 +**The official HDHomeRun app will NOT work on the "SELECT" version of the Fire TV stick.**
 +
 +The "Select" version is a cheaper, crappier version of the Fire TV devices, and should be avoided for many reasons, including that it doesn't work with the HDHomeRun app. At this time other versions of Fire TV are not currently affected and should be okay to use.
