If you load Kodi onto it you can watch t.v. and you can also watch free movies. Youtube search for "Kodi on firestick without computer" to learn how to add it to the firestick - then also search youtube for "add fusion to Kodi". You'll be amazed

The answer to that question depends on how you interpret watching a channel. This is not a cable box so you wouldn't be able to flip through any channels which would technically answer your question as no. The bright side to this is the Channels you've mentioned do have their own apps in which you can download onto the fire stick via the Amazon App Store and watch the network channels at any time. You can also choose any episode at any time and pause and rewind as you wish. Please be aware that some apps may request a monthly fee to stream but there are also many TV stations who let you stream absolutely free. A quick google search should help you in determining which ones you can watch free. Enjoy!

It does not have an internal TV antenna. I purchased a seperate digital antenna to get local channels.

Each network has free apps that you can download for free-market but the subscription costs. There are ways around this though. You can also download things like Hulu or sling t.v... They give you a free trial it's a number of television channels on one app live. Just Google Fire stick watching methods and research it that way. We have a smart t.v. So I don't know if that attributed to us not needing an antenna. I initially purchased an antenna but returned it... Didn't need it with the fire stick.

As it stands, no you can't watch regular tv. You can download various apps and watch all of the tv programs though.

Nated2 · Answer

no it does not have an built in antenna. You can not watch over the air tv on it. For that you will need a digital antenna and receiver.

You can download certain channel apps that allows you to watch TV or tv shows that they broadcast. They have HBO Gomez, Fox, CBS and a bunch more. I believe you have to have a subscription or a code in order for them to work.

It does not have an antenna to pick up local channels (but that only cost me an additional $30 and works GREAT) but it does have apps for all the motor networks.

The problem is some of them are free and some you have to subscribe to.

I don't watch it near as much as my wife does so can't give more detail than that, such as which are free vs. cost.

But, considering I got my Firestick on sale, it was DEFINITELY worth what I paid.

Wife LOVES it!
