Today, I will show you how to install the Stremium app on FireStick. You may follow these steps on any Fire TV variant, including Fire TV Cube, FireStick Lite, FireStick 4K, and Android devices. We will discuss what Stremium does and how to install it.

What Is Stremium?

Streaming your favorite TV channels has never been easier. Meet Stremium, formerly known as FitzyTV. It is a streaming app that lets you watch live TV, search for TV series, and view upcoming episodes.

It converts your FireStick and Android devices into a DVR (digital video recorder) for TV channels. Stremium lets you record shows if you are unavailable during the telecast and play them later when you want. You can also access your recordings anytime and on any device. 

Stremium offers a free plan and monthly and yearly paid subscriptions. It can be downloaded directly from the Amazon App Store, so there are no safety concerns here.  However, you can also sideload the Stremium app on your FireStick using another application, Downloader. Let us start with the process.

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

Stremium App Overview

The interface of Stremium is rich, informative, and easy to understand, even for beginners. The home screen lists channels and their schedules. If you want to learn more about a program, click on it to read a summary.

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

Initially, you get DVR free for 7 days. If you want to continue using DVR after that, you must 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 live and recorded channels, and they run perfectly well. 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.

Select the red circle to record. You will find the option to record a single episode or a full series.

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