Assuming you are located in the US, so FCC is applicable: As per the FCC S59-4891 applicable to the Amazon Fire TV (CL1130):
The range 5180.0...5240.0 MHz (Ch. 36..48) and 5745.0...5825.0 MHz (CH. 149...161) do indeed cover ZERO DFS channels - I fear you dig at the wrong construction zone.

As per the above, lack of a FCC permissive change for the Amazon Fire TV box, ... no change.
