Great job explaining what the update does. I have a Firestick 4k gen1 that I bought in 2018, and I am still on Fire OS 6.7 after checking for updates. Do you know if you there is a DVR app for the Firestick that you can schedule channels to be recorded? What do you recommend?
You can customize the channels and apps displayed in your guide by: Going to Settings from the Fire TV home screen. Selecting Live TV or Channel Settings. You can reorder the apps, remove certain sources, or enable/disable the display of particular live TV services or channels. Troubleshooting Check App Compatibility: Not all streaming services may fully integrate with Fire TV's Live TV guide. Ensure your streaming service supports live TV guide integration. Restart the Device: If the guide isn't showing up correctly, restarting the Firestick can sometimes help refresh the setup. Software Update: Make sure your Firestick is running the latest version of software to ensure all features are working properly.
When you mentioned you could add third party apps, i thought you meant apps like HDTV, Ola TV, AiryTV, LiveNetTV, etc. i tried syncing sources and those don't cone up.
Think of it this way. It's an integrated feature by the firestick. So the apps that can be included would be those in the amazon app store which are 99% 3rd party apps. There are thousands you could add, but they won't let illegal ones be added. Sorry
Yes they do. It's not built into the interface like this, but plenty of apps that organize into one guide. You should be able to search the best one. The best android box that does this same thing is the BuzzTV line. They are the best for it and even have a PVR/DVR setup which is pretty awesome. Way better than the shield for this
Well two ways. Make sure that your settings allows auto add. If not you have to hit the menu button and select the available apps. Not all apps (if illegal) are available to add. I get asked a lot about IPTVs. Yes I have Sling and RUclips TV on mine, but not illegal ones. Hope this helps.
There is no live TV symbol on the homepage, only inside Amazon prime is this an old video is for what I’ve been told there is no live TV on the homepage, any more on the latest 4K max fire stick
So they need to be authorized apps from the amazon app store, and you just have to have auto sync set up in settings. We have a video on firestick settings on the channel. Pretty easy to do. In some cases a firestick restart it required to sync them.
I'm not sure what you mean? I've added every app I've tried to it. You have to go into settings and turn on sync. It was in our setting video we posted
Sync is already on and still only have Prime Video, Tubi, Pluto, Plex, and Xumo Play. My live channel looks like yours except I don’t have Haystack. It isn’t working and I wished you would show exactly how to add an app because nothing loads except what I have already listed. Please try to add Freevee to yours and see if you are successful! I will be watching this space for an answer!
I just added 5 more apps with no problem. If there are duplicate channels they will not show. Example Freevee may have the exact same channels as pluto and so it won't show any. That might explain what you see. Is there a specific channel you want that freevee has that others dont?
@@CuriosityCafeI guess that will have to do. I know there are alot of repeated channels but surely every Freevee channel isn’t duplicated on Pluto. Same with no live channels from Roku I’m guessing😮? I did notice that we can still use the Crackle app on Firestick 👏🏻👏🏻
liking this in uk but noticed bbc cant be bothered to join in, there funeral people turning off in there millions, wont be long till they are deservedly dumped, would like to see some freeview programmes on this (like Really channel) anyone can recommend an app to add that will do this?
Great job. Love how you keep us updated on the Amazon stick
Thanks for the heads up. Gonna check now. This should be great.
thanks Mr. C for that update 👍
Thanks for update...on the update.👍
Thank you for keeping us up to date
I'm glad you made this video cause I didn't really care for the replay versus live so this is good news, thanks!
Thank you for the informative update.
Didn't know my 4k max could do all that, thanks so much Wow 😁😳
Thanks for the info.
Thank you, For the update.
Great video!
Thank You

Yes we did a video on tivimate. It’s still on Patreon if you go there
Get outta here, this is so cool, thanks bro this is awesome 😳😁
Great update
I am having an issue, or there is something I'm not doing right because I added more live programs but am not updating the guide
It’s possible you haven’t synced it in settings. Eventually it will auto sync unless you messed with the settings
@@CuriosityCafe Thanks! Do you have a tutorial on how to sync on the 4K stick?
You can customize the channels and apps displayed in your guide by:
Going to Settings from the Fire TV home screen.
Selecting Live TV or Channel Settings.
You can reorder the apps, remove certain sources, or enable/disable the display of particular live TV services or channels.

