As fellow customers we have no insight into what apps may become available on any Sky platforms in the future.

Wanting to control a television running the Amazon Fire OS from a Sky box would seem somewhat pointless, given the limitations of a Sky remote handset?

 

The Fire TV app turns the touch interface / microphone of an OSX or iOS phone or tablet  into a 'smart' remote for an Amazon-brand television or Firestick / Firecube: it's not an app into which content is delivered, and it wouldn't permit control of the Sky hardware.

I think 'Fire' is a typo/autocorrect, based on the original subject OP is looking for the Fite TV app which shows various combat sports events

 

I myself have been looking for it as it's available on just about every other platform

Unfortunately sky have a closed app store which is due to the way they integrate with each available app for the voice search and playlist feature. This means that its quite a slow process for them to get new apps available.

 

It also usually requires them to work closely with the app developers, so if there is no interest from FITE TV to be available on the Sky Streaming platform they won't be on it.

 

I would love FITE to be available.
