So the wife has bought a Firestick for our room and the Now Tv stick is in the boy's room

The wife wants Now Tv on the the Amazon Firestick, now officially Amazon wont allow Now Tv on the Firestick so you have to side load it by changing the settings to install 3rd party apps (something ive done any times before)

Now once ive done that and inputted the link and clicked on the Now Tv APK to download, nothing happens, nothing downloads

Have Amazon somehow stopped Now Tv from being downloaded on to a firestick even when you have changed the settings to allow 3rd party apps to be installed?

I 'believe' Amazon won't allow Now TV. I've just signed up for a month of Now TV and have it via the PS4.

Try using the Downloader app to get it.

Have already tried the downloader app with no luck

I can set the firestick to allow downloads from unknown sources, then using downloader i type in the link given on various sites which take me to an APK for Now Tv, click download Now Tv APK and it comes up downloading but nothing ever downloads

Wondering if Amazon have somehow stopped you from downloading APK's from unknown sources to the Firestick

I managed to download the APK from the sites recommended by other ppl (you need to click on the download link- the file is approx 48 meg) but it still didn’t work; kept saying ‘this version is incompatible with your tv’ or something similar.

My conclusion is either a) buy a Roku stick or b) accept defeat.

I’m only subscribing for a short while so going with option b

Cheers for the replies

The wife has now decided to just buy a Now Tv stick, wish she just did that in the first place!

I would still consider the Roku express over the now TV stick, as Roku will allow now TV, plus Amazon, Netflix and a whole lot more.
