In this episode, I talk about the new 5.2.4.0 Fire TV software update that brings the new user interface and why it’s taking so long to arrive on devices. I then go over the Fire TV update process in detail to explain how updates are distributed. Next I go over all the latest app news including my Downloader app being removed from Amazon, Syfy ,Bravo, ABC News, and much more. The episode concludes with a Q&A session where I answer questions from the audience.
