FireVision TV is an IPTV streaming solution designed for Fire TV devices and Android-based set-top boxes. It delivers live channels, on-demand content, and catch-up TV through a clean, native interface — without the sluggishness that plagues most generic IPTV players.

What is FireVision TV?
FireVision TV is a purpose-built IPTV client developed by Cadnative. Unlike web-based or cross-compiled players, it's written natively for Fire OS — which means smoother playback, faster channel switching, and proper integration with Alexa voice control.
Key capabilities:
- Live TV — thousands of channels across sports, news, entertainment, and regional content
- VOD library — movies and series available on-demand with resumable playback
- Catch-up TV — watch programmes you missed, up to 7 days back
- EPG (Electronic Programme Guide) — full 7-day grid with programme details
- Multi-screen — stream on up to 4 devices simultaneously on a single subscription
Why native matters for Fire TV
Most IPTV apps ship a single React Native or Flutter bundle and call it done. The result is frame drops during fast channel zaps, input lag on the d-pad, and memory pressure that causes the Fire TV to throttle after 20 minutes.
FireVision TV is built in Kotlin against the Fire TV SDK directly:
- ExoPlayer handles HLS/DASH/RTMP with hardware-accelerated decoding
- Leanback library powers the d-pad-first UI navigation
- Alexa integration lets users say "tune to Sky Sports" or "play Succession" without touching the remote
The result: channel changes in under 1 second, and stable 4K HDR playback on Fire TV Stick 4K Max.
Setting up FireVision TV
Getting started takes under two minutes:
- Install — download the latest APK from the FireVision TV releases page and sideload it via ADB, or search "FireVision TV" on the Amazon Appstore.
- Activate — open the app, note your device code, and enter it at tv.cadnative.com with your subscription credentials.
- Load your playlist — paste your M3U URL or Xtream Codes API details in Settings → Playlist.
- Done — channels populate automatically. The EPG syncs in the background.
# Sideload via ADB (developer mode must be enabled on the Fire TV)
adb connect <fire-tv-ip>:5555
adb install firevision-tv.apk
EPG and channel management
The built-in EPG pulls data from XMLTV sources. You can configure your own source or use the default one bundled with your subscription:
- Settings → EPG Source → paste your XMLTV URL
- EPG refreshes every 12 hours automatically
- Map channels to EPG entries manually if the auto-match doesn't align
The channel list supports grouping by category (Sports, Movies, News), and you can create a Favourites row that appears at the top of the home screen for one-click access.
Parental controls
FireVision TV supports PIN-based content locking:
- Lock individual channels or entire categories
- Set a PIN in Settings → Parental Controls
- The PIN is required before any locked content plays
This is stored locally on the device — no account-level parental data is sent to our servers.
Troubleshooting common issues
| Issue | Fix |
|---|---|
| Buffering on live TV | Switch stream quality to Auto or reduce to 720p in Settings → Playback |
| EPG not loading | Check your XMLTV URL is accessible; try a manual refresh in Settings → EPG |
| Black screen on channel switch | Force-stop the app and clear cache (Fire TV Settings → Manage Installed Apps) |
| App not installing | Enable Apps from Unknown Sources in Fire TV Developer Options for sideloads |
