Amazon Fire TV has bolstered its lineup of live streaming channels to more than 400 — half of which are free, ad-supported offerings — and has updated several features.
Nearly 20 programmers are supplying live channel content, among them bundled subscription services like YouTube TV, Sling TV and Philo. Newly integrated on Fire are free offerings like Xumo and Amazon’s IMDb TV and news app. Plex will soon join the fold.
Voice commands via Amazon Alexa have also been added to live TV programs. Alexa will respond to commands to “play Good Morning America” or “play the Seahawks game,” for example.
Live shows also now appear in the “App Peek” feature of the updated Fire TV user interface. If a viewer hovers over Pluto TV in the main navigation, they will see what is on the ViacomCBS-owned live streaming outlet and then be able to go to that program.
