Step 3: Install the Downloader App

Open the Amazon App Store on your Firestick, search for “Downloader” (orange icon by AFTVnews), and install it. This app lets you sideload IPTV players.

We recommend these players (in order of preference):

TiviMate — Best overall. Beautiful EPG, favorites, catch-up TV, multi-view. Install from Amazon App Store (free version) or sideload Premium.

OTT Navigator — Lightweight and fast. Supports M3U and Xtream Codes. Sideload via Downloader.

Step 5: Enter Your Credentials

Open your chosen player and select “Xtream Codes” login (recommended) or “M3U URL”. Enter the server URL, username, and password from your welcome email. Channels load within seconds. The EPG populates automatically.

Step 6: Start Watching!

Browse 15,000+ channels organized by category and country. Use the EPG to see what’s on now and next. Add favorites for quick access. Enjoy up to 4K quality on supported channels.
