Do people still watch satellite TV these days

[Jimbo]

You didn't read my post I guess. The Firestick "Live" feature brings the listings for multiple apps into one listing, similar to cable and satellite.

I've never heard of Firestick Live .... then again, I don't use Firestick ...

Amazon Fire TV Home

With tens of thousands of channels, apps and Alexa, Amazon Fire TV offers your favorite subscriptions and streaming services. Shop now and watch the best of live TV.

So basically, they are building a TV around Firestick, same as what Roku did awhile back.

FireTV's and FireTVsticks have been around since 2014. "Live" is a menu item on the FireTV series home page. It's one of the reasons I prefer FireTVsticks over Roku.

To be honest DTV really never made profit!!!

Directv was quite profitable when AT&T owned them. The profits drying up were more about the macro environment and not about anything AT&T could have done. Look, it's cool that you hate AT&T, but you should couch your facts in reality, not because you hate AT&T for one reason or another.

The Live TV thing has been a feature on FireTV devices for quite some time. I want to say at least 6-7 years. it is a tab on the home screen that aggregates all the live streams across all the apps you have installed - Xumo, Pluto, Tubi, Amazon channels and I think Plex, along with a few others I can't remember.

It's actually a great feature and you can favorite the channels you like. The issue for me was a lot of duplication as many FAST channels are generally available on every FAST service, so while there's 250 channels showing up on the Live TV screen, there's probably 100 unique ones. Favorites solve this, but I wished the app was smarter and would collapse duplicates.
