NEWS: The latest developments for the Amazon Fire TV ecosystem include:

New Fire TV Stick HD: The latest entry-level stick is running on Amazon's Linux-based (NEW) Vega OS

End of Sideloading: All new Fire TV devices—beginning with the Fire TV Stick 4K Select and the new HD model—operate on the closed Vega OS rather than Android Fire TV OS. This means popular unofficial Android apps can no longer be installed, which Amazon notes is a security and anti-piracy measure.
