[Question] Can I use the Amazon Fire Stick through the Xbox One's unique "HDMI In" feature?

So as it turns out, the NBC Sports app is trash on the Xbox One, as it doesn't carry Premier League coverage. Additionally, my family uses Playstation Vue for our "alt cable" program, which obviously wouldn't be carried on Xbox. I literally haven't used the HDMI In feature in the 3 years since I've had this console, and I'm wondering if it actually could fulfill a function like this. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

you have to tell it its hd Freeview and if you have the usb tuner you may have issues if they are both plugged in but apart from that you should be ok

the hdmi in function literally just works like an extra hdmi port on your tv, except it running through the xbox and you activate it via the tv app, which is now searching for the signal. After that make sure your fire stick or whatever is turned on.

Right now currently using it for my nes classic mini. Switch to tv app and turn it on and play
