1) See Rai channels
To see Rai channels on Fire TV, open theAppstore included in the device, we look for the app RaiPlay and add it to the device.
Once the app has been added, go to the gear icon, press on it with the remote control, go to the screen Live TVwe select the item Sync Sourceswe press on RaiPlay and let the Fire TV synchronize all RAI channels available for streaming.
At the end of the operation, press the key closepress the Home button on the remote control, select the menu Live and choose which Rai channel to see among those visible in the screen below.
Without going through the Rai app, we have integrated the state TV channels directly into the Fire TV interface: from now on, just go to the menu Live and choose what to see. At the time of writing 14 RAI channels are available for viewingfrom the main channels via Rai Yoyo, Rai Gulp and Rai News 24.
2) See the Mediaset channels
To view Mediaset content on Fire TV Stick we will first have to open theAppstore integrated on the device and then search and install the app Mediaset Infinity.
After installing this app on your Fire TV, open it from the section Home o The mie app and choose what to see among the various dramas, television programs and films provided by the Mediaset app.
It is currently not possible to watch live TV channels from the official app or from the browser built into the Fire TV (Amazon Silk), probably at the specific request of Mediaset (which generates its income from live viewing on digital terrestrial).
Nothing prevents us from downloading a alternative browser for Fire TV and access the live links by pressing on the search bar of the browser or of the Google site, holding down the key Alexa of the remote control by saying Mediaset or the channel to watch live and clicking on the search result with access to live TV.
The best browsers for Fire TV (in APK format) can be transferred directly from your Android phone using an app like App2Firewhich we talked about in the guide on su how to add apk apps to fire tv.
3) See other TV channels
In addition to the Rai and Mediaset apps, we can download the apps from on our Fire TV La7 e you Discovery, thus gaining access to the relevant channels without having to use the integrated browser. Both apps are available in the Appstore and are perfectly optimized for use on the Fire TV, with the key Guard now present directly in the home app (on La7) or after opening your favorite Discovery channel (on the Discovery app).
As a valid alternative we can always look for the links for the live viewing on Amazon Silk: in this case there are no blocks and we can see any streaming and live video without problems, taking care to press the Full screen button after finding the TV channel to view.
