What is Ola TV?
Ola TV is a live TV streaming service with hundreds of cable TV channels. This app features channels (local and national) from the United States and a host of foreign countries, including the UK, Canada, Brazil, the UAE, and India.
Ola TV requires two supporting media players: Kshaw and Ludio Player. It does not work with other media players, not even MX Player.
The app has an easy-to-use interface and tons of channels in up to HD quality. Additionally, Ola TV is part of our list of best FireStick and live TV apps.
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 Ola TV Safe & Legal?
Ola TV is a third-party application unavailable on the Amazon app store. Third-party apps usually come from unauthorized sources, exposing users to viruses and security vulnerabilities. Unfortunately, FireStickTricks doesn’t have the tools and expertise to determine whether Ola TV is safe.
However, I ran the Ola TV APK file through a virus scan using VirusTotal. Luckily, no vendor flagged it as malicious. Please check the image below.
Regarding legality, as mentioned earlier, Ola TV is a third-party application. Most third-party applications include premium channels and live sporting events without proper licensing or permission from the content owners. This can put you in legal trouble. FireStickTricks doesn’t have the expertise and tools to vouch for the Ola TV app’s legality.
However, I recommend using a VPN to protect yourself from legal hassles and online threats. I use ExpressVPN and recommend it to you.
How to Install Ola TV on FireStick
Ola TV is not listed on the Amazon Store. However, you can install it on FireStick by sideloading the APK. I will show you how.
The process involves the following two main parts:

It’s necessary to update to continue using the application, thank you!!!” Then it says “Click Here.”, but it doesn’t seem clickable. I try and nothing happens. The remote arrows seem not to navigate.
