Step 1: Turning On Developer Options

  1. From the Firestick Home screen go to Settings (gear icon).
  2. Navigate to My Fire TV.
  3. Select About.
  4. Highlight Fire TV Stick and press the select button 7 times until you see Developer Mode enabled.
  5. Go back one level & choose Developer Options.
  6. Turn ON Apps from Unknown Sources and (if shown) ADB Debugging (not mandatory but helpful for advanced management).

This unlocks the ability to sideload IPTV apps not listed directly in the Amazon Appstore.

Step 2: Downloading the Downloader App

  1. Return to the Home screen and select the Search (magnifying glass).
  2. Type Downloader and choose the orange Downloader icon.
  3. Click Download / Get to install.
  4. Open Downloader. On first launch allow requested storage/network permissions.
  5. If a quick start guide appears, dismiss or proceed to the URL entry field.

Downloader lets you enter a direct URL to fetch APK files safely from trusted sources.

Step 3: Installing Your IPTV App (TiviMate or IPTV Smarters Pro)

You can use multiple IPTV apps; below are two of the most popular:

Option A: IPTV Smarters Pro

  1. In Downloader enter a trusted URL for IPTV Smarters Pro (official distribution or verified mirror).
  2. Download completes; click Install.
  3. Open the app & choose Login with Xtream Codes API or Load M3U Playlist.
  4. Enter credentials from your IPTV provider (username, password, portal/URL) or paste M3U link.
  5. Save and let the app fetch categories (Live TV, Movies, Series, Catch-Up).

Option B: TiviMate (Recommended for Power Users)

  1. Launch TiviMate and select Add Playlist.
  2. Choose M3U and enter your playlist URL from Storuno IPTV.
  3. Add EPG (XMLTV URL) if provided for full guide data.
  4. Customize groups, favorites, and enable catch-up if supported.

  • Clear App Cache Occasionally: Settings → Applications → Manage Installed → Clear cache.
  • Enable Hardware Acceleration (if available): Improves decoding efficiency.
