I think we both can agree that the fire tv stick are watchable, but still just a dinky toy. There was never any chance they could fit a proper graphic card in that little thing. I will not recommend anyone buying one as a sole device to watch IPTV. With the money I paid I could nearly have bought a Formuler z7+ :) considering the custom fees and the Swedish GST tax when buying from the US.

ok, strange, my fire tv stick 4k is also in germany located ;) how do you install it and what settings did you made in the stick?

does the customer look german tv or just other countries? cause i just tested german channels and there the app crashed, so i did not test other countries

Stbemu on Aptoide. I’m sure I downloaded 4.3. I notice there is a 5.0 now.

hey guys,

jep that is what my tests showed. But there is one solution for it.
The new stick works great with the app "iptv extreme" that app i tested a lot of times with the stick and no problem, great performance .... try it out
but one thing i have to say, for me with that app it "seems" that the quality is/was not so good, not worse but not so good (ok i tested with a tall tv, smaller tvs wont notice that maybe). was because yesterday i tested again with that app (for other things) and the quality also seemed better

try it out, if you have question you can write me :)

Ich become the message from the email from Smart IPTV

It’s a hardware issue on new Firestick 4K. There is no fix available at the moment.

Let me know if you need a refund.

Hi guys, need help......please.....
I have a firestick (not alexa) running Smart iptv app and perfect player. VOD and movies work on both apps but no channels work (m3u subscription taken)
Have tried running thro 2.4ghz and 5ghz wifi via my BT smart hub 6.
Question does BT smart hub 6 block iptv/the server?
Why am I not getting any channels but can play vod and tv episodes?
Spent ages trawling the net for info, to no avail!!!

did they remove smart iptv app from the amazon app store?
Yes, they did. but you can install it with DOWNLAODER/SIDELOADER but make sure that you activate software from unknown sources first.

You can find more details on Smart IPTVs website: https://siptv.app/howto/android/

short summarise:
Fire TV stick: SETTINGS.
go to DEVICE.
go to DEVELOPER OPTIONS.
go to APP FROM UNKNOWN SOURCES - turn it ON.

Go back to Home Button and start the app DOWNLOADER (SIDELOADER). [you can use voice function to find the app]
open APK's source, would suggest to use the source from official website: www.siptv.app/howto/android/files/SmartIPTV.apk
once downloaded, simply press the install button.
that's it :)

edit: and do not forget to make a fire tv firmware update:
go to: fire tv settings
then: my fire tv
then: about
then: check for system update

hey guys,
there is an update to fix the problems: new Fire OS 6.2.5.8 software version.

go to: fire tv settings
then: my fire tv
then: about
then: check for system update

this will fix the smart iptv problem with new fire tv 4k stick. (it will also fix the green pixel salad problem with the regular fire tv stick)
