You can use these instructions to install the app on any Amazon Fire TV product, including Fire TV Stick, Fire TV Stick Lite, Fire TV Stick 4K and Fire TV Cube, New FireStick 4K, New FireStick 4K Max, Android TV boxes, and other Android devices. Let’s see what Now TV offers before we dive into the installation process.

What Is Now TV?

Now TV is a subscription-based streaming service owned and operated by British broadcaster and satellite television provider Sky. The Now TV app is an official Amazon App Store app, available for download for all FireSticks registered in the United Kingdom.

This streaming service offers critically acclaimed movies, popular TV shows, reality shows, and sports. Its popularity is based on its no-contract policy, which makes it an excellent streaming service for short-term or on-demand content such as seasonal sports events and reality TV shows.  The plans are priced monthly, and you can cancel your subscription anytime.

The app is compatible with all popular operating systems, such as Android, iOS, Windows, and macOS. Moreover, when you buy a subscription, you can register up to six devices and stream content from three devices simultaneously.

Streaming content on Now TV is straightforward. All you need to do is purchase a membership plan, sign up for a Now account, and start streaming your favorite content. Each membership offers exclusive content, ensuring there is something for everyone. For an enhanced viewing experience, you can upgrade your plan to enjoy ad-free streaming and high-quality definition.

I like the app because:

• It offers hundreds of classic, trending, and popular movies, TV shows, sports content, and reality TV Shows
• It provides affordable and noncontract packages to let you stream premium and exclusive content
• Offers an ad-free and full HD streaming experience
• It has a seven-day free trial, except for the Sports membership

This is how you install Now TV on FireStick.

How to Stream on FireStick with a VPN

Your internet provider and many websites/apps can see your IP address and some details about your connection. Using a VPN encrypts your traffic and masks your IP address, which helps protect your online privacy.

I recommend ExpressVPN. It’s a reputable VPN with strong encryption and fast connections, and it’s straightforward to install on Fire TV/FireStick and other devices.

Next, I’ll show you how to set up and use ExpressVPN on your Fire TV/Stick. 

Step 1: Subscribe to ExpressVPN HERE. It comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Meaning, you can use it for 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 2: Power ON your Fire TV Stick and go to Find, followed by the Search option.

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

Step 4: Click Download to install the ExpressVPN app on Fire TV / Stick.

Step 5: Open the app and enter the login credentials that you created when you purchased the ExpressVPN subscription. Click Sign in.

Step 6: Click the Power icon to connect to a VPN server. That’s all. Your connection is now secure with the fastest and best VPN for FireStick.

How to Use the Now TV App on FireStick

Now TV is an excellent streaming service for watching current and on-demand content when you want without entering into any contracts. However, if you intend to use the app frequently, I recommend creating a shortcut on the FireStick home screen.

Now TV has a user-friendly interface that makes browsing content effortless. The homepage features a “New and Trending” section at the top, showcasing the latest and most popular from Sky TV. Additionally, you will find various tabs, such as TV Guide, Trailers, Movies, Kids, Amazing Animation, Recommended Shows, Most Popular Movies, and Live Sports, providing quick access to diverse content. These tabs give you an idea of where to look, depending on the content you want to watch.

There is a menu to the left of the home screen with the following categories:

• Home
• Movies
• Entertainment
• Sports
• Kids
• Hayu

Each category has subcategories, further organizing the content in an easy-to-navigate system. For instance, when you select the Movies category, you find Highlights, All Movies, and Watch Live. Under All Categories, the movies fall into different sub-sections: comedy, action, family, crime and thriller, 5-star films and sci-fi, and more.

The magnifying glass icon, conveniently located in the top right corner of the home screen, lets you quickly find what you are looking for. Type in the keyword you seek and click search to see if what you want to stream is available. For example, you can enter ” Formula 1″ to find live channels showing the Formula 1 Grand Prix races.

When you click on My TV, you will be prompted to sign in if you are not logged in to your account. Enter your username and password to start streaming content, and if you forgot your password, press Forgotten Your Password. The link will take you to the Now TV website, where you can recover it.
