In this Thunder TV IPTV review, I will show you how to use the service on FireStick and discuss its distinguishing features, plans and pricing, and subscription process. The steps outlined here apply to all Fire TV devices, including the FireStick 3rd Generation, FireStick Lite, New FireStick 4K, New FireStick 4k Max, and Fire TV Cube.
What Is Thunder TV?
Thunder TV is a third-party IPTV service that offers over 22,000 live TV channels and VOD content. The live TV library spans various niches, including entertainment, news, kids, travel, sports, and lifestyle.
Thunder TV’s services cost less than traditional cable TV. It offers hundreds of local and international TV channels, including reality TV, cooking programs, lifestyle networks, sports, and news channels.
Thunder TV comes with all essential IPTV features, including an EPG guide, search function, multi-screen, and catch-up TV.
It is also compatible with most home devices, including the FireStick, Android TV, Roku, and Chromecast.
The IPTV service lacks a standalone app. Instead, it relies on third-party IPTV players to deliver content. It supports popular IPTV players like Tivimate and IPTV Smarters Pro.
Attention IPTV Users!
Governments and ISPs across the world monitor their users' online activities. If you use third-party IPTV services, you should always use a good IPTV VPN and hide your identity so your streaming experience doesn’t take a bad turn. Currently, your IP is visible to everyone.
I use ExpressVPN, the fastest and most secure VPN in the industry. It is very easy to install on any device, including Amazon Fire TV Stick, PC, Mac, and Smartphones. Also, it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you don't like their service, you can always ask for a refund. ExpressVPN also has a special deal where you can get 4 months free and save 61% on the 2-year plan.

Is Thunder TV Safe & Legal?
Third-party IPTV services like Thunder TV raise safety and legal concerns for various reasons. Some third-party services contain malicious files and viruses that can harm your devices and corrupt your data.
I scanned the official Thunder TV website on VirusTotal to check for suspicious files. None of the 88 security vendors flagged the site as malicious or containing suspicious files. See the screenshot below:
Thunder TV offers very cheap plans, which makes it popular over cable TV or official IPTV services like YouTube TV. However, it raises legal concerns as it is not sure whether they have proper content licensing agreements. FireStickTricks.com cannot determine if the provider has obtained the rights to stream the content from the owners.
Streaming pirated content knowingly or unknowingly can put you in legal trouble.
We don’t condone streaming pirated content. However, to be safe, always use a reliable VPN when using unofficial services like Thunder TV. The VPN encrypts your data and hides your online activity from third parties. I use and recommend ExpressVPN.
