IPTV for Firestick and Fire TV: Setup in 5 Minutes
A Fire TV Stick plugs into any HDMI port. Add a player app and your IPTV SMART USA login, and live TV loads in HD and 4K.
Why the Fire Stick works so well for IPTV
The Fire TV Stick is inexpensive, already on millions of US TVs, and runs the two most popular IPTV player apps, TiviMate and IPTV Smarters. That makes it the simplest way to get IPTV SMART USA on a TV that isn't smart, or on one whose built-in apps are slow.
Setup is quick: install a player app, type in the login we email you, and your channel list loads. There's no extra box and nothing to modify on the stick.
For 4K, use a Fire TV Stick 4K or 4K Max; the Lite and standard models top out at 1080p. Either way, a wired connection or 5 GHz Wi-Fi gives the steadiest picture.
On your Fire Stick in four steps
No technical skills needed.
Allow apps from unknown sources
Open Settings, go to My Fire TV, then Developer Options, and switch on 'Apps from Unknown Sources' (or 'Install unknown apps' for Downloader).
Install Downloader
Search for the free Downloader app in the Amazon Appstore and install it. You'll use it once to get your player app.
Install TiviMate or IPTV Smarters
Enter the player's official download link in Downloader and install it.
Log in and watch
Open the player, enter the Xtream login from your welcome email, and your channels and on-demand library load.
TiviMate or IPTV Smarters?
Both work with IPTV SMART USA, so it comes down to taste. TiviMate has a polished TV guide and remembers where you left off. IPTV Smarters is simpler if you're new to IPTV. Your login works in both, so try each and keep the one you like.
Your welcome email includes an Xtream login and an M3U link; both apps accept either. Add the EPG link too and the TV guide fills in with schedules.
Common Fire Stick questions
All current models: Fire TV Stick Lite, Fire TV Stick, 4K, 4K Max and Fire TV Cube. For 4K streams you need the 4K, 4K Max or Cube.
TiviMate for its TV guide and catch-up features, or IPTV Smarters for simplicity. Both work with your IPTV SMART USA login.
No. You install a player app with the Downloader tool. Nothing on the stick is modified.
Usually Wi-Fi. Use the 5 GHz band or an Ethernet adapter, aim for 25 Mbps for 4K, and restart the app. Test it during the free trial before you buy.
