For the new users who are wondering what is Terrarium TV, well, it is one of the best Amazon Fire Stick apps which works like Netflix but without any paid subscription. You can watch movies, TV Shows, and other videos without paying a single penny. Moreover, you don’t need to jailbreak your FireStick for it. Read this if you are wondering Terrarium TV is legal or not.

If you are an existing and regular user of Terrarium TV, you already know by now that Terrarium TV developers made a sudden announcement that they are shutting down the app and it will no longer be available effective immediately.

Starting October 2018, the app is not even accessible anymore.

This came to me as a big shock. I have been a very regular user of Terrarium TV on my Fire TV Stick. I am surely going to miss it. There is no denying that Terrarium TV was the best streaming app of its time.

But, what if I told you that you could continue watching your favorite content via Terrarium TV even after it has been taken down? Yes, there is a mod version of the Terrarium TV that does not prompt you to update the app and lets you watch all the existing on-demand movies and shows.

Now that you know all the facts about this app, let me show you how to install Terrarium TV on Amazon Fire Stick. I will add two working methods, you could choose whatever is more convenient for you.

Method 1: Install Terrarium TV on FireStick Using Downloader App

The regular version of the Terrarium TV app recommended using the Yes Player for fewer ads and better streaming experience. But, off late, several users told us that Yes Player wasn’t downloading. Now with the regular version of the app gone, we suggest using MX Player as the default video player.

In the following steps, you will first learn how to install the Terrarium TV patched version and later you will see how to install MX Player on FireStick. Make sure you install MX Player first before opening the Terrarium TV app.

Before we start, turn on “Allow apps from unknown sources” on your FireStick. You can do that by heading to Settings > System > Developer Options. Now, follow the steps below.

NOTE: If you already have the previous version of TTV, you need to uninstall it before starting the steps to install patched/modded Terrarium TV app for Fire Stick.

Step 1: Install the Downloader app from Amazon Store if you don’t have it already. Select the search option on the FireStick home-screen and look up for the Downloader app.

Step 2: Run the Downloader app from Your Apps & Channels section. Following is the Downloader home-screen you will be presented with. Select and click the space on the right for the URL field

Step 3: An on-screen keyboard pops up. Enter the following URL: https://www.firesticktricks.com/ttv

Step 4: Hit the GO button

Step 5: (Only required if you are redirected. If the file downloads directly, skip this step) You will be redirected to a webpage in the Browser section of the Downloader app. Click the Download button.

Step 6: Wait for the Downloader to download the Terrarium TV Modded APK file on your Fire TV / Fire Stick / Fire TV Cube.

Step 7: As soon as the file is downloaded, the Downloader app will begin the installation process. Go to the bottom right of the window. You will notice that the Next button changes to Install.

Click Install to continue

Step 8: Wait for the installation to complete

Step 9: The App Installed notification indicates that Terrarium TV modded version has been installed on your FireStick device.

Step 10: When you are back on the Downloader window, click Delete

Step 11: Click Delete again. This deletes the Terrarium TV APK on your FireStick. You don’t need it any longer as you have already installed the app.

We will now install the MX Player on FireStick

Click the URL field again

How to Use Fire Stick with Terrarium TV ‘Safely’

Before you start streaming with Terrarium TV on your Fire Stick, I would like to warn you that everything you stream on Terrarium is visible to your ISP and Government. Reportedly, the current version of TTV is recording the users’ location. This means, streaming copyrighted content (free movies and TV shows) might get you into legal trouble.

Thankfully, you can hide your online streaming/browsing activities with a VPN. A VPN a.k.a Virtual Private Network helps you bypass ISP throttling, Government Surveillance, and content geo-restrictions.

I am using ExpressVPN on my Fire Stick, mobile, and PC. After trying several paid and free VPNs, I can say ExpressVPN is the fastest and most secure VPN.

We do not encourage the violation of the copyright laws. But, what if you end up streaming content from an illegitimate source unintentionally? It is not always easy to tell the difference between a legit and illegal source.

Here’s how to start using ExpressVPN on your FireStick and keep your streaming activities hidden from prying eyes.

Step 1: Subscribe to ExpressVPN HERE. It comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Meaning, you can use it freely for the first 30-days and if you are not satisfied with the performance (which is highly unlikely), you can ask for the full refund.

Step 2: Power ON your Fire TV / Stick and go to “Search” option on the extreme left. Now type “Expressvpn” (without quotes) in the search bar and select ExpressVPN when it shows up in the search results

Step 3: Click “Download” to install the ExpressVPN app for Fire TV / Stick.

Step 4: Open the app and enter your login credentials which you created while buying the ExpressVPN subscription. Click “Sign in”

Step 5: 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.
