More free, easy to find content I: Fire TV

Amazon has improved the way you can find free content on a Fire TV device. Amazon has grouped their free as-supported television (FAST) content into the "Channels" app, making it a one-stop place for free content on your Fire TV device.

What makes it different from other FAST apps is that this pulls from multiple sources. This actually makes it a lot like Roku Channel in this regard. They even took the name "Channels", but that's giving Roku too much credit. The layout is like you would see on cable, where your channels are listed, so this naming makes sense.

Anything that makes it easier to find free content is a good thing. Amazon did a good thing.

My Streaming Life is more Roku focuses, but things such as this are why I still use Fire TV on occasion. This is a good feature, and I suspect that Fire TV users will appreciate it.
