LiveTV and PopcornTime Alternative

Just found out some apps that I didn't know about, so I will share because they work perfect on the Fire TV.
First it's LiveTV from various channels live Fox, Showtime etc. Go to Mobdro.com website and grab the apk. Play around with it most channels are 480p but it's free. Works inside and outside the US.
Second is CartoonHd which is like Showbox or PopcornTime but is limited. Most movies and cartoons here are 720p and 1080p. Download the apk at CartoonHdapk.com
Hope these apps help. If you have more movie or TV apps that you can share please let me know.
If links don't show up, check the url on the screenshots posted.
Both apps work with the stock remote.

Mobdro has been around for a while. Its basically just filmon, but the only good thing about it is that it has all the UK channels that are missing/geoblocked from all the other filmon apps. To get the UK channels on filmon you have to have a subscription to UK TV or satalite service, but mobdro has them for free. They can be found all over the internet too, but its always good to have an app.

Good find! And I was surprised to see it works with the stock remote (takes some getting use to) but I prefer it over needing to use a mouse. Thanks!

Not really similar, but if you're a sports fan, "World Sport Streams" is a great app for streaming HD sports channels. The links are auto updated. I have actually had channels stop and 10 seconds later a new link would be posted, so its a great app. You have to install MX Player and XMTV Player, cause some streams work with MX and some work with XMTV. It says to install MX and OXY players, but I think they stopped using OXY Player for their streams and switched to XMTV Player, but haven't got around to changing what it says on the app. It has a few TV channels too that are not sports related, all the sky movie channels.

Does not work with the fire tv. It shows sideways for me on half the screen

it works. however, currently need a mouse to fullscreen the video, the remote works everywhere else in the app. i have already requested that they fix in a future update, as well as show more titles on the selection screen., more should do the same, since it is new and in active development it will likely get fixed, the more of us that ask should also help.

Been there done that long time ago like iptv stalker add on etc I don't trust those add on and quality sucks. Thera are lots of iptv apps too with live TV and the quality sucks. Those add on kept my shield TV wake all nite so there is something going on may be using my Internet who knows that's why I stay away from those apps or addon. I also installed kodi for that reason

I have had my eye on this http://www.dlink.com.au/home-solutions/dsm-t100-portable-digital-tv-receiver you can plug your wired TV Arial into it just like a tv and apparently has the HD channels and a recording function, (according to description)
i know it has uk channels but not sure about other country's or if it even works with the shield, would be great if it did and linked in with Google's live channels app for android tv like app intends.
here is a youtube review of it (wont let me embed the video for some reason)

Yeah i know, was just saying i had my eye on that USB tuner but didn't know if it worked with other contrys.. as far as I knew it might of been what was looking for

Why not HD homerun? I know its not what you asked for but it works great

After all that all 4 is not working on 1st gen fire stick. App installs fine and all adverts play but the content itself throws out an error and does not play. Any ideas? I'm in the UK so it shouldnt be a geo problem nor do I use a VPN...

All I get is the error message (after all the adverts playing perfectly I might add) is "ALL4-011 - content currently not available". Will reinstall later to see if that helps

I assume there's no way to get these working on Android TV?

Seems itv complains I don't own that app by sideloading while all4 working fine

For ITV just logon onto Amazon full site, and "buy" the app with one click, even though it says your device is not support. Then it should work,

The files seems to be down. Please, can you reshare?

None of the sites you used works for US users anymore, I'm sorry to say. Either deleted, or subject to registration. Any chance of using a free site like Mega? Thanks.

Can you please re-share the apps. They are down.

Anyone else getting the "guide" grayed out in the slingplayer app? Is there any fix to this? Is it just crappy programming on the part of slingbox?

The second link in that quote is the last version released of the "Slingplayer for Fire TV" v3.0.9. The same reviews. That last update is from Jun 28, 2016 with support for FireOS v5.2.1.0. Exactly the same as your link. Even the ASIN # matches.

Thanks. However, I side loaded it and it keeps directing me to the Japanese Fire TV version before I can OK the install. As I dont have a Japanese CC it exits. I will have to think of another work around.

