I tried to activate FXNOW on my Fire TV (rooted), but apparently Playstation Vue is not a valid provider for it. I was able to activate it with Vue on a regular Android device, so I'm wondering if there's some workaround for Fire TV.
I was wondering the same thing?
Hi,
My Panasonic TV normally switches on automatic when I press a button on the remote of my second generation fire tv stick, but this stopped after the June 15 update on my stick. Hdmi cec is turned on on the stick as well as on the TV. Is it a known bug? Or what else could I check?
Seeing the same on a Phillips tv. Stock FireTV Stick v2
Ditto, same problem with HDMI-CEC not working

I am also experiencing the same problem with Nvidia Shield 1st generation and the AFTV 2nd generation box. Each box got an update within a week or two from each other. After the updates, none of the AFTV or the NS boxes HDMI-CEC features work anymore. I have checked and rechecked and have completed a series of resets and tests to verify functionality, but each had the results of not working.
I am wondering if the developer vender is the same one that is hired by each company. If that is the case, then there could be more devices out there that is experiencing the same issue. Anyone have a fix or know of a knowledge database where I can check to see if there is a fix or a workaround?
Try the Home button on the fire TV remote. I noticed the same behavior with/to my LG television, formerly every button switched on my TV. Since the update only the Home works.

Has anyone figured out a fix to this? I am also experiencing this issue on my Samsung TV. I've tried all buttons, no avail. This issue exists on both of my Amazon devices: Fire TV 2nd Gen and 3rd Gen.
Same here
I have the same problem. Hdmi CEC stopped working on my Fire TV (1. Gen). CEC ist active on my TV and Fire TV but the TV (Samsung) does not turn on anymore. Failure is in Amazon device, because my Google Chromecast and PS4 do turn on the TV. A already swapped the Hdmi ports to exclude failure in the port on the TV. I'm sure the Amazon Fire TV is guilty. Amazon is crap in terms of software development and bug fixing. For example, the android companion app for alexa does not work on my devices with android pie. It crashs at start. Amazon support told me, I should test an older version of the app... several month passed, still no solution - that's very unprofessional. I replaced all Echos by Google Homes. Now it seems, it is time to replace all Fire TVs.
Remember Aereo? It offered streaming over-the-air TV service. The TV networks sued and Aereo lost 5-4. They soon went out of business.
Not there's a not-for-profit (i.e., FREE) version of this: Locast.
It works great on my PC and Android device. I sideloaded the apk on my Fire TV. The interface is smart enough to work with the Fire TV remote, but the streams will not play. I'm not sure why. Maybe it needs to verify location and can't? There are no errors displayed.
It would be great to get this working. I have a rooted Fire TV 1, so I can try installing apps to (maybe) spoof location info. If anyone has advice, please let me know.
Locast released their app for the Fire TV officially. Thread closed.
Hi All,
Is there some magic involved in getting this TV to turn off / on via google assitant?
It has an inbuilt chrome cast that works, and linked to my google home account, but it will not function to turning on or off the TV.
I have set the TV to quick start but no luck.
I have also plugged in a chromecast that works with my other TV (LG) and that functions fine in being able to turn tv off/on. When i plug it in the TCL nothing, it works as a chromecast for casting, and it turns on the TV if i send something to cast to it, but not via voice.
Any pointers would be appreciated.
THanks.

good tv for android 2020
Hi there,
have searched all over and have come up short. was wondering if the TCL 55P4US could run Android TV or Google TV.
Really, what i want to do with it, is just control the Power on or off via network
Thanks
