In this guide, I’ll show you how to set up and use Apollo Group TV IPTV on Amazon Fire TV devices, including FireStick Lite, FireStick 4K, Fire TV Cube, and Fire TV devices from different manufacturers. I will also discuss the pricing, the legal status of the service, and whether it’s worth investing in or not.
NOTE: Apollo Group TV IPTV now only accepts Cryptocurrency as a payment method.
It’s 2022 and you don’t need to pay hundreds of dollars across various OTT apps to enjoy a seamless cord-cutting experience on Amazon FireStick. The arrival of IPTV services has created a storm in the streaming space. Using a solid IPTV service such as Apollo Group TV, you can easily watch thousands of TV shows, movies, and live TV channels on FireStick.
The web is filled with many IPTV services. Among them, choosing the perfect option for your needs and preferences can be a headscratcher. Apollo IPTV comfortably earns our recommendation for various reasons.
For starters, the IPTV provider offers more than 1,000 live TV channels from various countries around the world. They are neatly divided into various categories as well. You won’t have a hard time finding relevant TV channels from the list.
Cross-platform availability isn’t an issue either. You can use Apollo IPTV on FireStick, Android, iOS, Windows, Mac, Android TV, NVIDIA Shield, and more.
Before I go ahead and review Apollo IPTV for FireStick, let’s understand more about Apollo Group TV.
Attention, FireStick Users!
Governments and ISPs constantly monitor your online activity, and accessing copyrighted content on your Fire TV Stick could lead to serious trouble. Currently, your IP is visible to everyone. I strongly recommend getting the best FireStick VPN to mask your IP address and securely stream your favorites.
I personally use ExpressVPN, the fastest and most secure VPN available. Not only is it easy to install on any device, it comes with a risk-free 30-day money-back guarantee. Plus, if you're not 100% satisfied, you can always get a refund. ExpressVPN is currently also offering a whopping 3 extra months free on their annual plan!

What Is Apollo Group TV?
Apollo Group TV is an IPTV provider that offers a huge number of TV channels, movies, and TV shows for a small monthly price. You can use Apollo’s native app to view the content, or you can rely on dedicated IPTV players to get things done.
You can go to the Apollo Group TV website and sign up for the service from the pricing page. After a short time, you will get all the relevant details, such as a username, password, M3U link (I will explain that later), and EPG link.
As I mentioned, the good news is that Apollo IPTV isn’t limited to the native app. You can integrate the service with IPTV players like Flix IPTV, IPTV Smarters, or TiviMate IPTV.
In conclusion, you won’t have a hard time playing Apollo IPTV on any device out there.
Is Apollo IPTV Legal?
That’s a tricky question to answer. Allow me to explain in detail. First of all, Apollo Group TV isn’t available in the Amazon App Store or Google Play Store. This should be an alarming reason for you to look for other options.
Apollo IPTV carries more than 1,000 live TV channels from several countries around the world. FireStickTricks.com can’t verify every piece of content in each region out there. Some of the content that you try to consume on Apollo IPTV could be officially licensed in your region by a media group. When you try to watch the licensed content through Apollo IPTV, it might put you in legal trouble.
Being a responsible media publisher, FireStickTricks.com doesn’t encourage breaking copyright laws. But what if you accidentally consume unlicensed content on FireStick via Apollo IPTV? How do you keep yourself safe then? Use a VPN app on FireStick while you’re on third-party apps or services.
Apollo IPTV Plans and Pricing
Apollo IPTV offers various IPTV packages to start your journey. The company used to offer a 10-day free trial to test out the service. They have since closed the free trial. You need to pay for the monthly plan to get started.
The good news is, that even the basic plan offers five device connections, meaning you can use Apollo IPTV on five devices simultaneously. Unlike Apollo IPTV, other IPTV providers charge extra for more connections.
Let’s discuss all the Apollo IPTV plans.
$24.99 – For one month. Five device connections, all categories, and up to 5000 commercial-free movies and TV shows.
