Welcome to the show! You can use the search function (magnifying glass) at the top of forums to search your heart out. I did find this doing a search. We have quite a few Amazon whiz people here that most likely will chime in. @Miki knows all about Fire everything! Enjoy your stay and good luck!

I’m having the same issue. I installed Launch on Boot (LOB) to three different TVs with Firesticks yesterday to launch YouTubeTV on boot. Immediately after installation everything worked fine and I was happy with the system. Today, nothing works, it boots again to the Firestick home page like LOB was never installed. Do you think Amazon has blocked LOB? Any other ideas?

Check your Firestick OS version. Troy noticed that LOB no longer works with the latest OS update (7.6…)

Unfortunately with e-fuses, protected modules, etc., Amazon is locking down certain features, on FireTV, that directly affect their income, or so they think. So while there are a couple of ways to change your launcher, most no longer work like they use to, or now require a couple of steps and apps to do what you want. @PapaS has it right. Another device might suit you better for now and into the future. Chromecast with GoogleTV is just one example, if you are looking to stay with an inexpensive streamer until, or when, you decide to step your game up and do more.
