Last note: There are live streaming services such as DIRECTV Now and Sling TV that sell cable-like programming bundles starting at $25 a month. But, again, I suspect from your question that you are looking to watch a cable service such as Comcast or Charter without getting a cable subscription. You could argue this means the Fire TV stick gives you access to cable.

(This service, known as TV Everywhere, is also available on numerous other devices including Apple TV, Roku and the IPhone and iPad.) You can download an app for channels such as HBO, CNN and TBS on your stick and watch them on your TV without need of another cable set-top. If you already have a cable subscription, most cable TV services (and satellite TV) will enable you to watch your subscribed channels via apps on the Fire TV stick.
But if I can broaden your definition of cable a bit, I might be able to help. I suspect that’s not exactly what you’re looking for.Ĭomcast and Cox have similar apps, but they, too, are not compatible with the Fire TV stick (or other Fire TV products.) Plus, if it did work on the stick, you would need to have a subscription to Charter’s TV service (which includes a set-top) to access the programming on the Internet as well as a subscription to one of Charter’s Internet plans. However, user reports say it doesn’t work on the stick. (But mostly no.)Ĭharter Cable (under the Spectrum brand name) has an app available on Fire TV tablets and set-tops that enables you to watch live channels and On Demand programming. Now to your second question: Can you access cable TV on the Fire TV stick? The price for an Amazon Fire TV stick starts at $39.99. Once installed, you can use it to connect your television to your Internet’s WiFi network, which allows you to stream hundreds, if not thousands, of TV channels on the Net such as Netflix, HBO Now, DIRECTV Now, Sling TV and Amazon Prime Video. Bri, for starters, a Fire TV streaming stickis a small device from Amazon that is connected to an HDMI port in your television.
