Original story (published on January 20, 2022) follows:
It looks like Apple TV is affected as well. Device owners say they tried reinstalling the app and clearing data and cache but nothing seems to resolve the issue.
But this is not the only problem affecting Fire TV users. Recent reports (1,2,3,4,5) from Fire TV users suggest that many are facing an issue where their devices are stuck on the Fire TV logo with a black screen.

As always, we will be keeping an eye out on the issues and update this space as and when required so make sure you stay tuned.
