Live TV has a new home on Fire TV

“Alexa, tune to HBO Family.”

We’ve all been there, the infinite scroll. Scrolling around with no idea what to watch. Good news for the indecisive folks in the room, with the new On Now row and Channel Guide on Fire TV, it’s easier than ever to watch Live TV with Amazon Channels.

Amazon Channels is the Prime benefit that lets Prime members subscribe to over 100 channels, with no cable required, no apps to download, and can cancel anytime. Most movies and TV shows included in your subscriptions are available to watch on demand. Some channels also feature Watch Live, which gives you the option to live stream programming on supported devices the same time that it’s broadcast on TV. That means you’ll be able to watch and live tweet Westworld when everyone else is watching.

On Now ✨

Here at Fire TV, we want to make it really easy to discover the live programming available to you. If you’re signed up for HBO, SHOWTIME, STARZ, or Cinemax through Amazon Channels, you will see a new row on your homepage called On Now. That row will show you all of the programming that is live now.

On Later ⏰

In addition to this handy dandy row, you will also have the ability to look into the future 🔮. If you’re curious what’s on later today or coming up in the next two weeks, you can use the new Channel Guide to browse the entire schedule. To launch the Guide, simply press the Options button (looks like a hamburger) on the Alexa Voice Remote while watching Live TV and see your channels and all the future programming information. Don’t forget to ️favorite ⭐️ your top channels so that they show up first in your Guide. Coming up this weekend, SHOWTIME Showcase will be airing Death Becomes Her and St. Elmo’s Fire; who needs weekend plans when two of the best movies are on?!
