In addition, at least once over the course of using the plan, you are going to require the login credentials. After that, Amazon’s Fire TV Stick will use that information in order to match network applications with your TV subscription. This will take place automatically.

Let’s begin by locating a major network’s app and downloading it onto our devices. In this particular illustration, NBC is utilized.

1. Repeatedly pressing up on the navigation ring of the remote control will emphasize the Home category when it becomes available.

2. To access the Applications menu, you must first push the right button located on the navigation ring of the remote control.

3. Check to see that the Select button is activated.

You can highlight Categories on the main menu by pressing right on the navigation ring, and you can highlight Features on the sub-menu by pressing down on the ring. Both of these options are accessible via the navigation ring. Check to see that the Select button is activated.

5. Using the navigation ring on the remote, which may be seen further down the page, navigate to the Movies and TV section of the menu. Check to see that the Select button is activated.

6. Select an application by using the remote’s navigation ring to navigate to it, and then pressing the Select button.

7. Pressing the Select button on the remote will bring the next screen up, where you should highlight the Get button.

After installing the app, you will have access to a restricted library where you may stream full episodes, news pieces, and other network content.

8. Launch the NBC app, and once it’s open, head to the Live section of the app’s main menu.

9. While the guide is open, choose a broadcast to watch. Here, we went with the NBC affiliate in the local area.

10. A screen that lists various TV providers, like Cox, DirecTV, Spectrum, Verizon, and others, is displayed when you open the app. Choose a service for your television.

11. Before the app can link to your TV provider, you might or might not be required to check in with your credentials.