$51.99 – For three months. Five device connections, all categories, and up to 5000 commercial-free movies and TV shows.
$89.99 – For six months. Five device connections, all categories, and up to 5000 commercial-free movies and TV shows.
$159.99 – For one year. Five device connections, all categories, and up to 5000 commercial-free movies and TV shows.
In terms of payments, Apollo IPTV supports all the major payment methods such as Visa, Mastercard, and PayPal.
I recommend going with a monthly plan to test out the IPTV provider. After that, you can move to a three-month or six-month plan. I don’t recommend going with a yearly plan, as Apollo IPTV has a history of shutting down unexpectedly.
The website isn’t that reliable either. The payment system went down thrice in the last couple of months.

How to Install Apollo Group TV on FireStick
As I mentioned above, Apollo Group TV isn’t officially available in the Amazon App Store. You need to use an app called Downloader on FireStick to get things done. Don’t worry though. It won’t take much of your time.
Legal Disclaimer: This tutorial is purely educational. FireStickTricks.com doesn’t own, host, operate, resell, or distribute any streaming apps, addons, websites, IPTV or services. The page contains some unverified services, and we are not certain whether they hold legal licenses to distribute the content. FireStickTricks.com does not verify the legality of each app/service in all regions. Do your due diligence if you use any of the unverified apps/services, and stream only content that is available in the public domain. The end-user shall be solely responsible for the media accessed.
Getting Downloader App for Amazon FireStick
Go through these step-by-step guidelines to download the Downloader app on FireStick. After that, we will tweak a couple of FireStick settings.
1. Turn on FireStick home and go to the Find menu.
2. Select Search.
3. Search will take you to a virtual keyboard on FireStick. Type Downloader, and choose it from the suggestions below the keyboard.
4. Select the Downloader app with the orange background in the APPS AND GAMES category.
5. On the following page, you will find the Download or Get button. Select it to install the Downloader app on FireStick.
We will use the Downloader app to install third-party apps on FireStick. Before that, we need to tweak some options in the FireStick Settings menu.
Modify FireStick Settings for Third-Party Installations
For security reasons, FireStick blocks APK installations from the web. However, you can remove the limitation from the FireStick settings menu. Here’s how.
1. Open the FireStick home, scroll to the Settings icon, and select it.
2. Select My Fire TV from the settings menu.
3. Open Developer Options.
4. Find Apps from Unknown Sources. By default, it’s disabled. Turn it ON.
That’s it. You have successfully added the Downloader app on FireStick. After making the necessary changes to the FireStick settings, we are ready to install Apollo TV on the device.
Download and Install Apollo IPTV APK on FireStick
1. From the FireStick home, move to the all apps screen.
2. Select the Downloader app to launch it.
3. Move to the URL box and select it. It will open a virtual keyboard to type a URL.
Note: After you subscribe to Apollo Group TV, you get an email containing all the relevant information for your account. With that, you also get guidelines to install the app on FireStick. In case you haven’t received such info, you can email the Apollo IPTV support and ask for it.
4. In Downloader, type the URL to download the Apollo APK, which you received at your email.
5. The app will start downloading the Apollo Group TV APK from the web. INSTALL the APK on FireStick when prompted.
6. After successful installation, don’t forget to Delete the APK file from your FireStick.
The FireStick comes with limited storage. Once you’ve installed an app with its APK file, the APK file just wastes storage space. If you continue to keep irrelevant APK files on FireStick, it will soon consume all the space on the device. That will result in below-average performance on FireStick.
Apollo IPTV channels are perfectly accessible using the native app. But I would recommend going with an IPTV player on FireStick. Why? A dedicated IPTV player has more features than an IPTV provider’s app. Besides, if you plan to change your IPTV provider in the future, you can easily use the same familiar IPTV player to integrate another IPTV service.
There are many IPTV players out there. From the long list, IPTV Smarters remains our preferred choice.
