How to Set Up Fox IPTV on Fire TV Devices

Before you start

• An active Fox IPTV subscription and the details we send you.
• A Fire TV device signed in to your Amazon account.
• A stable internet connection; a 5 GHz network helps on 4K models.

Step-by-step instructions

1. Check for system updates. Go to Settings, My Fire TV, About, then Check for Updates. An up-to-date device avoids most app compatibility issues.
2. Open the Appstore. From the Fire TV home screen, open the Appstore or use the search icon. Stick to the official Appstore rather than unofficial installer tools.
3. Install a supported player. Search for the player we recommend for your subscription and install it. Ask us first if you are not sure which one to pick.
4. Launch the player. Open it from Your Apps & Channels. Move it to the front row so it is easy to find later.
5. Add your subscription details. Enter the details exactly as provided. Some players let you type them on your phone through a companion page, which is quicker than the remote.
6. Wait for the content list to load. The first synchronisation can take a minute or two depending on your connection.
7. Test and fine-tune. Play something, check the sound, and lower the quality setting if the picture stutters.

Troubleshooting

• The Fire TV Stick feels slow — Close background apps, restart the device from Settings, My Fire TV, Restart, and free up storage by removing unused apps.
• Buffering on a 4K stream — Use the 5 GHz band, keep the stick away from the back of the TV using the supplied HDMI extender, and lower the stream quality.
• The remote will not type the details correctly — Use the Fire TV app on your phone as a keyboard, or paste the details if the player supports it.
• The app opens then closes immediately — Clear its cache and data in Settings, Applications, Manage Installed Applications, then reopen it and enter the details again.

A note on safety

Only install applications from your device's official store or from the developer's own official website. Avoid unofficial download sites, and only use your subscription to access content you are legally authorized to watch.
