Wow...I cut the cord about a week ago and have been looking for a channel like this!...Thank you!
We are new to using a Fire Stick. I bought it put it on a small TV in our spare bedroom for guest..Thanks for making this video..
This was so helpful. I appreciate the tips. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing this with us all guys your doing great in my opinion from Alabama and thanks for sharing your thoughts with us all guys who like live TV show like me 😅
A-1 presentation !! lots of good tips, thanks cord cutter !!
Great info I like imbd, plex and Roku live TV (I did do a vid on that) keep up the good content
Thank you for sharing and taking your time to help explain everything. Sometimes other “Announcers” speak as if they were in a race. There’s no rush and we’re taking the time to listen and learn. Thank you for your assistance 🙏.
We have a local sports anchor that must get paid by the amount of words he speaks.
@James Simms ... 😆😂
Thank you for sharing and taking your time to help explain everything. Also, thank you for getting right to the point and not dragging the video out with so much extra unnecessary stuff.

Great video. And, I love that snakeplant!
Great video, thanks!
Thank you for the information. I'm getting a fire stick.
Had them for 10 years. Definitely worth the small price.
Comprehensive thanks!
Great info.
Your great! THANKS
I agree with your favorite IMDb picks. My favorite too.
Much appreciated for your video
this was great. thanks
Thanks great Video I just cut the cord this will definitely help.
Pluto TV is great. I highly recommend it.
This is very helpful. Maybe you could make a similar video discussing which of these are optimal for international access via a VPN. VPN's seem to be more effective with some services (Prime, Netflix) than others (Sling). thanks
Thanks for the info..
Thank you!
Great information. Thanks Sir
Silicondust Homerun Flex. Im getting my local channels thru my Google Chromecast with Google TV. Also, with the Channels DVR, I have also added Xfinity' TV Everywhere and i get most of my Xfinity channels thru my Google without having to scramble for a different remote.
News on worked well thankyou
Can you tell me how I can get TCM & BRAVO on my fire stick ? Thanks
Sometimes it's just easier to hook up a antenna.
If you go with an antenna for local channels how do you watch them on tv do you put the input on channels or hdmi or will it automatically work once the antenna is hooked up
@@user-ey4dt6br2f you look for the TV setting.
Your tv needs to have a tuner or is not going to have the connection for the antenna. Some tv models do not have the tuner and on the box it says screen, not tv.
Cable seems so much easier
@@katek3265 But so much more expensive ❗
I pay for the ad-free upgrade to almost every service/channel except for the $75+ all inclusive services. I only use on-demand/dvr, not live. There are still a ton of TV series that fall through the gaps because there is no service offering that show up to date on-demand. FX is a particularly hard channel. Hulu owns FX, but does not have many of the shows that RUclips TV has under FX. I would also really love to have everything in one place. I tried ReelGood for this, but it doesn't open the apps on Firestick TV. I tend to habitually open certain apps and miss shows I would like from others I open less often.
Hello, this is Vincent Suttle really appreciate the video, but would it be possible to do a Canadian video on the subject?
Thanks.
When I checked Paramount plus you could not get live tv for 4.99 a month. You have to pay the 9.99 a month to get live now. Do you know something I missed?
Subbed!
Thanks for the info!! How do I get my local channels because all I see are news from other states.
I still use mostly cinemaHD with RD. Still working fine for me.
What's rd
@@jmonkey1111 REAL-DEBRID... It's a paid service... 18 dollars for 6 months. Best money I ever spent. You get access to their private servers,you get better links and no buffering. Doesn't work with all apps... CinemaHD,media lounge, I believe beetv and some others.
I just bought the latest firesticks and signed up for hulu + live and it doesn't show up in the firestick live guide 'sync to source' menu. Posted this problem on amazon forum and amazon staff member responded that this feature isn't supported for hulu. I see it in your video. What am I (and amazon) missing?
Thanks I was wondering how to get my local channels with the Firestick I just installed. I thought it was automatic but quickly found out it wasn't, thanks for the info.
maybe add paramount + monthly?
Yeah, I have (RECENTLY) gotten into the habit of watching some streaming channels.🤔
Thank you
I'm not sure if it's mentioned in this video, but if you install a rooftop antenna can you feed the signal from the antenna through the same coaxial cable that is going to your home internet router? And if you can, I suppose you need to use a splitter to bring the signal to the antenna input of the TV.
Nah, cant use one cable for two different things.
No can do. Different signal and frequencies. Off air frequencies have to converted.
thank you ever so for the information very helpful
these freebees do they bombard you with ads
Thank u....
Thanks 4 all your time king 🤴 🙏....
Appreciate respect and Salute king 🤴....

