How to watch YouTube TV on your Amazon Fire TV device

First, you'll need to subscribe to YouTube TV, which costs $50 per month. 

You will then need to download and use the YouTube TV app to enjoy all of your favorite programs on the service.

Another option besides a Fire TV device, is to get a new TV that has Fire TV (and YouTube services) built in.
