Fox Sports Go now available on Amazon Fire TV
What's the point of having this on a set-top box if you have to be a cable subscriber? I get why it would be nice to have on the phone/tablet or laptop. But it seems to me that if you already have the cable subscription, your TV would already have the channel/content that the Prime TV would offer.

I have such boxes connected to TVs that don't have a cable box attached, thus saving some $ in monthly rentals.
Good point.

Depends on the provider. i know a few years back with Charter as long as you had their internet you had streaming access to ESPN3, TNT, TBS and a couple other selects. They might not do that now. I know AT&T requires that you have TV service and a select tier package in order to.
1- TWC is charging $13 bucks a month for a box for your TV. I assume that other cable companies and satellite providers are similarly priced. The FireTV stick pays for itself quickly in this situation.
2- I don't need to run a cable to the TV. I don't do this a lot, but I do it regularly.
3- This travels- I can bring my FireTV stick with my to a house that doesn't have cable and watch there.
It's even worse with DirecTV. It's closer to $20 or $30

Your maybe right, but if you are like me, i create a user with my sister cable and use all the benefits that she pay. I have WatchESPN, FoxNow, HBO Go, Showtime Anytime.
Can someone get this app on there fire tv then pull the app? I Want to run it on my nexus player
Would be lovely if Sky could do the same in the UK and help save me multi room subscriptions. Never going to happen though, for that reason I expect!
hope this eventually comes to Roku
This just made my fire stick well worth the $20.

This isn't cord cutting at all. A real news would be a separate package for non cable subscribers.

Don't bother installing on your Fire TV box if your cable provider is Comcast/Xfinity. Fox Sports Go does NOT support them. Typical....
I would think that would be coming pretty soon, since the sponsor one of the NASCAR series.
