You do not need a subscription, an official app, or a dodgy sideloaded APK to watch IPTV on Firestick, Roku, Apple TV or Smart TVs. VividTV works natively on every major streaming device via the browser, casting, or the free Android app. Here is the complete setup guide for every platform.
Firestick and Fire TV
Firestick is the most popular device for IPTV, and setup takes under 2 minutes.
Method 1: Silk Browser (Easiest)
- From the Firestick home screen, search for “Silk Browser” and install it (free, from Amazon)
- Open Silk Browser
- Type vividtv.live into the address bar
- Browse the channel list and press play
Method 2: VividTV Android App (Best experience)
- Enable Apps from Unknown Sources: Settings > My Fire TV > Developer Options > Apps from Unknown Sources = ON
- Install the Downloader app from the Amazon Appstore
- Open Downloader and enter the VividTV APK URL (available from vividtv.live)
- Install and launch
The app gives you faster channel switching and remote-friendly navigation compared to the browser.
Roku
Roku is the trickiest because it does not support sideloaded apps or a browser. Two workarounds:
Method 1: Screen Mirror from Android
- On Roku: Settings > System > Screen Mirroring > Screen Mirroring Mode = Prompt or Always Allow
- On your Android phone: Settings > Connected Devices > Cast (or “Smart View” on Samsung)
- Pick your Roku
- Open the VividTV app – it mirrors to the Roku
Method 2: AirPlay from iPhone/Mac
Newer Roku devices support AirPlay 2. Open vividtv.live in Safari on your iPhone or Mac, tap the AirPlay icon, pick your Roku. Done.
Apple TV
Apple TV is a joy to set up thanks to AirPlay.
Method 1: AirPlay (Recommended)
- Open vividtv.live in Safari on your iPhone, iPad or Mac
- Tap the AirPlay icon in the video player
- Select your Apple TV
- Watch on the big screen
Method 2: Web Browser App
Apple TV has no built-in browser, but the free “Web Browser for AppleTV” app on the App Store works well. Install it, navigate to vividtv.live, and stream directly.
Samsung Smart TV
Samsung TVs (2018 and newer) have the Samsung Internet browser built in.
- Press the Home button on your remote
- Navigate to Apps > Samsung Internet (or search for it)
- Open the browser and go to vividtv.live
- Play channels directly
If your TV is older or slower, casting from your phone via Smart View is a smoother option.
LG Smart TV
LG TVs run webOS and have the LG Web Browser built in.
- Home > Web Browser
- Enter vividtv.live
- Add to home screen for one-tap access next time
LG’s magic remote works nicely with the VividTV interface. Point-and-click channel selection makes it feel like a proper TV app.
Google TV / Chromecast with Google TV
These are Android-based, so the VividTV Android app installs natively.
- Open the Google Play Store
- Search “VividTV”
- Install and open
Chromecast also supports casting from any Chrome browser. Open vividtv.live on your laptop, click the cast icon, and beam it to your TV.
Android TV Boxes
Any Android box (MiBox, Nvidia Shield, generic Android box) can install the VividTV app from Google Play. This gives the best possible experience: fast channel switching, remote-friendly UI, and no browser overhead.
Kodi (Advanced)
If you use Kodi, VividTV can be added via IPTV Simple Client. This is more technical and only worth it for power users.
