Amazon Fire TV Sticks

Amazon Fire StickDH One is also available on Amazon Fire TV Sticks.

To access the service, simply search for “UKRP“, and download/install the app.

UKRP have developed the Amazon Fire TV Stick service to match the user experience found on Freeview TVs, including the option to select/change ITV regions.

To access DH One on Amazon Fire TV Sticks, please ensure that you have the following:

  • An Amazon Fire TV Stick
  • A broadband Internet connection with WiFi, of minimum 2Mbps

In January 2020, Digital TV Europe reported that Amazon had more than 40 million monthly active users of Fire TV devices. Considering this was at a time just before these devices had proliferated at a more global level, Amazon were also quoted as saying that they hoped to see that figure increase significantly over the coming months and years as they look to expand Fire TV outside the UK and Germany.

Whilst UKRP does not have an official figure for the number of Amazon Fire Stick devices presently in use in the UK market, their research suggested that there could be 10’s of millions of active UK users. Their research also suggested that a very high proportion of non-Freeview homes were active users of Amazon Fire TV Sticks, thus their early development and launch of UK Radio Portal to these Amazon devices.

Can UKRP be accessed from abroad or on foreign Amazon Fire TV Sticks?

Sadly, no. Because some radio stations hold copyright licences for online streaming to the UK only, we are obliged to limit access to UK Radio Portal on Amazon Fire TV Sticks in the UK only.