Highly recommended if streaming with free or low-cost services 👇
How to Stream on FireStick Anonymously
As soon as you install the right apps, your FireStick is all ready to stream your favorite content. However, before you start, I would like to warn you that everything you stream online is visible to your ISP and Government. This means, streaming free movies, TV shows, Sports might get you into legal trouble.
Thankfully, there is a foolproof way to keep all your streaming activities hidden from your ISP and the Government. All you need is a good VPN for Fire Stick. A VPN will mask your original IP which is and will help you bypass Online Surveillance, ISP throttling, and content geo-restrictions.
I personally use and recommend ExpressVPN, which is the fastest and most secure VPN. It is compatible with all kinds of streaming apps and is very easy to install on Fire TV / Stick.
We do not encourage the violation of copyright laws. But, what if you end up streaming content from an illegitimate source unintentionally? It is not always easy to tell the difference between a legit and illegal source.
So, before you start streaming on your Fire Stick / Fire TV, let’s see how to use ExpressVPN to keep your streaming activities hidden from prying eyes.
Step 1: Subscribe to ExpressVPN HERE. It comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Meaning, you can use it free for the first 30-days and if you are not satisfied with the performance (which is highly unlikely), you can ask for a full refund.

Step 3: Now type “Expressvpn” (without quotes) in the search bar and select ExpressVPN when it shows up in the search results.

How to Use Apollo IPTV with IPTV Smarters
In the example below, I will showcase how to use Apollo Group TV in the IPTV Smarters player on FireStick. You don’t have to pay anything to get started with IPTV Smarters. It has a simple and easy-to-understand interface. Its list of functions includes multiple account support, a sleep timer, subtitles, support for external players like VLC and MX, EPG support, and more.
Read our dedicated guide to install the IPTV Smarters app on the Amazon FireStick. Go through the instructions below to add Apollo Group TV to the IPTV Smarters player on your FireStick.
1. From the FireStick home, go to all apps.
2. Select the IPTV Smarters app from the list.
3. The app will offer multiple options to integrate IPTV service into the IPTV player. Select Load Your Playlist or File/URL.
4. Give the playlist any name, like Apollo. Select M3U URL, then type in the M3U URL that you received at your email when you subscribed to Apollo IPTV.
Note: Your M3U URL will look something like this: http://013tv.com:8080/get.php?username=test-65787c&password=e654&type=m3u_plus&output=ts
Typing such a long URL on FireStick via the FireStick remote is a cumbersome experience. You can use the FireStick remote app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store and use your phone keyboard to type the URL on FireStick. An even better way is to shorten the M3U link using a service like Bitly. You can enter your shortened Bitly URL instead of the long original M3U link.
5. Click on Add User.
6. The app identifies and loads Apollo TV content from the M3U link.
After a while, you will see Apollo TV loading TV series, movies, and live channels in the IPTV Smarters app. When you open IPTV Smarters next time, you will not need to go through this process again. Your Apollo IPTV playlist will be ready to select and start watching immediately.
Following the same process, you can create playlists for different IPTV services and switch between them as per your needs.
Apollo IPTV Channels
As I mentioned above, Apollo Group TV IPTV offers thousands of TV channels to select from. However, you don’t need to scroll through them all to find a relevant channel to stream on FireStick.
The channels are thoughtfully divided into several categories, like Kids, Movies, News, Adult, and Entertainment. You can browse the content by country as well.
Apollo IPTV supports content from many countries, such as the US, the UK, Canada, Belgium, and Spain.
Browsing through all of the content isn’t a desired experience, even with the categories. You can favorite your most-used channels from the list and access them from a dedicated Favorites menu in the IPTV Smarters app.
Another Apollo IPTV feature is EPG support. The EPG (electronic program guide) integrates the TV channel schedule into Apollo IPTV. It mimics the guides offered by local cable operators, making you feel right at home.
I prefer using IPTV Smarters to load most IPTV services. It works well and comes with all the goodies that you expect in a video player.
