony, Voot) to are being shown but nothing below it.

[@guptaashish327]

Same issue with me.

[@8bitGoan]

I will check this in a couple of days and update you Stephen

[@8bitGoan]

Hi Stephen, can you check the below. Software version: fireos 6.2.7.6(ns6276/2933) Firetv home version: 6242054.1 If this isn't the version for you, please check for an update

[@guptaashish327]

Hello, I got Live section, but I donot see any thing below it, even options panel inside is not visible. My FireTV (2nd) is updated and I have subscription for Apps as well. Can you please tell me how did you enable this?

[@8bitGoan]

Hi Ashish, this actually was an update and it directly added the live tv segment. However I will check on the version and see if there are any settings and let you know. I am currently out of town. Will post back in couple of days. Cheers

[@guptaashish327]

@@8bitGoan thanks for replying. One thing I could think of right now is phase wise roll out of this feature.

[@8bitGoan]

Hi Ashish, please check the below. Software version: fireos 6.2.7.6 (ns6276/2933) Firetv home version: 6242054.1 If this is not the variant you have, try checking for updates.

[@nimishparmar2272]

[@8bitGoan]

Hi Nimish, Im not sure. But zee 5 live works within the application. Let me ask this to Amazon and see if there is any response.
