Amazon Fire TV Setup

Amazon Fire TV is a great, low-cost hardware option for digital signage. Fire TV devices are available both as externally attached devices, or integrated directly into a number of commercial TVs. Both options provide easy access to the Revel Digital player app via the Amazon App Store.

Revel Digital App Installation

• From the Home screen of your Fire TV device, search for apps using the main menu. You can also use the voice button on your Alexa Voice remote.
• Search for 'Revel Digital' to locate the Revel Digital player app.
• Download and install the app by selecting Get or the Shopping Cart icon.

Player Registration

• Create an account on www.reveldigital.com if you haven't done so already. You'll find the Login button at the top right of the RevelDigital homepage, or click here.
• Start the Revel Digital app on your Fire TV device. You'll be presented with a registration code. Click the Devices tab in your Revel Digital account and click Register New Device, or click here. Enter the registration code and any other device details.
• In a few seconds, the player will display a welcome screen at which point it will be fully functional. Here's a video of the registration process:

Why does my Fire TV Stick keep returning to the Home screen or sleeping?

Amazon released an update to FireOS that included a new preference called 'Still Watching' that aims to conserve power usage when a device is not 'in use'. When this setting is 'on', you will be prompted to confirm that you're still watching after 4 hours of not using the remote control to navigate.

How to fix it

1. Using your Fire TV's remote, navigate to device Settings (⚙).
2. Select "Preferences."
3. Select "Data Usage Monitoring" and look for the "Still Watching" option.
4. Turn this preference "OFF."
