Amazon fire TV sticks

[rctempire]

No officer I'm on about the naughty naughty apps

Its simple, also never call it sky glass, its a rebranded app to make you feel warm and fuzzy.
Anyway, depends what they sent you to make work.
But steps are

Install Downloader via the Amazon App store.
Install VLC Media Player via Amazon App Store (and open it and accept the ts&cs.)
Go to Home Screen, Click Settings cog in far right.
Select My Fire TV
Click About
On the device name at the top "Fire TV Stick" Click the middle button 8 times till it says your a developer
Click Developer Options
Install Unknown Apps, select Downloader and turn on.
Press Back and HOME button

Open Downloader
Download application via URL or short code.
Install.
Open, and log in. Profit.

Sorry I should have been more specific with my illicit activities

Wait, so I can put an app onto the Amazon app on my sky glass TV instead of having a fire stick plugged in and another (lost) remote?

Isn’t the “Sky Glass” app on firesticks just IPTV Smarters with a skin on top?

No Daz

Nobody would ever do that

Winks ferociously

 

[Oggy997]

Yes it's smarters

Can be many apps, Smarters , XCIPTV, NexTV, IBO etc etc. Possibilities are endless.
But it is just a reskin which many are rebranded options.

Just for info.

 

[R3k1355]

Are paid streams still the one to go for or did they all get busted?

 

[Oggy997]

There are loads around.

 

[Simon_16v]

Can anyone recommend some cheap alternative to the Sky/Smarters app? My sub ran out but half way through started charging for series on top of the yearly sub.

I used a paid stream, it's layout is pretty much Sky TV. For £35 a year, I'm not complaining.

Can recommend some if you like no issues.

Absolutely, quality far surpasses free ones.

I've got a paid one and the UI is shocking.
Shame but it'll do until renewal when I'll look for something better. As long as I can watch films and football on it it's ok, it's when I bin sky off and the kids want to look at it it becomes the issue when I'm not there.

Seen loads of them in work, most of the engineers have one with them, and not one are the same build, even when they get them off the same lad 🤣

The best I've seen had the virgin UI on it. Haven't seen a Sky one yet.

It depends what app they give them really.Most of them are smarters or xciptv. If you did want to change your app can sort this for you if you really cannot stand it. (only the app), not the service.

 

[stu12345]

can anyone recommend a uk based iptv service. thanks

 

[Rob]

Proper LOL

 

[ChrisR]

Tried this? 😂

 

[Steve]

Are these full 4k or UHD & any lag or drop out?

Got a brand new 4k FS but never took out the box

The 4k sticks are 4K / 60fps natively.

In what manner do you mean lag or drop out?

So, after ditching Sky for EETV (still have reservations) - and the fact that I’m paying for every subscription service going, I want to look at IPTV. I used to have a Fire Stick with Kodi installed, but that was years ago and I’m a technophobe really.

Where can / should I go to get one?

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

I googled it and went for one with decent reviews.
They must be made up because the UI is w**k. It's broken a few times and there's no VPN like promised. It's £60 per year and I was setup in seconds after paying tbf.

Doesnt mean you cant change application, most use smarters or xciptv (then are rebranded) if you can find the apks ill be able to assist in moving you application if needed to a nicer UI.

I might need an A-Z walkthrough tbh!
