In this episode, I talk about the new revised 5.2.1.0 Fire TV software update and its rooting potential. I also discuss FireStarter’s future and what the developer plans to do with the app, as well as mounting an NTFS drive or microSD card. Apple has made changes to their app store, so I talk about what it means for Amazon Video apps on the Apple TV.
