I’ve never heard of Amazon Fire TV. I have a Fire stick and Prime (mostly for shipping, video and music). What’s the app?

I have no idea. I have an old, old TV that I only use to watch DVDs, played on a 10 year-old DVD/Blueray player. LOL Anything else, I just watch on my laptop. I don't know nothin' about all these new-fangled contraptions. :)

Amazon Fire stick is basically a Linux dongle you plug into your tv to run streaming apps. Uses wifi. I cut cable when I was laid off and now that I have a new job I’m still not going back to cable. Sling and Prime are enough for me. I’ll be getting Disney+ for the Star Wars content because they ARE going to fix it and I’m not missing that! Not liking it but not missing it!

The “app” is the application that is running your Amazon fire stick. So this is basically Amazon fire tv.
RSBN is saying they will have an app you can download onto your firestick.
This app will then let u watch their programming on your firestick.

Me neither until about 4 months ago because I wanted to watch some streaming programs (for free) and got a used Roku TV device.

All you need is decent broadband internet and wireless network, we use the Xfinity router (some models also have Ethernet) - and you have thousands of free channels and if you already had Cable TV you can watch a lot of those channels across Roku as well, for instance if you have the Weather Channel and activate it on Roku you get additional interactive features like local forecasts and radar.

Definitely worth the $30 and a little effort to connect some wires
