How to Watch IPTV on Amazon Fire TV Stick

The Amazon Fire TV Stick is arguably the most popular and cost-effective device for streaming IPTV in the UK. Because it uses an Android-based operating system, you can easily side-load third-party IPTV players like Smarters Pro or TiviMate, which aren't always available on standard smart TVs.

Requirements

  • Amazon Fire TV Stick (Lite, Standard, 4K, or 4K Max)
  • An active IPTV UK Subscription
  • Stable Wi-Fi connection (minimum 15 Mbps for HD, 30 Mbps for 4K)
  • An Amazon account to download the 'Downloader' app

Step-by-Step Instructions

1

Enable Developer Options

Go to Settings > My Fire TV > About. Click on your Fire TV Stick name 7 times until you see a message saying you are a developer. Press the back button and open 'Developer Options'. Turn on 'Apps from Unknown Sources'.

2

Install the Downloader App

Go back to the home screen. Click on 'Find' then 'Search'. Type 'Downloader' and install the official app with the orange icon.

3

Side-load Your IPTV Player

Open Downloader. Enter the shortcode provided in your IPTV UK welcome email to directly download our recommended app (like Smarters Pro). Click Install when prompted.

4

Login with Your Credentials

Open the newly installed IPTV app. Choose 'Login with Xtream Codes API'. Enter the Username, Password, and Server URL provided in your subscription email.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a VPN to use IPTV on a Firestick?

While not strictly required for the service to function, we highly recommend using a VPN to prevent ISP throttling during major live sporting events like the Premier League.

Which Firestick is best for IPTV?

We recommend the Fire TV Stick 4K Max. It has a faster processor and more RAM, which drastically improves the speed of loading the EPG (TV Guide) and navigating through thousands of VOD titles.
