UK Fire TV Stick users get ten BBC channels live

Amazon Fire TV Stick users in the UK can now enjoy a significant update. For the first time, they can access all ten of the BBC's live channels. This change comes after years of waiting and brings BBC content directly to Fire TV devices. The updated channels include BBC One, BBC Two, BBC Three, and BBC News, among others. This is a big improvement, as the BBC has been absent from the Fire TV's live tab until now. Previously, users could only access BBC content through the iPlayer app. The update allows viewers to see what is currently airing on each channel. It also includes a program description feature and the ability to set favorite channels. However, there’s a downside: users cannot watch shows that have already aired. While this upgrade improves the live TV experience, it still doesn't match the number of channels offered by paid services like Sky and Virgin. Free alternatives also exist, such as Pluto TV and Amazon's Freevee, providing users with more options.
