Which app should you pick on Fire TV?
IPTV Smarters is the easiest start and shows live channels and the TV guide in a clear layout. TiviMate is better if you mostly watch live TV and want a cable-box guide. Both work with the same IPTV Trends login, so you can try both. Our comparison of the best IPTV player for Firestick goes deeper.
Setting up the TV guide on Fire TV
With the Xtream Codes login the programme guide fills in on its own. Give it a minute after the first login, then open the guide view. If some channels stay empty, refresh the guide from the player settings; in TiviMate that is Settings, EPG, Update EPG. Set the guide to update every day so it never runs out.
Parental controls on Fire TV
Both IPTV Smarters and TiviMate let you set a PIN and hide channel groups. Set it up once on each Fire TV the children use. Fire TV itself also has a parental control option in its settings for purchases and app launches.
Two Fire TV Sticks in one home
Install the same player on both sticks and enter the same login. With a 2 device plan both can play different channels at the same time; with a 1 device plan only one can.