@@CuriosityCafe Thanks again it helped a great deal.
Love this. But how do I get my vos2 movie app back on my tv.

Do goggle store have an app that can do that since I only have the nvidia shield 🤔
Yes they do. It's not built into the interface like this, but plenty of apps that organize into one guide. You should be able to search the best one. The best android box that does this same thing is the BuzzTV line. They are the best for it and even have a PVR/DVR setup which is pretty awesome. Way better than the shield for this
Is there a free source to record live TV (DVR?)?
Yes, we use tivimate and codes. We have them all posted on patreon for free. Did you go there? link in the description
How do add more apps?
Well two ways. Make sure that your settings allows auto add. If not you have to hit the menu button and select the available apps. Not all apps (if illegal) are available to add. I get asked a lot about IPTVs. Yes I have Sling and RUclips TV on mine, but not illegal ones. Hope this helps.
@CuriosityCafe yea thanks, so i can add max, and netflix.
@CuriosityCafe ok thanks, it automatically added pluto, tubi, and prime, i was wanting to add max, and netflix myself.
Hey, thanks yeah I forgot about that thank you
So if you down loaded apps you can erase them and save space, right ?
Is it available for the fire TV? 4K Omni
Yes
Just got fire tv and it has those settings. Even down loaded my Direct tv app
There is no live TV symbol on the homepage, only inside Amazon prime is this an old video is for what I’ve been told there is no live TV on the homepage, any more on the latest 4K max fire stick
It’s there. Are you in the US?
I just updated my 4k fire stick, No guide under live tv and no movies and tv tab in the app store. Maybe because I'm in Canada?
Exactly. We mentioned that in the video. US and parts of UK and coming to Canada soon.
One fire stick lists sports in the guide but another does not. I check for updates almost daily and repeat the process but no change.
Now that's interesting. Are they both the same generation?
I'm in jamaica with a 4k max but I'm not seeing it on my tv... its on the remote but it's not working
It might not have rolled out to your region
I did the update, but when I go into guide am only seeing breaking news, not seeing live sports
Did you add all the sources you can? Maybe some Pluto or Xumo? Those ones have some great sports channels
Guessing it doesn't work with Lite?
It does. I have it on all our Lite units. But only in the US. Where are you located?
How do I add my paid subscriptions?
So they need to be authorized apps from the amazon app store, and you just have to have auto sync set up in settings. We have a video on firestick settings on the channel. Pretty easy to do. In some cases a firestick restart it required to sync them.
Why can’t you add channels. Can’t add live channels on Peacock or Freevee?
I'm not sure what you mean? I've added every app I've tried to it. You have to go into settings and turn on sync. It was in our setting video we posted
Sync is already on and still only have Prime Video, Tubi, Pluto, Plex, and Xumo Play. My live channel looks like yours except I don’t have Haystack.

Quick question.... Do you have a video on how to save a movie on the firestick? Used to be able on Cinema HD but it's gone now.
You still can. Just need the latest version. We have the installers on Patreon free to access
@@CuriosityCafeThanks!
Is there a trick to add Hulu and Apple TV+ channels?
No tricks. Just make sure you have your stick to auto sync all the apps
I live in Australia and as of 8am 14/11/2024 awst it is not available.
It’s coming. It’s not on all countries yet
I have the fire stick lite and I don't have the TV icon😢
What country are you in?
It’s not laid out this way in the UK.
No, but they are all becoming this way soon. That's why I'm letting people know about it now.
I dont think you can get Hulu Live TV or RUclips TV on this Live Guide
I don't have Hulu, but youtube tv can
If I could get my local news it would be a grand slam. I tried the News on app, but it's not there.
I guess it depends on your location. If you added an antenna you would get it
@CuriosityCafe I have an antenna, but by in-laws don't and I'm trying to get them off cable.
Same. I just want to find my four local channels without an antenna.
Where are you located? Just have to find an app that recognizes your area. Most pick up local news where you or your vpn is set up
Although this is a decent option. It's still does not come close to what is offered by some of the best IPTV services.
Legal or illegal? Illegal ones should proceed with caution. They are getting shut down left and right
liking this in uk but noticed bbc cant be bothered to join in, there funeral people turning off in there millions, wont be long till they are deservedly dumped, would like to see some freeview programmes on this (like Really channel) anyone can recommend an app to add that will do this?
