In this tutorial, I will show you how to install Megabox HD APK on FireStick. The screenshots used in this guide have been taken on FireStick 4K. However, the method works on Amazon Fire Stick 2nd Gen and Fire TV Cube as well.
Megabox HD is a third-party app for streaming on-demand movies and TV shows. It is a lightweight app that weighs less than 5MB. Therefore, do not expect it to be feature-rich. However, as I write this guide, the app is streaming content well. Hence, I decided to write this tutorial.
The app features a solid library of movies and shows. It also gets some good links from quality servers. Unfortunately, to keep the app lightweight, it has been trimmed down to just the basics. Therefore, you will not find Real Debrid support. In fact, Trakt support is also missing.
If you are looking for apps with more features and Real Debrid and Trakt support, you may want to take a look at our list of best apps for FireStick.
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!
