“With Live TV integration, we are making this experience even better by providing instant access to popular, real-time content for our customers without having to switch inputs. It enriches the content experience by streaming live TV on the much-loved Fire TV interface, just by asking Alexa. Amazon will continuously expand this selection and offer the best of live TV experiences to our customers,” said Parag Gupta, Head of Amazon Devices, India.

The new Live TV update adds an ‘On Now’ section on the Fire TV home screen and a ‘Live’ tab in the navigation panel. The On Now section lists all the channels that are live and viewers can tune in to watch their favourite programs. The Fire TV channel guide will help users browse and access live content under the ‘Options’ row. 

Amazon recently launched the Fire TV Lite and for new users, accessing the channel guide is simple as the bundled Alexa Voice Remote Lite has a dedicate ‘Guide’ button. You can read more about the new Fire TV devices here.

New users of the Fire TV devices can access Live TV a few weeks after activating their devices and the live channel suggestions will be added to the home screen after downloading the apps.
