A few Tips!
Hi there, welcome to the first page tutorial on how to setup your Firestick. This looks all very over whelming at first, but if you follow step by step instructions, everything should go smoothly on setting up everything on your own.
Here’s a heads up on what you will need to do to have everything working for your iptv service.
- 1- You’ll need a Firestick. (duh) I recommend the Firestick 4K Max has it has more memory, space and power. Others will work but you might have to make sure you don’t install too much apps on it.
- 2- You’ll need to plug in your firestick to the tv HDMI port and enter your amazon credential. No worries, if you don’t have an amazon account you can create one with your firestick, it’s free. You need this to have your firestick working like if you have an android smart phone, you need an gmail account to access the app store, works pretty much the same. The Firestick is pretty user friendly and easy to setup.
- 3- You’ll need to pay for the “TIVIMATE” app through the google play store so you need a device that can use that. (Your cell phone) The developer has no other payment platform setup.
- 4- Finally, you need to pay for your monthly service true poutine.tv. I know, its a weird name, but so far they have the best service. The package you are looking for is EDGE.
Money wise, firestick + $39.00 for the TIVIMATE app to watch tv + $20 per month or $55 per 3 months for your EDGE package subscription. I wouldn’t recommend paying for more than 3 months at a time incase if they decide to close up shop, you will loose that money. I’ve been with them for 4 years now and everything seems to be working ok. Just keep renewing your EDGE subscription before the expiration date. If you don’t, your service will just be cut off. No wories.
Hope this answers a few of your questions.. if you are still interested, let’s continue shall we ?! 🙂
If you wish to install other apps after.. (You can skip this step for now)
Recommended Apps that you can have installed, any other apps not listed here might slow down or cause buffering issues. (Some apps are built in with the Firestick and cannot be uninstalled.
“Amazon Music” (If you don’t needed it, uninstall)
“Downloader” (Good app to have. Needed to install other apps not listed in the Play store)
“Netflix” (If you don’t needed it, uninstall)
“Silk Browser” (To browse internet, but it does not support any Downloads. Can’t download anything with it)
“Tivimate” (For IPTV viewing, 1st choice / OR / 2nd choice OTT Navigator)
“Tubi” (Nice app to have)
“VLC” (Always good to have)
“Youtube” (Just note that there is a bug with Youtube App on the Firestick, it often buffers)
