Which one is mine?
Android TV, Google TV and Fire TV are the same app
Fire TV runs Amazon's version of Android (Fire OS), so one app file works on all three. The steps are the same; only the settings menus have different names, so each has its own page.
Not supported: Vega OS
Amazon's newest Fire TV Sticks (starting with the Fire TV Stick 4K Select) run a new system called Vega OS. It cannot install apps like this one, so BackWhenTV cannot run on it. Use the web player on your phone or computer instead, or one of the other devices above. Which Fire TVs use Vega OS?
Also not supported (yet)
Apple TV, Samsung (Tizen) and LG (webOS) TVs, Vizio SmartCast, and game consoles have no app. You can still cast the web player from a phone or computer if your TV supports Chromecast, or AirPlay from Safari to an Apple TV.
