In this guide, I’ll walk you through installing TVZion on your FireStick. This guide’s method also works on the Fire Stick 4K, Fire TV, and Fire TV Cube.
TVZion is now no longer available. Please try some of the other apps on our list of the Best FireStick Apps.
TVZion is a newer on-demand app for Android that allows you to watch free media such as movies and television shows. This app has a straightforward and intuitive user interface. TVZion is completely remote-controlled, making it an excellent choice for your FireStick device. The app has a large content library, providing you with hundreds of hours of free entertainment.
Unlike many other on-demand apps, TVZion allows you to begin streaming immediately. It usually does not show you a list of links from which to choose. Instead, it selects the healthiest link and immediately begins playing the content.
Since the service’s demise, I’ve been on the lookout for the best Terrarium TV alternatives. I’m relieved to have discovered some viable options. TVZion will undoubtedly be added to my list of favorite streaming apps.
TVZion is not only compatible with FireStick, but also with other Android TV devices like Android TV and Android TV Boxes. It’s also compatible with Android smartphones and tablets. You can even install this app on your Windows or Mac computer if you have an Android emulator.
Installation Steps: TVZion on FireStick
Third-party apps, such as TVZion, can be downloaded and installed on the FireStick. However, you must change one security setting in order to do so. Because TVZion does not come from the Amazon Store, it is classified as a “third-party” app.
Here’s what you’ll need to change:
1. Turn on your FireStick or Fire TV device, then go to the top menu bar and select Settings from the home screen.
2. Select My Fire TV or Device from the Settings menu.
3. After that, go to Developer Options.
4. Next, see if Apps from Unknown Sources is enabled (ON) or disabled (OFF) (OFF). If it’s turned off, click it to enable it.
5. When the message “Turn on” appears, go ahead and click it.
This allows you to install third-party apps like TVZion on your FireStick.
I’ll now walk you through the steps to install TVZion on your FireStick. Here’s what you should do:
6. The first step is to download an app that allows you to side-load third-party apps onto your FireStick. Because you can’t download APK files directly from a web browser on the FireStick, you’ll need an app like this.
Downloader is the best sideloading app for FireStick that I have found.
It’s available for download from the Amazon Store. Simply open the FireStick’s Search function from the home screen and search for the Downloader app. You’ll have Downloader in no time if you follow the onscreen instructions.
After you’ve installed the Downloader app, proceed as follows:
7. Launch the Downloader application. On the left sidebar of this app, select the Home tab. Right-click the URL field where the source URL will be entered and select Properties.
8. Now, using your FireStick remote and the onscreen keyboard, type in the following URL.
TVZion is now no longer available. Please try some of the other apps on our list of the Best FireStick Apps.
9. The Downloader app will immediately connect to the server specified in the URL. The app will begin downloading the TVZion APK on FireStick once the connection is established. Allow time for the download to finish.
10. As soon as the APK is downloaded, Downloader begins the installation process by executing the file. The next window you’ll see is as follows.
Install should be selected.
11. Now all you have to do is wait for the installation to complete. It shouldn’t take more than a minute to complete.
12. You will be notified that the TVZion app has been installed on your FireStick with the message “App installed.” The Open button on the bottom right will immediately launch the TVZion app. But that’s something we don’t want to do right now.
After that, click Done.
13. You’ve returned to the Downloader app’s main screen. The following prompt must be seen. Select Delete.
I’d like you to delete the TVZion APK because it will free up some space on your device’s limited storage. It is no longer necessary to use the APK once the app has been installed.
14. Finally, click Delete to remove the TVZion APK from your FireStick.
That’s pretty much all there is to it. You’ve finished installing TVZion on your FireStick.
A Quick Overview: TVZion on FireStick
You now know how to get TVZion installed on your FireStick device. Let’s take a look at it now.
The first thing you should do is launch the application. You might not see the app on your FireStick home screen because you just installed it. Here’s how to get into the app:
For a few seconds, hold down the Home button on your FireStick remote until a new pop-up window appears.
On this new window, select Apps.
You can now see a list of all the apps you’ve installed. The TVZion app can be found at the very bottom of the list.
Let me quickly explain how to move TVZion to the FireStick home-screen before we continue:
- Choose the TVZion app icon from the list.
- On your Amazon FireStick remote, press the Menu button.
- On the bottom right of the screen, a new menu appears.
- Move by clicking the mouse.
- Now drag and drop the icon into one of the top two rows.
- Let’s take a closer look at this app.
This is the pop-up that appears when you launch the TVZion app for the first time. TVZion is ad-free, according to the pop-up, and it encourages you to donate. Click Donate to make a donation. Click OK to go to the TVZion app interface.
Later on, you’ll find the Donate option in the main menu.
The TVZion home screen on the FireStick looks like this. As you can see, there are two tabs for TV and Movies at the top. By default, the TV tab is selected.
On the left are the categories, and on the right are the featured shows in each category. The same can be said about movies. If you’re looking for something specific, use the top right-hand Search option.
The following options appear when you click the menu in the top-left corner. As I previously stated, there is a Donate button right there. There’s also a TVZion home option, as well as a TV & Movies option and a Watch List option.
You’ll see the following options if you go to the Settings option in the menu. Despite the fact that TVZion is a free app, the initial playback time is limited to 500 hours. By selecting the option Add more playback time, you can extend the playback time.
However, I’ve discovered that the Add more playback time option does not work on FireStick. It’s for Android users who have Google Play Store access.
The 500 hours of viewing time allotted at the start is a substantial amount of time. I have the capacity to watch 250 2-hour movies. I have enough time to watch 600 50-minute episodes. I’ll need several months to burn through 500 hours. If your playback time is running out, you can always uninstall and reinstall the app.
You can also donate using Amazon Card or Bitcoins to get more playback hours.
