How to Install & Use DistroTV on FireStick

In this article, I’ll show how to install DistroTV on FireStick. DistroTV is a popular free IPTV service. This guide is valid for all Fire TV devices, like FireStick Lite, Fire TV Cube, and FireStick 4K and 4K Max.

What Is DistroTV?

DistroTV is one of the leading free video streaming platforms worldwide. It offers a wide range of TV content at no cost.

You don’t need an account or subscription to watch content on DistroTV; you can start streaming instantly. However, as a free service, DistroTV is supported by ads.

DistroTV offers over 150 live TV channels and tons of content in multiple languages, catering to the entertainment needs of the global audience.

It provides an on-demand section where you can watch content related to sports, tech, entertainment, movies, lifestyle, music, and more.

DistroTV’s user-friendly platform offers flexible streaming that can be accessed on various platforms, such as Amazon Fire TV, Roku, Google TV, Apple TV, Samsung TV, LG TV, Sony TV, Android, and iOS.

Unfortunately, DistroTV isn’t available worldwide. You can only access it in the US, UK, and Canada. However, you can use ExpressVPN to bypass the service’s geo-restrictions. More on that later.

Attention FireStick Users

Governments and ISPs across the world monitor their users' online activities. If you use third-party streaming apps on your Fire TV Stick, you should always use a good FireStick VPN and hide your identity so your movie-viewing experience doesn’t take a bad turn. Currently, your IP is visible to everyone.

I use ExpressVPN, the fastest and most secure VPN in the industry. It is very easy to install on any device, including Amazon Fire TV Stick. Also, it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you don't like their service, you can always ask for a refund. ExpressVPN also has a special deal where you can get 4 months free and save 61% on the 2-year plan.

Here is why you must use a VPN all the time.

How to Sideload DistroTV APK on FireStick

There’s another way to install DistroTV on your FireStick: that is sideloading. This involves manually downloading and installing an APK file from a third-party website.

This process isn’t as straightforward as installing the official version of the app. I’ve split the section into two parts.

Part 1: Prepare Your FireStick to Download DistroTV

First, you must prepare your device to sideload the DistroTV APK.

Install Downloader from the Amazon App Store, enabling you to download and install the APK file for DistroTV. After that, we’ll have to enable Downloader to sideload files by turning on the unknown sources FireStick setting.

To accomplish this, follow our detailed guide on how to set up Downloader on FireStick.

4. Enter firesticktricks.com/distro exactly as I’ve written it, then click Go.

Note: I shortened the URL for the webpage where the DistroTV APK file is hosted. FireStickTricks.com doesn’t host or own the APK.

5. Wait for the download to start, then wait for the APK file to download on your Downloader app.

6. After the download, click INSTALL.

7. After the installation, click DONE.
