FIRE TV COMPATIBILITY
ChannelDeck supports sideloading on compatible Fire TV devices. DVR recording and Multi-view require Fire OS 8 on Android API 30 or newer. ChannelDeck disables those two workloads on older Fire OS versions because testing showed they can restart older hardware. Other supported ChannelDeck features remain available.

ChannelDeck does not provide, host, sell, recommend, or distribute television channels, subscriptions, playlists, or third-party media. You must supply your own legally obtained and authorized sources. Feature availability depends on the information, stream formats, connection limits, and media supplied by your source. Screenshots use fictional demonstration content.
