Thanks, but unfortunately it's the same thing

Change your country to USA from the Amazon website, find a dummy USA address, then you will need to download the apps you want directly from the Amazon Website and finally you need to download again the apps from your FireTV.

Thank you, but I believe I've found an application that works for me: Now This News
Apparently no geographical restrictions on that one :-)

Follow JJHTPCs directions regarding changing the icon, and with a slight correction it works beautifully.
In his post, he states the directory to be

Code:

/sdcard/imagecache

, but it should be

Code:

/sdcard/.imagecache

The complete steps I followed was

1. Install Now This News
   
2. Launch Now This News
   
3. Install Llama and create event as described in the wiki (replacing Classic TV with Now This News)
   
4. download tr.apk from towelroot.com
   
5. adb start-server
   
6. adb connect IP Address
   
7. adb install tr.apk
   
8. Launch tr.apk
   
9. Download XBMC icon
   
10. Save XBMC icon as PNG in previewsize (365x365)
    
11. Save XBMC icon as PNG in thumbnail size (121x121)
    
12. adb push thumbnail_e9b96ad2ca275e790523023ff450198a69b1d380e59a44f95d46a1c0c1d8ad52.png /sdcard/.imagecache/com.amazon.venezia/com.nowthisnews.vidplay/B00FG4MO04/
    
13. adb push preview_6e546d939db6edb4aaa0a5926e0ab403b84b3d22d1917ece60278cb10a990632.png /sdcard/.imagecache/com.amazon.venezia/com.nowthisnews.vidplay/B00FG4MO04/
    
14. Reboot Fire TV
    
15. Enjoy the XBMC launching
    

Awesome work everyone!

Thank you for the correction and I think I like your steps better than mine. It is probably better for the average user as it keeps them from rooting around the file structures and potentially causing harm.
