A Fire TV Stick is the quickest way to get Dino IPTV onto almost any TV. It’s cheap, it hides behind the screen, and once it’s set up you’ll forget it’s there. Here’s the whole process, from an empty stick to your first channel.
One thing to know up front: Dino IPTV is a subscription, not an app. You watch it inside an IPTV player app, and on a Fire TV Stick that app usually comes from outside Amazon’s store. That’s the only slightly unusual part, and we’ll take it slowly.

Part 1: Get the Downloader app
Downloader is a free app in the Amazon Appstore. Think of it as a tiny browser that can fetch and install apps by their web address. You’ll use it once, maybe twice.
- Press the Home button, go to Find and choose Search.
- Type Downloader and pick the app with the orange icon.
- Select Get. It installs in a few seconds.
Part 2: Allow it to install apps
Out of the box, a Fire TV Stick only installs apps from Amazon. This switch tells it Downloader is allowed too.
- Go to Settings, then My Fire TV.
- Open Developer Options, then Install Unknown Apps.
- Find Downloader in the list and switch it On.
No Developer Options?Newer sticks hide that menu. Go to My Fire TV, then About, highlight your device name and press the centre button seven times. You’ll see a message saying you’re now a developer, and the menu appears.
Part 3: Install your player app
Most of our customers use one of two players. Pick the one that sounds more like you:
TiviMate
Looks like a classic cable guide, with channels down the side and times across the top. Great for live TV. Full guide: Dino IPTV on TiviMate.
IPTV Smarters Pro
Big, simple tiles for Live TV, Movies and Series. Great for on-demand. Full guide: Dino IPTV on IPTV Smarters Pro.
Not sure?
Use the player named in your welcome email. You can always add a second player later with the same login.
- Open Downloader and click the address box.
- Type the download address for your player exactly as it appears in your welcome email, then press Go.
- When the download finishes, choose Install.
- Choose Done, then Delete when Downloader offers to remove the installer file. It frees up space on the stick.
Play it safeOnly install player apps from the address in your welcome email or the app maker’s official site. Copies passed around on random websites can carry adware, and we can’t help with apps we didn’t point you to.
Part 4: Add your Dino IPTV login
Open the player from Your Apps and Channels and add a new playlist or user. Choose Xtream Codes when it asks for the type, then enter the server address, username and password from your email. Every player names these screens a little differently, so our app guides go through it click by click:
Small thing, big differenceHold the Home button, open Apps, highlight your player, press the menu button (three lines) and choose Move to front. Now it sits on your home row, one click away.
If something goes wrong
Downloader says the file was not found
The address has a typo, which is easy with an on-screen keyboard. Compare it with your welcome email one character at a time, including any slashes.
“App not installed”
Check that Install Unknown Apps is switched on for Downloader. If it is, the stick may be full: uninstall an app you no longer use and try again.
The picture stutters
Restart your router, then unplug the stick for 30 seconds. Test your speed at Fast.com. You want 25 Mbps or more for HD. Amazon also has a short guide on restarting a Fire TV device.
The stick is behind the TV and Wi-Fi is weak
Use the short HDMI extender that came in the box. Moving the stick a few centimetres out from behind the TV often fixes a weak signal on its own.
