How to Set Up BeeTV on Amazon FireStick & Fire TV
Amazon Fire TV devices (FireStick 4K, FireStick Lite, Fire TV Cube, and smart TVs running Fire OS) run a modified version of Android. Because the Amazon Appstore does not list BeeTV, you can easily install it using the free Downloader app by AFTVnews.
Supported Fire TV Devices
- Amazon Fire TV Stick (2nd, 3rd Gen)
- Amazon Fire TV Stick Lite
- Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K & 4K Max
- Amazon Fire TV Cube (all generations)
- Smart TVs with built-in Fire TV edition (Insignia, Toshiba, Pioneer)
Step 1: Install the Downloader App
- From your Fire TV Home screen, select Find > Search.
- Type Downloader and select it from the search results.
- Select the orange Downloader icon and click Download / Get.
- Wait for the app to install, but do not open it yet.
Step 2: Enable Developer Options on Fire OS
On newer Fire OS updates (Fire OS 7 and 8), Amazon hides the Developer Options menu by default. Here is how to unlock it:
- Go to Settings (gear icon) > My Fire TV > About.
- Highlight the name of your Fire TV (e.g., Fire TV Stick 4K) and click the remote’s center button 7 times rapidly.
- A notification will appear at the bottom saying: “No need, you are already a developer.”
- Press Back once. You will now see Developer options listed under My Fire TV.
- Click Developer options > Install unknown apps (or Apps from Unknown Sources).
- Find Downloader in the list and switch it to ON.
Step 3: Download & Install BeeTV via Downloader
- Launch the Downloader app from your Apps list. Allow storage access when prompted.
- Click the URL input box on the Home tab.
- Enter the verified download URL for the BeeTV APK.
- Click Go. Downloader will connect to the server and download the ~18.4 MB APK.
- Once downloaded, an installation prompt will appear automatically. Click Install.
- After installation completes, click Done. Downloader will offer to delete the APK file—click Delete to save precious Fire TV storage.
