yes i have. I have to use my logitech revue keyboard to fully use it though. the amazon remote doesn't play nice with it.
I'm guessing your fire is connected via wifi? I just tried and I get an error "No Wi-Fi Connection You must be on Wi-Fi to stream video content". I'm connected via the ethernet port.

Yes i am connected via wifi. Strange that it won't work on wired. I will try a wired connection when i get home.
I think it is a left over restriction from older cell streaming quality and data limits. The apps are told to look for WiFi only and I don't think the devs bother to even consider a wired option because they mainly concentrate on phones. I was able to turn on USB Ethernet on the Visual Land 7D and a tone of games and apps couldn't see it and would ask for Wifi including Play.
I was able to sideload Acestreams and it installs as a separate app, but I was not able to make it work with XBMC. Let us know if you get it to work.
I installed the acestreams apps and I was able to see a stream on XBMC(ouya version) with it, i need to recheck to see what apk I installed.
Thanks! Also, could you please indicate, how you played the link from XBMC? I tried to open an Acestream link from SportsDevil but it did not work for me.
I got Acestreams to work inside of xbmc on ouya with p2p addon but it kept crashing the Acestream on the play store wants to update so that one never connected however I installed the latest version of the APK and it worked for a day then all of a sudden the Acestream Engine app was crashing immediately on open and was bugging out my XBMC so I had to uninstall. If anyone finds a good version that will not try to update and is let me know Thanks

Maybe you can try to connect to a Wi-Fi network that doesn't necessarily have internet like a router plugged into wall only, then have both Ethernet and Wi-Fi both connected to Amazon fire.

Why not use the XPOSED module and give it a try: http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.lemonsqueeze.fakewificonnection
Fake Wifi
Never mind.

Ah, so something does exist! I'm completely new to Android so my knowledge of Android tweaks is limited.
I will give a try.
I side loaded the Xfinity app before root and it works "ok". Using a mele pro air mouse, I can get around the app pretty well. The only thing I notice, which I think I read someone on here before, is that there is some frame rate issues. The video doesnt seem to be 100% smooth, especially on live tv.
Anyone else notice this?

Well I can confirm the xposed fake wifi module works with the xfinity app to trick it to work over the lan. However with that module activated there is some weird stuff going on with the firetv gui, it bounces around the menu a bit. If I select say prime video it'll jump down to music, it's pretty weird.

Why not use the XPOSED module and give it a try: http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.lemonsqueeze.fakewificonnection2There has been no updates here in a while. So here's an nice update. xfinity on demand version 2.4.0.001 now works just fine on LAN and WIFI. Using the first apk grabber that comes up on google grabs an older version of the apk, try an alternate version and it will grab the latest.
