Everybody wants to know what channels Amazon’s Fire TV has to offer compared to other streaming media players such as Apple TV, Chromecast, and most specifically Roku. While Roku players still have many more channels, Amazon is not wasting any time getting the most popular channels added to the Fire TV lineup. And, even though the channel most in demand may be HBO Go (likely driven by the popularity of “Game of Thrones” series), Amazon is promising the release of several new channels (some of them not available on Roku) by the end of this year. HBO Go hasn’t been officially been announced yet, but here’s the lineup coming your way.

Disappointed so far after 1 week. I specifically wanted soccer channels NBC sports/soccer network, fox soccer channels, GOL TV. The only soccer channel is BEIN sports and that carries more taped games than live ones. If you had these, I can get a whole lot of my soccer colleagues to buy in. So for now, I’ll have to stay with expensive DirecTV. What a mess!
Thanks for nothing.
We would like to watch local news nbc ,cbs and hallmark and msnbc.Will any of these be available?
