YouTube TV App, Now for Fire TV Devices, Is 'Cable-Free' Live TV Experience, Blogs Amazon

Amazon and Google continue to mend fences, with Amazon blogging Monday that Google's YouTube TV app is officially available for most Fire TV devices, except first-gen sticks and Fire TVs. The YouTube TV app offers more than 70 channels, said Michael Polin, Fire TV product marketing. He described the service as a “cable-free live TV experience” akin to live TV “without the hassle of renting cable boxes, scheduling complicated installations or committing to long-term contracts.” He cited its unlimited cloud DVR storage space and account-sharing for six people per household, without noting the $50 monthly fee.
