All 4 catch-up streaming comes to Amazon's Fire TV

Channel 4's app will also be available on the Fire TV Stick soon enough.

When you've gone about revamping and rebranding your streaming service like Channel 4 did this year, the next step is to get your app on as many platforms as possible. Just before Christmas, All 4 made its way to the PlayStation 4, joining the apps already available for other games consoles, mobiles, tablets, computers and various smart TVs and set-top boxes (including Google's Chromecast). Today the service expands to yet another device, with All 4 launching on Amazon's newest Fire TV and support for the older version and Fire TV Stick also announced as "coming soon."

All 4 was something of a missing piece in the Fire TV app selection, but with BBC iPlayer, ITV Hub and Demand 5 already on board, all five major UK broadcasters are now up to date. To jog your memory, All 4 is an evolution of the 4oD service you may've used in the past, combining live TV with catch-up, shorts and other content from the broadcaster's various channels. Like the recently released PS4 app, however, the Fire TV version only offers access to the on-demand catalogue. Still, if you're feeling a bit delicate on New Year's Day, you can now sooth the pain with a couple of classic Inbetweeners episodes.
