Mary, I have the Tosheba Fire TV with Alexa built-in, 41 or 43 inch. I tried using both this week. Again, I found that the Fire TV would identify the channels, what was on and even the items which one could access if you did not wish to watch live TV. I found this especially useful when dealing with TCM, Turner Classic Movies and other movie channels, not the premium channels, but the ones which come with a subscription to either Sling Orange or Sling Blue. An addendum to this is that in some cases, like Ted TV which is available from the list of apps which one can use with the Fire tTV and also VH1 that although one can open them, they are not necessarily functional. That is to say that one can not access the information within some of these apps. This is also true of Tune-in for the Fire TV and also Ted for the Fire TV.

I tried a trial of sling TV several weeks ago. I also have an Apple TV and a fire TV. And I found it not very accessible on either one. I was talking to Chris from Mystic access. And he said it was really accessible on the Roku. The Roku voice is so awful that I didn’t go there. And I canceled before I have to start paying for the service. So I’m wondering when you did your trial, and was the app recently updated?

No comparison, Sling TV is just barely accessible with the Apple TV and most accessible with the Fire TV, or the Fire TV Stick/Cube. Just thought you'd like to know.
