I love the concept of this device, just plug in and have most streaming/catchup services available, I even have Cloud TV & Kodi on it.
But will it ever get ITV & All4? I found the apps but they are not supported by Amazon and don't work, surely this device needs all major catchup services on it.
Right now only
BBC IPlayer
STV Player
My 5 (Demand 5)
The ITV Hub demanded you input a postcode and the screen went a funny shape, All4 got stuck on the accept cookies screen
I installed TVPlayer which is useful for live channels on a remote TV, but now they don't load and it's prompting an update to the app but there's nothing on Fire Stick to make it happen, I would have to resort to using "AGK Fire" to push it on.
It gives a great picture but needs some sorting out, it doesn't have enough and too many damn things require the game controller for some reason. Surely it's going to annoy people if they buy this and can't get ITV Hub or All4, takes away quite a bit of it's usefulness, other devices such as the Youview box, PS3 & PS4 manage to have all catchup services fine, why is it so difficult for Amazon Fire Stick?
As an aside the first four episodes of "Better Call Saul" are available for 49p each in HD, that's some good news at least, I bought them since the Blu-Ray is expensive
If you have Amazon Fire Stick, you can use STV Player as a workaround and input a scottish postcode, that way you can still get Coronation Street or The Chase etc, but why haven't ITV sorted it yet!

I don't have the fire stick but I have the fire TV and ITV Hub and All 4 have been available for some time.
