Jan. 30, 2021



While thesmart TVexperience on Fire TV Stick is pretty good, there are users who want a traditional experience, just like they had on their STB boxes. No, I am not talking aboutinstalling Kodiandlive TV addons. Amazon has brought a separate Live TV section where you can add free live TV channels and experience them in a scrollable, grid layout. And the best part is that some apps have already started making changes to adapt to the new timeline UI. So if you want to add free live TV channels on Fire TV Stick and experience them in classic fashion then here are the steps to follow.

Before we begin, let me clarify a few points. Currently, there are only a few apps that take advantage of the Live TV feature and thoseapps are mainly from the US. I tried using some Indian live TV apps such as YuppTV, Voot, and nexGTV, but they didn’t show up in the live TV timeline. So if you are from the US, you can go ahead and try this feature without any issues.

  1. There are many free live TVapps such as Sling TV, Pluto TV, Tubi TV, and more. In this article, I am going to show how you can add 36 free live TV channels from Sling TV on Fire TV Stick.

  2. First off, press the “Alexa” button on the Fire TV remote and say “Sling TV”. It will take you directly to the installation page. Click on “Download” to install the app.

  3. After that, open the app and log in to Sling TV. If you don’t have an account, you cansign up for a free accountfromhere. Keep in mind, during sign up, you don’t need to enter any card details. Just after sign up, close the website. You will have your account created.

  4. Now, back to Fire TV Stick. Move to Settings and open “Live TV“.

  5. Here, move to “Sync Sources“.

  6. Now, add “Sling TV“.

  7. After that, go back and open “Manage Channels“.

  8. Here, click on “Sling TV” and voila. You willfind all live TV channelsoffered by the Sling TV in a timeline UI on your Fire TV Stick. This is how you can add other apps like Pluto TV, Red Bull TV, etc. as well.
