How to Install Stremium App on FireStick (2024)

Today I will show you how to install Stremium app on FireStick. You may follow these steps on any Fire TV variant, including Fire TV Cube, FireStick Lite, and FireStick 4K, as well as Android devices. First, I’ll tell you what Stremium does, then I’ll show you how to install it.

What Is Stremium?

Streaming your favorite TV channels has never been easier. Meet Stremium (formerly FitzyTV), a streaming app that turns your FireStick and Android devices into a DVR (digital video recorder) for streaming TV channels. With Stremium, you can watch live TV, search for TV series, and view upcoming episodes.

Busy with other commitments? No problem, you can record the shows you’re interested in and play them back whenever you have time. Notably, you can access your recordings anytime and on any device.

Stremium has a free plan, as well as monthly and yearly subscriptions. You can download the app directly through the Amazon App Store. However, in case you need a backup method, I have also provided you with the steps to sideload the Stremium app on your FireStick using another app called Downloader. Let’s dive in.

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!

Here are reasons why using a VPN at all times is essential.

How to Install Stremium on FireStick with Downloader

If you have already installed the app via Amazon App Store, you do not need to follow these steps. However, you can go through it if you want, for educational purposes.

Part 1: Preparing FireStick to Install Stremium

For this method, we will sideload Stremium using Downloader, an app in the Amazon App Store. Downloader allows FireStick users to easily get files from anywhere online.

I encourage you to use this method if you don’t already have a Downloader or aren’t comfortable with sideloading. Understanding the process of sideloading with Downloader will likely come in handy later, especially if you follow more of our guides.

2. Type in Downloader. When you see Downloader appear under the on-screen keyboard, select it.

3. On the page of search results, pick Downloader.

Because we’re sideloading in this method, we’ll quickly make some changes to our settings.

5. On your home screen, go to the settings gear.

6. Click My Fire TV.

7. Now choose Developer options.

Note: If you do not see Developer Options, go to Settings > My Fire TV > About.
Now, select Fire TV Stick and click it 7 times to enable Developer Options. If you’re still not sure how to do it, here’s a step-by-step guide to enable developer options.

8. Click Install unknown apps.

Note: If you see Apps from Unknown Sources, click it so that it is on ON, and skip step 10 below.

Stremium App Overview

The interface of Stremium is rich and informative, but it’s easy to understand, even for beginners. The home screen is a list of channels and their schedules. Want to learn more about a program? Just click on it to read a summary.

If you scroll left with your FireStick remote, you can access the options All Channels, DVR, and Settings. All Channels will take you back to the same home screen: the list of channels and their schedules.

Initially, you get DVR free for 7 days. If you would like to continue using DVR after that, you need to pick up a subscription plan. If you select Settings, you can add or remove TV providers, tweak DVR recordings, and manage channels.

I tried playing several channels, both live and recorded—they worked perfectly. There is no option to integrate an external media player, like MX Player or VLC Player, but the default media player is effective. It has buttons for play/pause, rewind/forward, previous/next, and record.

If you want to record a single episode or an entire series, simply press the red circle. Then you can choose the settings accordingly.

Even with no subscription and no providers, you can currently access around 62 channels. And more channels are continuously being added, which is awesome.

Wrapping Up

Stremium is among the best FireStick apps for live TV and integrated DVR. If you face any difficulties in installing the app on your device, leave a comment. I will get back quickly.
