How to setup your device to watch our service.

FireStick is not configured to allow users to install third-party apps for various reasons.  There are a few changes you will need to make prior to using installer apps like “Downloader” to install our media player apps.  To install 3rd party apps via Downloader, you’ll need to allow FireStick to install apps from unknown third-party, sources.  After you have installed downloader, then skip down to “What media player app is best to stream TV and Movies”

Follow these easy steps to turn on ADB debugging and apps from unkown sources first:

1. Launch your FireStick home screen and navigate to the settings icon ()

2. Scroll down to the My Fire TV banner and click on it.

3. Click on About.  Now click the enter button on the first menu item ( 7 times) until you see a message pop up saying ” No need, your now a developer”.

4.  Now click the back arrow button 1 time and scroll down to Developer Options and click on it.

5.  Select ADB debugging and click to turn it ON and select Install/Allow apps from unknow sources and click to turn it ON.

Once these settings have been enabled, you can then install apps on your FireStick manually. Your FireStick is now prepared to install 3rd party apps using Downloader.

The short video below shows you step by step how to setup your FireTV device to allow unknown sources and turn on ADB debugging.
