Today is the day on which a new platform to access streaming content begins to function in Spain and in other countries. This is SkyShowtime and it can already be installed on Smart TV’s, phones, tablets… through the corresponding application that can be downloaded from the Play Store and the App Store.
But it is an equation in which Amazon Fire TVs do not appear, neither in Spain nor in other markets, therefore, since there is an application for Android TV, we can install it on Amazom devices with its APK.
As on other occasions we have talked about the methods to install HBO Max on a Fire TV Stick, now it is time to do the same to solve the absence of the SkyShowtime application on Amazon devices, which on the other hand, happen for being one of the most popular on the market.
Install SkyShowtime on Fire TV
So without further ado, I’m going to count which one It’s the fastest method I’ve tried so far. to install the SkyShowtime app on an Android TV based device where it is not available. For the tests I used a Fire TV Stick 4K Max and best of all, if you read this article with a browser on the Fire TV, you won’t have to copy a single link to get the app up and running.
I like this method better because it is not necessary to use the mobile to send the application or set up the Amazon account with another country. All you have to do is go to the Amazon App Store and download downloader. You have it at this link and it is one of the most interesting applications to have installed on a Fire TV.
The reason for choosing this app is that in a single tool we will have both a browser for the Internet (in the purest Chrome or Firefox style) with which to download files and also, a file explorer or file manager with which to access everything you have downloaded.
Once installed, you just have to give Downloader permission to download and install apps from unknown sources. The first thing is to give developer permissions on the Fire TV and you can do it in “My Fire TV”and in the option “About” we must press seven times in a row where it says Fire TV Stick. Once we have done it, the developer options section will appear in the menu itself. “My Fire TV”.
Now you can go to the tab “Applications” in the menu of the app that you are going to use, in this case “Downloader” and allow the use and installation of apps.
Now you can use Downloader like any other browser and in this case, you just have to go to this APKMirror link from the Downloader browser itself and download the .APK file.
This file I link to works on the Fire TV, and once downloaded, just enter the file explorer that includes Downloader or if you prefer with the one that comes with the Fire TV from the factory. It is a matter of taste. In the folder “Downloads” look for the .APK file that you have downloaded and install it and after finishing, you will already have SkyShowtime on your Fire TV.
You will only have to enter your account or register with SkyShowtime to start watching all the content from your Fire TV.
And if you want to finish polishing the whole process, you can delete is the .APK file that you have downloaded from APK Mirror and that you will no longer need it and thus save space on your Fire TV.
You just have to register on the platform with a username and password and choose the subscription. Remember also, that for a limited time you have an offer in which you will pay half the price of the subscription forever at all times and for life, so that you will pay only 2.99 euros up front.
