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 FireStick 4K Max, FireStick 3rd Gen, FireStick Lite, and Fire TV Cube.
What is MegaBox HD?
MegaBox HD is a third-party app for streaming on-demand movies and TV shows. The app features a solid library of movies and shows, including classics, award-winning titles, and trending videos. Besides letting you stream your favorite on-demand content, MegaBox HD lets you download videos offline.
I found the app intuitive, with eye-catching graphics. Its dark background and clearly laid out titles make it easy to find what you want among the vast library of movies and TV shows. The menu is straightforward, dividing the content into movies and TV shows.
The two categories are further subdivided into popular, latest releases, and ratings. For instance, if you select the TV show section, you can filter your preference by popularity, date of release, or critics’ reviews.
MegaBox HD is one of the lightest yet most resourceful apps to stream on-demand content on FireStick. It lets you choose your preferred resolution between 360p, 720p, and 1080p, depending on the strength of your internet connection.
However, its lightweight nature does not support Trakt and Real Debrid integration. If you are looking for an app that supports Trakt and Real Debrid, check out our best FireStick apps for movies and TV shows.
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!

Is MegaBox HD Safe and Legal?
Popular app shops like Google Play and the Amazon App Store don’t provide MegaBox HD. This is usually a red flag. However, an app not being listed on these app stores doesn’t always mean they are unsafe. I scanned MegaBox HD’s APK files on VirusTotal, and no vendor flagged the app as malicious.
When it comes to legality, MegaBox HD is a third-party application. Unlike official apps, a third-party app raises legal concerns because it isn’t governed by copyright protection laws followed by app stores.
FireStickTricks.com can’t verify whether MegaBox HD is legal or not.
We do not endorse piracy. However, you have every right to privacy. Therefore, I recommend using ExpressVPN for FireStick to stream content through unofficial apps.

Installing an official app on FireStick is easy because you only need to search for the app on Amazon App Store and download it. With a third-party app like MegaBox HD, the process is longer because you need to sideload the app with a downloader app or platform.
