Watch an IPTV playlist on Fire TV

Your provider gave you a playlist. The Fire TV needs an app to play it. Here’s the quickest way, about five minutes.

1. Install the app

Install Downloader from the Amazon Appstore. Then go to Settings → My Fire TV → About and click the device name 7 times: that unlocks Developer options, where you allow Downloader to install apps.

Open Downloader, type sofascreen.com/tv, and install.

2. Add your playlist, from your phone

Don’t type a long link with the remote. The TV shows a code and a QR code: scan it with your phone and add the playlist there.

The TV’s first screen: scan the QR code, or type the code at sofascreen.com/manage.

Not working?

“Your provider is not answering” means the provider’s server is down or moved. Providers often give two or three addresses: try another one from their message.
