If you don’t have a Fire TV Stick don’t panic as you can also tune into this service via your phone, web browser, Smart TV, Roku device and Apple TV.
This latest Fire TV boost could come at the perfect time with UK authorities recently conforming on their biggest-ever crackdowns on devices that offer access to illegal streams.
The operation has targeted sellers of so-called pre-loaded Fire TV Sticks with notices service to residents in areas such as London, South East England, West Midlands, North West, North East, North Wales and Scotland.
A total of 40 providers were identified, investigated, and served with official warnings by the team at FACT.
Three people have also been arrested as part of the operation with so-called ‘fully loaded’ devices seized and currently undergoing forensic examination. Additionally, Sky is also actively working to remove listings and social media posts selling illegal IPTV subscriptions and ‘loaded’ Firesticks in the UK and Ireland with over 3,000 taken down.
Speaking about the latest clampdown, Kieron Sharp, FACT CEO, said: “These measures underscore the serious consequences of engaging in such illicit activities. We thank the police services involved for their invaluable assistance in this operation.
“The rise in illegal IPTV operators using modified Firesticks to unlawfully access premium content is a growing concern. This not only infringes upon copyright laws but deprives content creators and distributors of their rightful earnings and disrupts the economic balance of the creative industry.
