FireTV Uverse App

Asking for any others having issues with Uverse app on FireTV. I have one fireTv that has updated app that works as intended (minus not being able to exit out of). However have 2 other FIreTVs slightly older generations but still 4ks that the app either does not update and crashes when trying to watch live channel (on older version) OR try to uninstall/reinstal and shows as unavailable.

If am able to install its still older version, but able to login, etc. 

This appears others with similar issue:

- https://twitter.com/maxfxn/status/1776075545257664528 

I have chatted with ATT a few times and when actually get past telling its not internet or home service issue and an app/firetv issue they have noted they have received others, but days go by and still no update/changes. 

Any others with same or similar issue and have had a fix or update?

Thanks

I'd refer you to the below thread where an AT&T rep provided a list of all the Amazon devices that are expected to allow installation of the newest version, and a surprising number of first/second generation FireTV devices did not make that list.

Thank you for sharing link and other details. I did try to learn from chatting with Amazon and got to the point of deregistering/registering the device.  Most likely won't remedy compatibility, but in the process was re-emphasizing this issue with versions that should work with.

I have the same issue with my Fire Tablet and Fire TV.  I have updated, cleared the cache and reset my password and nothing works.

We have called you and the gentleman said that he would have the upper tech department call us back last week.  We have yet to hear from anyone.
