MONTREAL – Bell’s Alt TV customers can now access their favourite channels and on demand content using the basic edition of Amazon’s Fire TV Stick.
Accessed via the Fibe TV app and available to select Fibe Internet customers, the Alt TV service requires no traditional subscription, installation or set-top box to watch TV on smartphones, laptops, tablets or traditional TV.
Amazon’s streaming media player plugs into a television’s HDMI port, and the Fire TV Stick basic edition is available on Amazon.ca for $49.99.
Bell said Tuesday that it is now the first Canadian TV provider to offer an app on Amazon’s streaming media player, adding that Fibe TV and satellite TV customers can also access their content on the Fibe TV app via the Fire TV Stick.
“Amazon Fire TV Stick offers Alt TV customers even more flexibility to access over 500 live and on demand channels on the screens of their choice,” said Bell residential and small business services president Rizwan Jamal, in the news release. “It’s another Canadian first from Bell as we continue to transform the TV viewing experience.”
