Which Fire TV devices work?
WalisTV runs on Fire TV devices with Fire OS, which is based on Android:
- Fire TV Stick Lite, Fire TV Stick, Fire TV Stick 4K and 4K Max
- Fire TV Cube
- Smart TVs with Fire TV built in that run Fire OS
Some newer models run Amazon’s Vega OS (for example the Fire TV Stick 4K Select). Vega OS cannot install apps from outside the Amazon Appstore, so WalisTV cannot run on those models. To check yours: Settings › My Fire TV › About.
