The Amazon Fire TV Stick is the most popular device for IPTV in Germany, Austria and Switzerland: it costs less than €40, plugs into any TV and runs every IPTV app. This guide shows you how to install IPTV on a Fire TV Stick step by step, with IPTV Smarters Pro or TiviMate, so you can watch Sky Sport, Bundesliga, Champions League and more than 20,000 channels in about ten minutes.
What you need before you start
- An Amazon Fire TV Stick (any model: Lite, HD, 4K or 4K Max) connected to the internet.
- Your IPTV login details (Xtream Codes: server URL, username and password, or an M3U link). You receive them by e-mail or WhatsApp after you buy IPTV. No subscription yet? Request a free IPTV test.
- A stable connection of at least 25 Mbit/s for 4K. Wi-Fi works, but a LAN adapter is more stable for live sports.
Step 1: Allow apps from unknown sources
IPTV apps like IPTV Smarters Pro and TiviMate are not in the Amazon Appstore in Germany, so you install them with the free Downloader app.
- On the Fire TV home screen go to Settings › My Fire TV › Developer Options.
- Open Install unknown apps and switch on Downloader (install Downloader first from the Appstore if it is not there yet).
- If you cannot see Developer Options, go to Settings › My Fire TV › About and click the device name seven times.
Step 2: Install IPTV Smarters Pro with Downloader
- Open Downloader and type the download URL of the IPTV Smarters Pro APK. You find the current link in our IPTV installation tutorial.
- Click Go, wait for the download and click Install.
- Click Open, then choose Login with Xtream Codes API.
- Enter the name of your choice, the username, the password and the server URL from your IPTV login details and click Add User.
- Wait a few seconds while the channels, movies and series load. Click Live TV and choose a group such as Germany, Sky Sport or Bundesliga.
Alternative: install TiviMate on the Fire TV Stick
TiviMate is the favourite app of many IPTV users because of its TV guide (EPG) and its fast channel switching. The installation is the same: download the TiviMate APK with Downloader, open the app, click Add playlist, choose Xtream Codes and enter your login details. The free version already works; the premium version adds recording, favourites and multiple playlists.
Step 3: Set up the EPG and your favourites
Both apps load the TV guide automatically from our server. In IPTV Smarters Pro click Install EPG once; in TiviMate the EPG loads with the playlist. Add your favourite channels (for example Sky Sport Bundesliga, DAZN 1, Sky Sport Top Event, ARD, ZDF) to a favourites group so you do not have to scroll through the full IPTV channel list every time.
Troubleshooting: IPTV does not work on the Fire TV Stick
- Buffering or freezing: lower the quality to FHD instead of 4K, use a LAN adapter or restart the router. Our anti-freeze servers handle the rest.
- Login error: check the server URL for typos (it must start with http:// and include the port) and make sure the subscription is still active.
- App not installing: free up space under Settings › Applications; the Fire TV Stick Lite has only 8 GB.
- Channels missing: pull down to refresh the playlist or log out and in again. Still a problem? Our 24/7 support answers on WhatsApp within minutes.
Conclusion
Installing IPTV on a Fire TV Stick takes ten minutes: allow unknown sources, install IPTV Smarters Pro or TiviMate with Downloader and log in with your Xtream Codes. With an IPTV subscription from Bester-IPTVanbieter you then get 20,000+ live channels, 100,000 movies and series, Sky Sport, Bundesliga and Champions League in 4K from €13 per month.
