The Peacock app runs on the full line of Fire TV devices, including budget hardware like the Fire TV Stick Lite and Amazon-powered smart TVs. NBCU didn’t describe Fire tablet compatibility, but you can use Alexa to control the service.
The appeal remains the same for Peacock on Fire TV as elsewhere. You have access to catalog material like The office and Harry Potter as well as current shows, including originals like Girl5eva and Where’s Waldo. It is effectively a challenger to services like HBO Max and Hulu, only with lower cost options that could save you significant expenses if you are willing to put up with advertising.
