I really like the Live TV guide on my Fire TV, now that it integrates YouTube TV. How do I keep it as my guide, after I pick a show to watch? Once I start watching something, and hit the back button to get to the guide, it goes back to the YouTube TV app guide.

Is anyone using an anime app that is compatible with the fire tv? If so which one(s)? I tried side loading the Animefreak app from their website, however the fire TV remote doesn't allow me to select any videos.
Thanks!

There's an anime app on the Fire TV app store called Manga that's pretty good. You can also try Crunchyroll that can either downloaded directly from the Google Play Store, if you have it installed. Or you can download the apk from somewhere and sideload it. Netflix also has some good animes on it like Naruto Shippuden, a Bleach movie, and some other stuff.
In some of the anime app cost to watch the anime series is much more but 9anime is much better with free one to watch.
I made an account just to tell this since I think you'd be very happy with this.
Just sideload this app: https://github.com/XenTeckzX/FireAnime
So I'm having extreme frustrations with the native Youtube app for my Fire TV Stick. It's often slow, randomly crashes, CONSTANTLY lags without fail, and I can't even use the Amazon Fire TV Android app to type to search. It's just not an overall well done app for the Stick at least. I can't speak about the Fire TV Box, which I might purchase due to some sluggishness with the Stick (i.e. Youtube, Kodi, etc) So, I've tried other alternatives on the Amazon Appstore. Namely OneTube. It works decently, but it doesn't look too pretty, is difficult to find things when I don't know what I want to watch, and no Cast/pair support.
The older Youtube for Google TV works well, but unfortunately, when using the remote, I can't click the search box to search anything lol.
I've used the Youtube for Android TV 1.0.5.5 app(sideloaded) and, minus the regular complaints about the app itself, runs great! No lag, videos work fine, and I can type to search with the Amazon Fire TV app on my phone. Downside is that I can't seem to find a pair device setting in the app itself :/ Now maybe I need to sideload google play services in order to get it to show up? I'm not sure, but I thought that was only necessary if you wanted to sign into your YouTube account.
So my question is are there any alternate YouTube players that work well, or is there a way to pair my device with the new Youtube for Android TV app?
The kodi YouTube app works very well and you could use yatse to cast videos to it.

i just brought this thing just for youtube tv and i cant seem to find the app to watch tv ... any way get this to work before i return it ?
basically, i want it to work like it was a tablet so i can use the remote to switch over the channels
If the app is not available in the Play Store of Android TV then you can download it from:
http://www.apkmirror.com/?post_type=app_release&searchtype=apk&s=youtube+tv
sideload it and install it. You must enable Unknown Sources.
There are many videos that shows you how to do that and install sideloaded apps.
However, once done it could or not work properly, the service and app are very new.

Doesn't work right
The app runs in portrait mode, and only accepts the left/right directional keys. This means you can't actually watch any channels or recordings.
Whenever I use youtube app on my android mobile there is a small casting button on top, when pressed it directly opens the video on my smart TV.
Now, can I use the Fire Stick the same way to instantly cast youtube videos to my non smart TV ?
PS: I want to Cast not Mirror.
Also, off-topic... many of my videos does not play or doesn't have sound when played on TV via USB saying format not supported. What kind of simple device do I have to buy/use so that I can play all by personal videos and also have services inbuilt like Netflix and Amazon prime ?
I came across a youtube video which showed pretty much everything available to watch on the 4k fire tv stick.
Can't type the video because I don't have enough posts but you can search it on youtube by typing in: "Flossy Carter Amazon 4K Fire TV Stick". Flossy Carter is just reviewing the product from the guys that sell it.
I just wanted to get the firestick 4k to watch all of the fresh prince shows. If you watch the youtube video to the end, he shows some app called cyberflix tv or something like that and you can watch any show on there.
Does this mean this device is rooted? The company that sells these is called affordablesticks/fsusa and they sell them preloaded with all of these apps. Just wanted to get some info on if this can be done on my firestick 4k as well.
