Top Amazon Recast fixes - changed Internet, changed wifi or reset Recast

If you have already done the quick fix of rebooting all devices, and are still having issues with your live Free TV channel on the Amazon Recast then the fix is likely more complicated. Please note less than 1% of the time is this an antenna issue, usually a recent change will create this issue. Remember your Fire TV sticks and Amazon Fire TV Recast must be on the same Internet/wifi network and logged into the same Amazon account to work properly. Some people have issues after changing wifi, routers, modems or getting a new Internet provider, etc. 

You are welcome to contact the manufacturer Amazon for Support, but due to high costs they have no US Support, and are pretty clueless on the Recast. Also, be aware that Amazon has not made the Recast for years, so its possible over time Amazon Support will get worse - Tablo Network DVR is the best replacement.
