Firestick set-up for Iowa viewers
Fire TV sticks are compact and run warm, so keep the vents clear and use the supplied power adapter rather than a TV USB port.
- Go to Settings, then My Fire TV, then Developer Options, and allow apps from unknown sources for Downloader.
- Install Downloader from the Amazon Appstore and open it.
- Enter the app link supplied by your provider, install the IPTV player and open it.
- Sign in with the Xtream or M3U details you receive on WhatsApp, then load the channel list and the programme guide.
- Set the player to hardware decoding and, on a Mediacom or Lumen line, test one live channel before you finish.
