I received the invite but I am having trouble figuring out how to download the Channels app for Fire TV. Here is what I received from Amazon.

===================================

Download the Amazon Underground App on your Android device here:
https://www.amazon.com/app-email

===================================

To install the Amazon Underground App, just follow these 3 steps:

  1. Update Phone Settings
    -Go to your phone Settings page and tap Security or Applications (varies with device)
    -Check the Unknown Sources box and confirm with OK

  2. Install
    -Go to Your Downloads
    -Open Downloads on your device by going to My Files or Files
    -Tap on the Amazon App File (Amazon_App.apk)
    -Tap Install when prompted

  3. Launch Amazon Underground
    -Tap Open to launch the Amazon Underground App
    -Sign in, open the left Menu
    -Select Apps & Games, where you’ll find over ten thousand of dollars in apps, games and even in-app items that are actually free—unlimited lives, levels, upgrades and more.

===========================================================

I’ve tried to follow the directions but have not had success. Does anyone have some guidance that may help me get the Channels app installed on my Fire TV? Thanks.

Hmm I’m not sure if Amazon Underground is related…

You should have gotten an email with a link to install Channels

Problem solved. I was logged into my business account where I should have been logged into my personal account.

I have a Fire TV with a Synology RS815+. The user interface is working well. However, whenever I play anything, there is a lot of buffering. A few seconds playing followed by a few seconds of buffering and it goes continuously both for Live and Recorded content. Let me know if there is anything I can do to remedy this problem or if you need more information.

Try changing the web transcoder settings on the DVR web settings UI to a lower rate.
