In this Blog i will show you Hoe to install GSE Smart IPTV Firestick
GSE Smart IPTV is officially available on Play Store and Apple App Store. However, on Amazon devices, such as your FireStick, it needs to be sideloaded. It is not hosted on the Amazon Store.
Here is how you can do that on your FireStick device:
Before that, you need an IPTV Subscription, and the best service is from Cinetify.com
The first thing we are going to do is install the Downloader app. Downloader is available via Amazon Store
1- Open the Search tool from the FireStick home screen
2- Lookup for the app and install it (just follow the easy online instructions)
3- Now, go to the Settings on your FireStick device
4- Navigate to the menu item called My Fire TV and open it
5- Now, you need to access the menu item Developer Options on the next window
6- On this window, click Install Unknown Apps
7- Go ahead and turn ON the Downloader app
Now that you have allowed the third-party app installation, letβs get GSE Smart IPTV on Amazon FireStick.
8- After Downloader has installed, go ahead and open it
A couple of prompts should appear. You just need to get past them by choosing the appropriate onscreen options
When on the home screen of the Downloader app, click the URL textbox on the right side
9- We now use this onscreen keyboard to enter the following path: https://www.gsesmartiptv.com
OR, simply use the shortened version of this URL gsesmartiptv.com (as you see in the image below)
Check the URL once to make sure you typed it right
Click GO
10- Downloader app will now redirect you to its Browser section where the following webpage will load up
Scroll down a bit and click where it says Download for Amazon devices
11- Downloader connects to the online file location and starts to download the GSE Smart IPTV APK on FireStick
This takes a couple of minutes
12- When the APK file download has completed, you see the following prompt
Go ahead and click Install
13- Allow it a minute to install the GSE IPTV app on FireStick
14- The App installed notification means the GSE Smart IPTV app has installed
Clicking the option OPEN launches the app immediately. But, we are not doing that right now
Letβs go back to the Downloader app and delete the APK file we downloaded. It is a good practice that keeps your limited FireStick storage clean
Click DONE
15- You must see this prompt
Click Delete
16- Confirm by clicking Delete again
Note: You can delete the APK file later also. Just open the Downloader app, click Files in the left menu, select the APK file, and press the 3-line menu button on the FireStick remote