Figured out that if it doesn't "fully support" certain cable boxes it will wither gray out the Guide and/or PVR options. Personally I'd prefer the option to show the Slingbox overlay guide, rather than trying to leverage the devices native guide, which is too slow and sluggish to be usable.

It's SlingMedia being stupid again. I have two Fire Sticks, a 1st Gen and a 2nd Gen, and a Slingbox 350 with great upload. I used to be able to get all the controls on the 2nd Gen, then Sling "did something" and now like others have stated the only controls I now get are "Quality", "Disconnect" and a couple others but nothing you can use to control the SB with.
But the 1st Gen? Works perfectly, all the controls are there, everything works going to the exact same Slingbox 350. I haven't checked to see if there's a difference between the 1st-Gen and 2nd-Gen's app versions, so maybe that's it. But in any case, SlingMedia has always been kind of ****ty when it comes to support so I don't expect this to ever be fixed.

virtualadam1 : Yhea, I got this problem, as my provider is Videotron in Quebec,Canada. I thing the problem is the country you choose for your slingbox as any of the Canadian provider I try didn't give me access to than ''Guide'' and ''DVR'' option. I have a slingbox 500 connect to a Cisco 8642 box with Videotron but to make all the feature work I need to choose US as a country and 33060 as zip code + Comcast as provider. Now everything work perfectly with FIRE TV only. Any other stick or apps will give me the guide from comcast.

Update: Apparently somehow not being able to see all the remote-control buttons in the Slingbox Player for Fire TV app is an issue with only the 2nd-gen Fire TV Stick; if I run the app (same Amazon account, same SP App version) on a 1st-gen Fire TV Box, a 1st-gen Fire TV stick or the new 4K Fire TV dongle, the buttons all show up.
One other thing to note is that on all the Fire devices that the Slingplayer app works fully on, in "Settings->Display->Scale" you can adjust the picture size for overscan, which is something only the 2nd-Gen Fire Stick, the only one without all the SP buttons, can't adjust (it gives a lame message about "Fix your TV's settings instead", which is useless in places like hotels, or TVs w/o aspect ratio controls or where overscan can't be otherwise be adjusted).

can someone repost valid links pls?

Thanks, looking forward to your upload so I can test it out.

Here are the APk's i extracted from my 4k fire tv stick last night.
the only one working on a non amazon device is my5.
all4 and itv hub appear to be wrappers not proper apps - still if someone could get them working for non amazon devices there are loads of people requesting them in various threads( shield, sony tv, philips tv etc .,pretty much all android tv devices would benefit)

OK so I tested out my5 on my shield with amazon appstore installed and logged in, I also then tried to use lucky patcher to remove amazon appstore dependencies and am still greeted with the same screen either way.
http://imgur.com/5VUOevB

Is there a way we could maybe spoof the shield so its seen as an amazon fire TV device in the amazon appstore - then it may actually let us download directly without having to sideload.

I installed the my5 app on my philips android tv, it complained about no amazon app store when i first opened it, so installed amazon underground, then it worked no problem

I have tried this aswel but same thing for me - tells me I don't own it.
When I check amazon underground it says I need to update to the new amazon app store which I previously had installed. I wish there was a way past this - you can see it loading up all in the background and can tell it will work when you can get that message of the screen but just have no idea how

OK so I finally found a way to get this to work, install amazon appstore on any other android device that's not android TV. Install the apps from there - then when you use the apk on shield it will now say you own it and not bother you anymore. Installed my5 and is working perfectly, way better than the side loaded app I was using for all these years (would have been fine if they didn't update so now it doesn't work on android TV anymore). So thank you amazon, last mission is to get all4 from either fire TV or Sony TV somehow and then all apps will be remote friendly. The all4 amazon apps I've found seem to be wrappers and not actual apps...

I've given up trying to get all4 and ITV hub working, now using the ITV hub pluggin via plex which works a treat and removes the ads, so even the mrs likes it better than the itv hub app.
