Installing IPTV Smarters Pro on an Amazon Firestick is a 10-minute job for first-time UK users. This beginner guide walks through every single step in plain English, covers the four most common stumbles new users hit, and explains exactly how to test the install with a free 24-hour IPTV trial before committing to any subscription. If you have never sideloaded an app on a Firestick before, start here — the steps assume zero prior knowledge.
What you need before starting
- An Amazon Firestick (any model from 2018 onwards — Firestick 4K Max recommended for HD/4K viewing)
- A working internet connection on the Firestick (Settings → Network — verify connected)
- Your Amazon account already signed in on the Firestick
- An IPTV Smarters Pro subscription that issues Xtream Codes credentials (or a free 24-hour trial — get one below)
Time required: 10 minutes for first-time users. Subsequent installs (e.g., on additional Firesticks in the household) take 3-5 minutes.

Step 1: enable Apps from Unknown Sources on Firestick
By default, Firestick only installs apps from the official Amazon App Store. IPTV Smarters Pro is not in that store (Amazon de-listed it), so we need to allow apps from outside Amazon.
- From the Firestick home screen, scroll up to the top menu bar.
- Click Settings (the gear icon, far right).
- Click My Fire TV.
- Click Developer Options.
- Click Apps from Unknown Sources — toggle to ON.
- A warning appears about security risks. Click Turn On.
On 2024+ Fire OS versions, the Developer Options menu may be hidden by default. If you do not see it: Settings → My Fire TV → About → click on "Fire TV Stick" rapidly 7 times until "Developer Options Enabled" appears.
Step 2: install the Downloader app from the Amazon App Store
Downloader is the tool we use to download IPTV Smarters Pro from the developer's website. It IS in the Amazon App Store (unlike IPTV Smarters Pro itself).
- From the Firestick home screen, click the Search icon (magnifying glass, top left).
- Type Downloader using the on-screen keyboard.
- Click the Downloader result (orange icon by AFTV News).
- Click Get or Download.
- Wait for the install to complete — about 30 seconds.
- Click Open.
The first time Downloader opens, it asks for permission to access files on your Firestick. Click Allow.
Step 3: download IPTV Smarters Pro via Downloader
- In Downloader, you should see a URL field at the top.
- Click in the URL field. The on-screen keyboard appears.
- Carefully type:
https://www.iptvsmarters.com/smarters.apk
- Double-check there are no typos. Click Go.
- Downloader downloads the APK file (about 30 MB, takes 10-30 seconds on UK fibre).
- When the download completes, an Install screen appears automatically.
- Click Install in the bottom right.
- Wait for the install to complete — about 20 seconds.
- Click Done.
- Downloader prompts to delete the APK file. Click Delete, then Delete again to confirm. This frees up Firestick storage.
Step 4: open IPTV Smarters Pro and add your IPTV credentials
- Press the Home button on the Firestick remote.
- Scroll to the Your Apps & Channels row (or click Apps from the top menu).
- Find IPTV Smarters Pro (it's typically at the bottom of the apps list as it was just installed).
- Click to open IPTV Smarters Pro.
- Accept the privacy prompt on first launch.
- Click Add New User.
- Click Login with Xtream Codes API.
- Now enter the credentials from your IPTV trial WhatsApp message:
- Any name: type any name to identify this profile (e.g., "Living Room")
- Username: paste from WhatsApp
- Password: paste from WhatsApp (be careful with auto-correction — disable it if needed)
- Server URL: paste from WhatsApp (typically starts with http:// followed by a server address and port number)
- Click Add User.
- The channel list and EPG load over 30-90 seconds for our 92,000-channel feed.
- You're done. Browse the channel list, pick a channel, watch.

Common beginner stumbles and how to fix them
"Apps from Unknown Sources" toggle does nothing
Sometimes the toggle gets stuck in the "off" state visually even though it's working internally. Reboot the Firestick (Settings → My Fire TV → Restart) and try again. The toggle should now work normally.
Downloader URL gives "Server returned an empty file"
You typed the URL slightly wrong. The most common errors: a typo in "smarters" (correct: s-m-a-r-t-e-r-s), missing the ".apk" at the end, or using "https" with an extra letter. Triple-check the URL exactly matches: https://www.iptvsmarters.com/smarters.apk
IPTV Smarters Pro shows "Connection failed" after entering credentials
Three causes: (1) you typed the password wrong (passwords are case-sensitive — check capitals and zeros vs O's); (2) the Firestick has the wrong system date and time (Settings → System → Date and Time → Sync to network); (3) the trial credentials have expired (24 hours is short — if your trial ended, request a paid plan).
Channel list loads but most channels show "Not available"
This usually means the IPTV player subscription categories your subscription tier does not include are showing greyed out. On the free trial, you have full access — if you see "Not available" on the trial, message us on WhatsApp; there's a server hiccup we need to fix.
How to install IPTV Smarters Pro on Firestick FAQ
Is IPTV Smarters Pro free to install on Firestick?
Yes — the IPTV Smarters Pro app is free to download and install. The IPTV Smarters Pro subscription that provides the channels is the cost, starting at £9.99/month (or free for the 24-hour trial).
Why isn't IPTV Smarters Pro in the Amazon App Store?
Amazon de-listed it from the Fire TV App Store under their content-policy review. The app itself is fully legal and supported by the developer — Amazon's de-listing is about IPTV content category sensitivities, not the app's quality. The Downloader sideload route is the standard install path for UK Firestick users.
Will my Firestick warranty be voided by sideloading IPTV Smarters Pro?
No — sideloading apps via Downloader does not affect your Firestick warranty. Amazon's warranty covers hardware faults; software installs are not part of that. Tens of thousands of UK Firesticks run sideloaded IPTV Smarters Pro daily without issue.
How long does it take to install IPTV Smarters Pro on Firestick for the first time?
10 minutes for first-time users including the IPTV credential entry. Subsequent installs on additional Firesticks take 3-5 minutes once you know the steps.
Can I record TV using IPTV Smarters Pro on Firestick?
No — IPTV Smarters Pro does not include recording (DVR) functionality. For recording on Firestick, install TiviMate Premium (£4.99/year) or OTT Navigator (free) instead. Same Xtream Codes credentials work in either app.
