Does anyone know which Fire TV sticks will work with Channels? Is there a list somewhere that says which Fire tV will or won't work with channels? I just ordered the Fire TV HD from Amazon and tried it. It couldn't;t find the channels app.
The 4k Plus and the 4k Max are android based devices that Channels will work on. I use the 4k Max devices, purchased before the large price increases.

I just hope that the Fire TV 4K Max still has the FireOS on it and not the VegaOS, The ad on Amazon say (newest model) in the description.
FTV Stick 4K Max devices run on Android. I have two hosting the Channels client app with no problem.

My Echo Show surprisingly supports the Channels app without issues.
Amazon has just released a new 4k model with a newly designed remote. It does use the new Vega OS, but Emby is supporting this new OS. I have been testing Emby in case Channels DVR is not able to support the current Fire OS anymore. Emby has a new upgraded version that seems to work fairly well for me. I can connect any Channels DVR source to Emby, so I can keep my TVE channels available. I still prefer Channels DVR generally, but I may order one of the new 4k devices so I can do further testing with Emby.
