If everything looks good, you'll see the Fire TV Stick home screen appear on your television. Now, give your Fire TV Stick some time to initialize. It may make updates, so a little patience is always good. Once the home screen appears, you are ready to go to the next step.

Now that your Fire TV Stick is connected, it's time to find an app that lets you watch broadcast TV. See how simple it is:

  • Access the “Apps” option in the main menu on your home screen;
  • Click on “App Store”. Here, a multitude of streaming applications will be at your disposal.

It is essential to choose an application that offers good quality when broadcasting open channels. Image and sound quality can vary greatly from one application to another, so it's worth researching and choosing carefully. 

Remember that the experience when watching TV will be much better if the application works well and is compatible with Amazon's Fire Stick. So, take your time, explore the available options and get ready to select the ideal application for you to enjoy free programming on your TV.

Search for an open TV app

With your Fire TV Stick set up and the app store open, use the search function to find apps that offer access to live channels. Enter terms such as “live TV” or “open TV”, or even the name of a specific channel that interests you.

You will find a variety of options, from apps for specific stations to apps that bring together several channels in one place. An effective strategy is to make a list of your favorite channels and see if they offer their own apps. This will make it easier for you to directly access the content that you like most.

Consider trying the “Pluto TV“, a free service that offers a wide range of channels, including live broadcasts. Another excellent option is the application of a broadcaster of your choice, such as “Globo Play“, which offers not only series and films, but also live programming for its subscribers.

Install the chosen application

After finding the ideal application, it's time to install it. With the application selected in the store, just click “Install”. You will have to wait a little while for it to download and install on your device. It's very practical!

While the application is being installed, you can take the opportunity to take a look at your internet settings – this way you can ensure that everything is working perfectly when you start enjoying your favorite programs.

Once the app is installed, it will appear in the “Your Apps and Games” section on the Fire TV Stick home screen. This means you are just a few clicks away from enjoying live TV channels.

Use the Fire TV Stick andstop open TV channels

Now that you've installed the application, it's simple to start watching open TV channels. First, go to “Apps” on your Fire TV Stick’s home screen. Search for and select the app you have installed.

When you open the app, it may ask you to register or log in. This is normal, especially in free services or those that have extra options for those who pay. Just follow what is written on the screen to get everything ready to use.

Remember: to watch live TV, you need a good internet connection. If the internet is slow or failing, you may experience problems with image and sound quality. To avoid this, check if your internet is working well and if Wi-Fi is connected correctly on the Fire TV Stick.
