If you’re reading this story, you’re looking for help on how to watch Local 4+ using a Fire TV device (don’t worry, we got you covered).
First of all, the full version of Local 4+ is only available for your TV. There is a version you can watch on a desktop, tablet, or smartphone browser (go to https://www.clickondetroit.com/live/) but that webpage only shows you our live on-air newscasts, special event streams, or a Local 4+ selection of local live cams.
That’s a good start, but to get the full experience of Local 4+, you want it on your TV!
So how do you get it?
You need two things: an TV with the right streaming platform (it can be an Internet connected Smart TV or an older non-Internet connected TV) and the Local 4+ streaming app.
Amazon’s Fire TV is the second most popular streaming device that carries the Local 4+ so let’s get you connected with us.
You can watch the step-by-step video above, or follow these instructions:
- Open the Fire TV player and on your home page, navigate to “Add Channels”. This is the icon with three square boxes and a “+” sign in the lower right corner.
- Before clicking on that icon, look for the “Get More Apps” box at the bottom of the screen (in a gray box). Navigate to it and click on it.
- Once there, scroll down to the left to the “Search” box.
- Press “Select” and then using the keypad, search for “Local 4+” or “WDIV”. Click to select.
- Now, click on the Local 4+ box to install the app.
- When the installation is finished, click on “Open” or “Go to Channel”.
Now that you’re on Local 4+ you can watch our live and previous newscasts, get the local forecast from the 4Warn Weather Team at the click of a button, and look for specific segments or shows by category including Live In The D and so much more!
That’s it! Thanks for downloading!
