Streaming sticks are one of the easiest and cheapest ways to watch IPTV on a big screen. Plug the stick into your TV's HDMI port, connect it to Wi-Fi and you're ready to install an IPTV player. Here's exactly how to do it.
Step 1: Install the Downloader app
From the home screen, open Search, type “Downloader” and install the app. Downloader lets you install apps from a web address, which is how most IPTV players are added to streaming sticks.
Step 2: Allow apps from unknown sources
- Open Settings and go to My Fire TV (or Device & Software).
- Select Developer Options. If you don't see it, open About and click your device name seven times.
- Choose “Install unknown apps” and switch it ON for Downloader.
Step 3: Install your IPTV player
Open Downloader and type the download address of the IPTV player you want to use. Press Go, wait for the download and select Install. Not sure which player to choose? Our support team will send you a recommended download link with your login details.
Step 4: Log in with Xtream Codes
Open the player and choose “Login with Xtream Codes API”. Enter any name you like, then the username, password and server URL from your welcome email. The app will load channels, the TV guide and the movie library – this can take a minute the first time.
Make your streaming stick run faster
- Restart the stick once a week (hold Select + Play for a few seconds).
- Uninstall apps you don't use to free up storage.
- Use the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band or an Ethernet adapter for a more stable signal.
- Turn off data monitoring and app usage collection in the privacy settings.
