[Electronics-Talk] Fire TV, Apple TV, etc.

[Aleeha Dudley]

Hi all, 
There is an issue right now where the YouTube TV apps are not available for Amazon FireTV devices. It’s unfortunate, but I’ve gotten around it by using my Apple TV hooked up to the FireTV. Hopefully Amazon and Google will soon get along again.

Now, what I don't know is, some of the apps, you might possibly have to pay for a monthly subscription to get at their content. That being said, most things locally like CBS, Fox, NBC, ABC, etc, as far as I know you shouldn't have to do that. You should most likely be able to just install them, and they just work. Keep in mind, same as anything, accessibility might vary from app to app. I don't have any of those you mentioned installed, so right now, I can't easily test.
