How to set up IPTV on Firestick

The Amazon Firestick is the most popular way to watch IPTV in the UK. Setup takes about five minutes once you have your login details.

Before you start

  • An Amazon Firestick, Fire TV Stick 4K or Fire TV, connected to your TV and the internet
  • Your GoStream 4K login details, sent on WhatsApp and by email after payment
  • The name of the player app we recommend for Firestick, included in your welcome message

Step-by-step setup

  1. Update your Firestick. Go to Settings, My Fire TV, About, Check for updates. An up-to-date stick avoids most app problems.
  2. Open the Appstore. From the home screen, select Find, then Search.
  3. Install the player app. Type the name of the app from your welcome message, select it and press Get or Download.
  4. Open the app and choose the login type. Most player apps ask for an Xtream Codes login or a playlist (M3U) link. Pick the one that matches your welcome message.
  5. Enter your details. Type the username, password and server URL exactly as we sent them. Check for capital letters and spaces.
  6. Wait for the first load. The app downloads the channel list and guide. The first time can take a minute.
  7. Start watching. Choose Live TV, Films or Series.

Tips for the best picture on Firestick

  • Use the Ethernet adapter or a 5 GHz Wi-Fi network if you can.
  • Restart the stick every few days: hold Select and Play together for five seconds.
  • Clear the app cache if it slows down: Settings, Applications, Manage Installed Applications, choose the app, Clear cache.
  • For 4K, use a Fire TV Stick 4K or 4K Max and a 4K TV.