I just am wondering if there’s a way I can watch my cable (I pay for and have optimum so I get a bunch of channels (mostly the general ones like ABC, NBC etc.) through the Amazon fire stick so that I don’t need to get an HDMI switch port and use multiple remotes to switch between my fire stick to cable tv. Is this possible somehow?

Yes Philo is excellent.
Yes it’s. I have it to
That’s what I’m trying to decide. Not sure if I want Hulu or philo

How do you change channels voice control with fire tv cube voice control with xfinity?
My apps are Tubi,Pluto,Roku channels and Stirr.Not sure,if I recall all.
I never personally used a Fire Tv or stick. But I recently bought a stick for my neighbor, and helped him set it up. The reason I got it for him was to share my rooftop antenna signal with him. So instead of running a physical cable all the way to his room, I instead bought him the fire stick and downloaded the HdHomeRun app on it, and since the stick is connected to the same home wifi network we both use, it gave him access to my HDHR tuner. So this is another way to get live channels on Fire TV that you didn't mention at all in this video. I'm now wondering if the HDHR channels can also be integrated into the Live TV guide? I'm gonna try it later maybe and see.
I just came across this video because I was wondering if there was a way to get the HDHomeRun app channels integrated into the FTS Live TV. So far, I have not found a way.
I would suggest to everyone using using a firestick use a the internet connection rather than Wi-Fi ( now I know some people might not have broadband etc ) also plug the firestick in to the wall - power from the tv isn’t enough.
Once this issues are sorted it’s generally software issues and you have illuminated certain faults.

I turn a streaming channel on for my cat every day before I leave the house. The channel is the PBD Kids Channel program, "Dinosaur Train." For over one year, the "Dinosaur Train" would play continuously, no problem. NOW...this program, through the PBS Kids Channel AND through my Amazon Prime membership, both streaming options ONLY ALLOW 3 EPISODES TO PLAY AND THEN STOPS!!! The PBS and Amazon Prime BOTH close the program and my HDTV goes off! Is there ANYTHING that I can do about this...or is this the way the two sources operate nowadays please? ANY HELP is GREATLY APPRECIAYED!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

How do I get NBC on firestick?
How to download and ADD Movie Box Pro to Fire TV Stick????
You forgot the "Peacock" app. Their app has excellent programming!!!
As best I can tell, and correct me if I"m wrong, unlike Paramount + you can't stream the local NBC station live. This makes it somewhat less valuable IMHO.
@@ghjcmo Nah Peacock is awesome! One of thee best apps. It's not for streaming whatever news u mentioned 🙄
@@flamejanes1865 I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about, I didn’t say anything about news. What I said was is you can’t stream your local NBC affiliate live. With Paramount+ you can stream your local CBS affiliate live.
Is peacock free and how many ads per second
@@daveswanson5350 yes there is a free version with good programming! Not many ads, so it's a good app!!!
What about international channels like hindi movies or Indian channels how can we add these?
It would have been alot more helpful; (instead of showing through most of the video what movies or stations a person can receive) if you had shown play by play; or more detailed on how to use, and set-up the fire TV.
This video is exactly what I was looking for. I want to simplify television viewing for my elderly mother and was curious as to what type of live tv choices she could use. She prefers live tv but I’m more familiar with standard streaming.
For a step by step guide HOW to do it, that’s would be a separate video. Personally, I found this video informative and exactly what I was looking for.
Anybody figure out why Hulu Live isn't able to sync its Guide with the Fire TV Live Guide like Amazon suggests it should?

Is it possible to block live channels from Roku that we have no interest of watching? We have the Amazon Firestick Smart TV.
I'm looking for Telemundo live using the digital antenna 📡. And nothing
I don’t know how you watch it but I watch live tv with my eyes OPEN!
How good is Firestick? I've got Chromecast and I'm not happy with it at all. It keeps locking up all the time.
Love it
is there any live apps that have the INSP station on it?
I wrote a guide about this that outlines all your options: cordcuttingreport.com/2024/04/25/how-to-watch-insp-without-cable/
Ruku don't show up to add in the live channels. I wish peacock did, I pay for that. I'm sure there are others I use that don't either
I have a Firestick and here in England I have included "HAYSTACK" and most US channels, I have got (FREE), Fox 11 (LA), WSAV (Savannah), WXYZ (Detroit) , WKBW (Buffalo).
Jonathan Winters?

What about Live channel from other country like Philippines?
OlaTV, I dont think creators are allowed to talk about streaming services like this anymore but they are the best. All the premium movie channels, every local channel, no matter where you live in the US and tv stations from many countries including the Philippines.
