How to Set Up IPTV on Amazon Fire TV Stick

Last reviewed:

Short answer

Turn on Developer Options (Settings → My Fire TV → About → click the device name 7 times), allow Downloader under Install unknown apps, then open Downloader, type 395800 and press Go. Install Hot Player, open it, and send us the MAC address it shows — we add your subscription to it.

A short visual walkthrough of the steps

Before you start

  • A Fire TV Stick connected to the internet and a few minutes with the remote.
  • An active Strong 8K subscription — you can choose a plan here.
  • One model is different: the Fire TV Stick 4K Select does not allow installing apps from outside the Amazon store. If that is your device, tell us before you buy and we will suggest the right option.

Step 1 — Turn on Developer Options

  1. Open Settings → My Fire TV. (On Fire TV smart TVs the menu is called Device & Software.)
  2. Choose About and click your device name 7 times until a message says you are now a developer.
  3. Press Back once — Developer Options now appears in the list.

Step 2 — Install Downloader

  1. Go to the Home screen and use the search (magnifier) to find Downloader.
  2. Install it. Downloader is a free app by AFTVnews.

Step 3 — Allow Downloader to install apps

  1. Settings → My Fire TV → Developer Options → Install unknown apps.
  2. Switch Downloader to ON.

Step 4 — Download Hot Player with code 395800

  1. Open Downloader. In the URL box type 395800 and press Go.
  2. When the download finishes choose Install, then Done.

Step 5 — Activate with your MAC address

Open Hot Player. It shows a MAC address on the screen. Send us that address — as text or simply a photo of the TV screen — and we add your subscription to the app. There is no username to type. How MAC activation works.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Downloader code for Hot Player?

The current code is 395800. Type it in Downloader’s URL box and press Go. We read the code from our live apps list, so this page always shows the working one.

Can I use one subscription on two Fire Sticks?

Each subscription plays on one device at a time. You can move it to another device whenever you like; watching on two devices at the same time needs a second subscription.

Does Fire TV Stick 4K Select work?

It does not allow installing apps from outside the Amazon store, so the Downloader method does not work on it. Contact us and we will suggest an alternative.
