Step 1: Enable Developer Options and Sideloading

Before you can install any app from outside the official Amazon Appstore, you need to enable a hidden setting on your Firestick. This process is often called “sideloading,” and it’s perfectly safe. It simply tells your device to trust apps from other sources.

Here’s how to do it:

From the Firestick home screen, navigate to the Settings icon (the gear symbol).
Select My Fire TV.
Choose About.
Now, highlight the first item, Fire TV Stick, and press the Select button on your remote 7 times in a row. You’ll see a countdown appear at the bottom of the screen. When it’s done, a message will say, “No need, you are already a developer.”
Press the Back button on your remote to return to the previous screen. You will now see a new menu item called Developer Options.
Select Developer Options.
Turn on Apps from Unknown Sources. A warning message will appear. This is standard. Select Turn On to confirm.

That’s it. You’ve now prepared your Firestick for IPTV. This simple change allows you to install powerful apps that give you more control over your streaming experience. This is the most important first step for any IPTV on Firestick Canada setup.

Step 2: Install the Downloader App

Now that your Firestick is ready for sideloading, you need a tool to download the IPTV player. The best app for this is called Downloader. It’s a free utility available directly from the Amazon Appstore that combines a web browser with a file manager, making it easy to install third-party apps.

Follow these simple steps to install Downloader:

Return to the Firestick Home screen.
Navigate to the Find menu (the magnifying glass icon).
Select Search and begin typing “Downloader.” It should appear as a suggestion. Select it.
The Downloader app will appear in the search results. It has a bright orange icon with a white arrow. Select it.
Press the Download or Get button to install the app. It will download and install automatically.
Once installed, select Open to launch the Downloader app.

When you open Downloader for the first time, it will ask for permission to access files on your device. Click Allow. You’ll also see a Quick Start Guide. Read it and click OK. You are now ready to install your IPTV player. You will use this app for more than just your IPTV on Firestick Canada service; it’s the key to unlocking your device

Step 3: Install an IPTV Player (TiviMate)

An IPTV player is an application that organizes and plays your IPTV subscription channels. Think of it like a cable box, but far more powerful and customizable. While there are many options available, the best IPTV app for Firestick is TiviMate. It offers a clean, professional interface that feels like a premium cable service, with a fast EPG (Electronic Program Guide) and robust customization options.

This TiviMate setup guide will show you how to install it using the Downloader app.

Open the Downloader app.
In the main screen, you’ll see a URL entry box. Click inside it.
Carefully type the following URL to download TiviMate: troypoint.com/tivi and click Go. This is a trusted shortcut link that always points to the latest version of the app. This is a reliable and safe file for IPTV on Firestick Canada.
Downloader will connect to the server and begin downloading the TiviMate APK file. You can see the progress on the screen.
Once the download is complete, the installation screen will appear automatically. If it doesn’t, find the file in the “Files” section of Downloader and click on it.
Select Install at the bottom right of the screen.
TiviMate will now install on your Firestick. When it’s finished, you’ll see a notification that says “App Installed.”
Click Done, not Open. This will take you back to the Downloader app.
A pop-up will appear with the APK file you downloaded. You no longer need this installation file, so it’s best to delete it to save space on your Firestick. Select Delete, and then Delete again to confirm.

Congratulations! TiviMate is now installed on your device. You can find it in your “Apps & Channels” section on the Firestick home screen. For easy access, press the menu button on the TiviMate icon and select “Move to front.”

Step 4: Configure TiviMate and Add Your IPTV Service

This is the final and most important step to getting your IPTV on Firestick Canada service online

The final step is to connect your IPTV subscription to the TiviMate app. To do this, you will need your M3U link or Xtream Codes login details, which your IPTV provider sends you after you sign up. If you don’t have a provider yet, you can’t complete this step. You can grab our 24-hour, all-access IPTV trial to get your login codes instantly

Here’s how to complete the IPTV setup in TiviMate:

Open the TiviMate app from your Firestick home screen.
You will be prompted to add a playlist. Click the Add Playlist button.
TiviMate will ask you to enter your playlist details. You have three main options: M3U playlist, Xtream Codes, or Stalker Portal. Xtream Codes is the most common and reliable method. Select it.
A new screen will appear asking for your Server address, Username, and Password. Your IPTV provider will have sent you this information in your welcome email.
- Server address: This is the URL, including the “http://” and the port number at the end (e.g., http://service.example:8080).
- Username: Enter the username provided.
- Password: Enter the password provided.
Double-check that you have entered everything correctly. Typos are the most common reason for login failures.
Click Next.
TiviMate will now process the playlist. You’ll see a message saying “Playlist is processed” along with the number of channels and movies found.
You can give your playlist a name (e.g., “My IPTV”) or leave it as is.
Click Done.

The EPG (Electronic Program Guide) will now start loading. This may take a few minutes, depending on the number of channels. Once it’s finished, you’ll be presented with a sleek, modern TV guide. You’re now ready to browse channels, watch live sports, and explore on-demand content.

Is IPTV legal and safe?

This is the most common question. The technology is legal, but the services can be a “grey area.” We strongly recommend using a VPN for privacy. We have a full guide on IPTV legality in Canada that all new users should read.

You’re Done. Start Streaming.
