XUMO integrates 50 Free Channels into Fire TVs Live Program Guide

[ASCiiDiTY 5]

XUMO is the latest app to integrate into the Fire TV’s Live Experience. The Comcast owned streaming service, which touts both on-dmand and live movies and TV shows for free, has made 50 of its channels available in the Fire TV’s Live tab and channel guide.

If you install the XUMO app, you’ll now find a new Xumo row in the Fire TV’s Live tab. This integration seems to still be rolling out or it takes a few days to show up, so you might not see it appear immediately. Like all Live integrated services, you can mark channels as favorites so that they appear at the front of the row in the Live tab and at the top of the channel guide.

In the Fire TV channel guide, which can be accessed through a button in the Live tab or by saying “Open Guide” into the voice remote, you’ll find the 50 XUMO channels listed in a traditional EPG grid. Of course, you can go to Settings > Live TV > Manage Channels to hide any channels that you don’t care to see. XUMO’s app description says they offer over 190 channels but only 50 of those seem to be integrated into the Fire TV’s Live experience at this time.
