Everything About Amazon Fire TV Stick

Last updated June 10, 2022 By Patrick

Today I will be discussing how to install TikiLive on FireStick. This article has everything you need to know about the live streaming application, including an overview of the app, its legality, and a thorough installation guide.  

In the words of its developers, TikiLive is “The Cable Alternative.” In other words, installing this application on your FireStick will help you cut the cord. 

TikiLive offers dozens of channels that are free. Moreover, it also has an additional cheap plan that has even more channels to watch. For many, though, the free plan will be more than enough. But if you want to upgrade it, you do have the option.

The categories include sports, cartoons, documentaries, entertainment, and news. You can also watch movies and TV series on it. You can even watch broadcasts of pay-per-view events, but you have to buy them separately. 

Since TikiLive is available only in the US, you’ll need to get a functional VPN like ExpressVPN if you’re outside the US. Otherwise, you won’t be able to stream on it. 

Governments and ISPs constantly monitor your online activity, and accessing copyrighted content on your Fire TV Stick could lead to serious trouble. Currently, your IP is visible to everyone. I strongly recommend getting the best FireStick VPN to mask your IP address and securely stream your favorites.

I personally use ExpressVPN, the fastest and most secure VPN available. Not only is it easy to install on any device, it comes with a risk-free 30-day money-back guarantee. Plus, if you're not 100% satisfied, you can always get a refund. ExpressVPN is currently also offering a whopping 3 extra months free on their annual plan!

Here are reasons why using a VPN at all times is essential.

TikiLive is a safe as well as legal application. It is officially available on the Google Play Store, Apple App Store, Roku Channel Store, Hisense TV, Apple TV, Opera TV, and LG SmartWorld. It also has a feature for Chromecast. 

Although TikiLive is not officially available on the Amazon App Store, there’s always a second way to install it. We will get it on our FireStick by downloading its APK. Some APKs can be malicious and harmful to your firestick device, but I scanned the TikiLive APK through VirusTotal and found it safe to use.

TikiLive offers two account types. The first one is totally free and offers 29 live channels. It doesn’t have an on-demand video lineup. But again, it costs nothing. 

On the contrary, the second plan costs $9.99 per month. Of course, there are additional benefits that come with it. They include six additional channels, making the total 35. The on-demand video lineup will also become available.

Both offers can be combined with addons including Magnolia Selects and Stingray Karaoke for $4.99 and $6.99 per month, respectively. In case you don’t want any addons, you can simply skip them. 

There are also pay-per-view events and videos that can be purchased anytime. 

As I mentioned, you can only stream on TikiLive from within the US. That is, unless you use a VPN app like ExpressVPN. This app lets you artificially relocate yourself to almost anywhere in the world, granting you access to region-restricted apps like TikiLive.

Follow the steps below to get ExpressVPN on your FireStick.

Step 1: Subscribe to ExpressVPN HERE. It comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Meaning, you can use it free for the first 30-days and if you are not satisfied with the performance (which is highly unlikely), you can ask for a full refund.

Step 2: Power ON your Fire TV Stick and go to Find followed by Search option.

Step 3: Now type “Expressvpn” (without quotes) in the search bar and select ExpressVPN when it shows up in the search results.

Step 4: Click Download to install the ExpressVPN app on Fire TV / Stick.

Step 5: Open the app and enter the login credentials that you created while buying the ExpressVPN subscription. Click Sign in.

Step 6: Click the Power icon to connect to a VPN server. That’s all. Your connection is now secure with the fastest and best VPN for FireStick.

The installation process will be divided into two parts. First, we will be tweaking the setting of our FireStick a bit to make it capable of downloading the app. Afterwards, we’ll begin the installation. 

Both processes are short and won’t take much time. Just make sure you have a good internet connection.

Installing a third-party application requires sideloading. This way, the app becomes downloadable on FireStick even though it’s not officially available on the Amazon App Store. 

To install any third-party app on FireStick, the Downloader app is required. It is an official app available on the Amazon App Store and can be downloaded at any time. In addition, you need to change the unknown sources setting to allow your device to download third-party apps.

If you already have Downloader installed and set up, move to the next part. Those who do not have it installed should check out our detailed guide to install Downloader. 

After doing this, go through Part 2 below. 

Here is the complete step-by-step guide to install TikiLive on FireStick.

1. Open Downloader after it has been installed.

2. Click on the search bar near the center of the home screen and enter https://bit.ly/3zixdyP exactly as shown. Then click Go.

Note: FireStickTricks.com is not associated with the hosting or distribution of this APK.

4. Wait a minute for the app to download.

5. After the app is downloaded, Click on INSTALL.

6. After the installation, click OPEN to launch the TikiLive app.

7. When the app launches, you’ll see a beautiful interface. Just log in to start streaming TV channels.

If you plan to use TikiLive more often, I recommend adding it to the home screen. This way, it will be fast and easy to access. 

The process to create a shortcut on the home screen is very easy. Press and hold the home button on your FireStick remote. After a few seconds, a menu will appear. Now select Apps. 

Scroll to TikiLive without selecting it.

Now press the menu  button (three horizontal lines) on your remote. Choose Move and relocate the app to the top row using the directional buttons, as the top row represents the home screen shortcuts. Confirm the new location with the select button. 

That’s it, now you have the TikiLive shortcut on your home screen. If you want to read more in-depth about adding shortcuts to your FireStick home screen, then go through our full guide to creating home screen shortcuts . 

TikiLive is a free live streaming app with loads of channels to choose from. It also has a paid plan available. You can stream TV channels, movies, series, news, cartoons, and much more on TikiLive.

TikiLive can be installed on the following platforms:

Yes. TikiLive is an official app on many app stores, so there is no need to worry about its legality and safety. 

TikiLive is indeed a solid live streaming platform. On top of that, most channels are free and stream in exceptional quality. 

This article was all about how to install TikiLive on FireStick. It’s a great application to install if you want to stream channels for free. TikiLive also has a paid plan with more channels, on-demand content, and other benefits for $9.99 per month. Either way, TikiLive won’t disappoint you.

The installation process is not that long either, so I hope you followed along with ease. Let me know in the comments if you need any help.
