Summarize the new features of live programs on Amazon Fire TV. There are still two weeks of schedule-AV Watch.

Amazon Fire TVシリーズに追加された「ライブ」タブ

On the 10th, Amazon added a new feature "Live" tab to the Amazon Fire TV series. Content published in real time by corresponding services such as ABEMA, Hulu, Twitch, etc., can be viewed in the list and accessed directly without starting the application of each service. The 2-week schedule can also be read.

The Live tab initially provides services such as ABEMA, Hulu, Red Bull TV, Amazon Prime Video Channel, and Twitch. It is expected that DAZN will also deal with it from September to October. After that, the corresponding services also increased in turn.

So far, various applications have been launched to show the live programs in the application, but the live content of each service can be viewed uniformly in the live broadcast tab and can be accessed quickly.

Arrange the channels in the current live broadcast on the top horizontal line of the live broadcast label screen, and preview and display the real-time playing image in the upper right corner of the screen when the cursor is aimed at the channel. In fact, you can confirm what kind of live broadcast is going on even if you don't access the content.

On the horizontal line of the live movement, there are fighting channel, giant LIVE stream, ABEMA's SPORTS channel and other services are all "live sports" programs.

In addition, the content arranged in these on-site label screens is only the service of the audio-visual contract. Even content that is published for free will not be displayed on the Live tab if you do not download the service's application.

There is also a separate horizontal line for each service, such as ABEMA, Hulu and Amazon Prime Video channels.

The red broadcast location bar is displayed on the program thumbnail in the live broadcast release, which can confirm the extent to which the live broadcast release of the program is carried out.

In the program screen "Channel Guide", a 2-week letter reservation for channels with audio-visual rights is displayed. If you register a program in your favorites, you can also display the program at the top. In addition, there is no audio-visual reservation function.

Amazon's Orange Hongzhi said: "the live tab function has been supported in the United States since July 2019. In the United States, the content of cable TV can also be summarized as Fire TV, but after the start of the live tab, the time spent using the home screen has doubled on average, which is very effective. There will be more content in Japan, and I look forward to making you happy. "

"after the official start of AbemaTV in 2016, we continue to strengthen the equipment expansion in order to bring a comfortable viewing experience in any scene," said Keizhong Nagase, the developer of AbemaTV "ABEMA". We are pleased to increase the opportunities to watch programs through Fire TV's new tabs and live performances, and we look forward to ABEMA becoming a service that goes deeper into life.

Martin Jones Executive Vice President of DAZN Japan Investment said: "the fun of sports is watching on the big screen. We can send it to the living room of the world, including Japan, but by analyzing which devices are used in the living room, you can see that the Fire TV series is widely used. We believe that the new tab feature will make it easier and faster for every fan to access live sports content. "

In addition, Yu Baohao, chairman of HJ Holdings, said: "Fire TV is widely used by Hulu users. By supporting the live streaming function of Amazon, we hope to let more people see the Live TV we are committed to. In addition, the viewing of Hulu in the living room is also increasing. I hope to be able to provide you with the opportunity to enjoy images with your family through Fire TV in the future.
