SlingTV adds New Linear Grid Guide Option

Amazon Fire is an Android device and it doesn't work on that

That's true, but Amazon Fire tv is NOT an open Android device...

In terms of app coding and development, what's the difference?

I have Sling's AirTV, and they have not updated the guide options on it as of today.

I don't know for sure, but maybe Amazon is doing something to "lock out" the new guide. I guess we will find out, if/when it gets rolled out further.

I am not myself. I just reported what the press release stated. When I contacted them, they told me all devices will be getting this option eventually.

The new grid guide is now available on my Roku TV and Roku 2, but still missing from their AirTV.

My FireTV has the grid view now. I didn't care for it as much as I would have thought. I kind of like the original style a bit better. That's mostly because the Pac12 networks let you access past content which isn't supported in the grid view.
