Amazon has recently made some exciting updates to their Fire TV app, including a new feature that allows users to access The Roku Channel for free. This means that Fire TV users can now enjoy around 50 FAST channels, offering free movies, TV shows, and sports programs without the need for an additional subscription or device. By simply selecting the Live Guide option on the updated Fire TV home screen, users can easily navigate to The Roku Channel and start enjoying the content.
In addition to this, Amazon has also introduced a free HDMI extender for Roku Streaming Stick users in the US. While Amazon includes an extender with the Fire TV Stick, Roku does not, which can make it challenging to connect the Roku device to your TV in tight spaces or when multiple devices are already plugged in. To address this issue, Roku is offering users the opportunity to request a free HDMI extender through an online form on their website.
To request the HDMI extender, users will need to provide their details and the serial number of their Roku Stick. The serial number can be found on the back of the device, in the Roku mobile app under View System Info, or on the TV by navigating to Settings, then System, and then About. Once the request is submitted, Roku will send the free HDMI extender to the provided address.
These updates from Amazon and Roku not only address common connectivity issues for streaming stick users but also enhance the entertainment value for cord-cutters by expanding their free streaming content options. With detailed instructions provided for requesting the HDMI extender, users can easily resolve any connectivity issues and enjoy seamless streaming experiences.
