I have Blue Stream TV, which is a streaming app offered by Blue Stream Fiber Internet.

Currently, the Fire TV homepage comes up and I have to scroll over to the Blue Stream TV icon and double click. We go to the TV app 9 times out of 10 when watching. I would like to default my TV to automatically load the Blue Stream app on boot up. Is anyone doing this, now?

I downloaded a Launcher on Boot app, but it's not working for me. Help on this would be appreciated.

Not sure if you can get it to where it loads on startup up but you can pin it as close as possible to where you start at

Amazon won’t allow you to bypass their Amazon ads

Some apps have the option to launch on bootup in their settings. But you could also set the app icon to be first on the Ftv homepage so you don't have to scroll

I have done this, but still have to scroll to get to the streaming app. My wife has no ability to find where the cursor on the TV is located. The problem is that we have a couple of Fire TVs and a few Android TVs. The UIs are similar, but not the same, and she can't tell the difference.

She starts hitting buttons and looking for what moves and even then, she can't find it.

Yup been through that before. If you're able to sit down for 30 min and walk her through everything that's what I'd do....I'm not capable of this cause I'm too much of an a-hole though
