Hi @Anonymous User
Nope unfortunately the Amazon Fire TV stick doesn't support the NowTV App
If you mean swapping between the Fire Stick and NowTV Stick because you only have one HDMI port on your television then yes this would be possible but would be a pain in the backside Evey time you wanted to swap devices over on the back of your TV.
Perhaps look at a HDMI hub splitter from Ebay or Amazon where you should pick one up under £10 then you could connect both the Fire Stick & NowTV Stick into HDMI splitter and saves messing around unplugged and re connecting Sticks and cables.

You can't do this as you still need to download the now TV player which the firestick doesn't support.

I have just bought an Amazon Firestick and I can watch many NOW TV programmes, even recent ones like the Undoing, using the NOW TV app that comes with the Firestick and my NOW TV Entertainment Pass. However, I cannot watch other programmes (e.g. Billions), which I usually cast to my TV using my mobile phone, a Chromecast device and NOW TV pass. I can only access this other content when using the Firestick by purchasing each episode or season. Is this the Now TV and Amazon policies clashing or a set-up problem?

Sounds like you are you using the Fire Sticks built in search, which at the moment does not include Now TV content, so you are getting results from Prime Video.
You will have to use the search function within the Now TV app. Once the app is open, long press the Select button on your Fire Stick remote, which will bring up a Sub-Menu with the Search & TV Guide options.
Hope that helps 🙂

Many thanks, Mike. A perfect diagnosis of the problem. I can now access all the content that I was hoping to watch.
