Test Your Recommendations

Activate the Developer Tools Menu using either of the following options:
- Amazon Remote Control: On the directional pad, press and hold the center and down together for 5 seconds. Then press the remote's Menu button.
- Amazon Game Controller: Press and hold A and Y buttons together for 5 seconds. Then press the controller's menu button.
Slide the Developer Options to On. Then slide the Developer Row to On:
Select the Shared Recommendation Developer Row package.
Restart your Amazon Fire TV by going go to Settings > Device > Restart.
Open your app and stream content for several minutes.

It takes some time for the Fire TV home screen to refresh and pick up the recommendations. After streaming content from the apps, wait about 5 minutes. Then navigate around a bit – go from the home screen to Settings, wait a few seconds, then go back to the home screen.

Soon you will see a new row appear on the home screen called "Recommendation Testing Row." This row will appear below Netflix or HBO Go rows, if you have the Netflix or HBO Go apps. (Otherwise, it appears directly below the "Featured Apps & Games" row.)
