This question has been asked before but I will answer your question anyway, next time try Google, YouTube or the search bar on Xda before posting though oks.
Not via an app (apk) you cannot, but there is a few vpn add ons In kodi (Google vpn kodi add ons) which if you have a vaild vpn account you can add/sign in to it & use it that way. Not sure if this is what your looking for but at the moment that's the only way I know of using a vpn app (apk)?
Only other way I know which works is to mirror/cast your phone to your fire stick, use a vpn app (apk) on there, turn it on & then open the kodi app (apk) up on your phone (not fire stick) & watch it being mirrored/casted to your tv. A bit of a long winded solution but if your that desperate to access American addons/content on your tv it does work this way, I just pick another addon but each to there own.
If this helped you press that thanks button

I disagree as I installed the Private Internet Access APK and am able to connect to all of their various VPN servers without any issue.

I agree, users here can and should load alternative firmware like tomato & dd-wrt to setup a VPN connection that all devices on your home network can utilize.

I live in Brasil, and my 1-click settings at the amazon.com site is using a Brasilian international credit card, so as my brasilian address.
Since i am using my real information, i can't manage to use the Amazons app store at my Kindle fire and on my Xperia Arc.
I've already tried the whole thing if creating a new account, with fake data fetched from fakenamegenerator.com but it does not worked aswell.
Is there any way i can "crack" my appstore app so that it does not check for amazon.com feedback about my account country, or is this impossible ?
I really want to start using the app store from Brasil, let me know if there is anything i can do.
Thanks !

Why don't you try Google Play Store? That way it's easy to manage your apps in both devices.

I do use the play store but:
1. Not all the apps are tagged as compatible to my Kindle fire, forcing me to download the APK from the market and push it into the kindle manually
2. Amazon appstore have some free apps daily or weekly, which the play store does not have.
Are you rooted?
I know you can modify your build.prop to mask as another device to improve app compatibility. I've read that most apps that are said to be incompatible are not.

Yes i am rooted, and changing the build.prop file properties, sometimes help, sometimes dont.
But this is not the thread's question.
I would like to access the amazon app store, from Brasil.
1. Yes, i've tried proxies
2. Yes, i've tried fakenamegenerator.com
Edit: This is a new method, but it also failed to work for me :
http://spimitech.com/guides/access-amazon-apps-market-from-outside-the-us/
I've set the new card, billing adress using a hotel on international drive, and set the new payment method as 1-click.
App still saying that i don't have a US billing Address or Credit Card
None of those worked for me
Is there a recommended DNS Changer APK for the firetv.? I wanted to change to a custom DNS to play the bbc player and then revert back? Any suggestions for the apk?
smartdns services is the answer

Thanks for the reply. I tried to change the dns on my router to the US dns servers but the bbc app didn't work.
Any idea what does it take? Is it required to get a paid dns account like iconotv?
I tested UNOTelly and it worked well, however the bbc app was on constant buffer. I couldn't find the live feed and honestly the app was not very impressive. At the moment, I don't see a need to spend a monthly fee for bypassing. Are there other apps that may be useful being in the US?
I have also tried unotelly with no issues. That way you can switch regions without switching dns servers
I just side-loaded the newest Hulu Plus APK to my ATV. It was downloaded from Google Play.
It starts, but it can't be controlled with the fire tv remote control. Using a USB keyboard is okay, but it's annoying.
So, is there a difference between the Hulu Plus versions released on Google Play and via Amazon app store?
If yes, can someone please make an APK of the Amazon app store version and upload it here?
I am from Germany, as Hulu is not officially supported here I am not able to download it from Amazon by myself.
Thanks in advance!
No one here with a rooted AFTV who can drop me a backup APK of the Hulu Plus app? Would be really appreciated!

Just follow this guide to get access to all the Amazon apps... http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-install-geographically-restricted-apps-from-amazon/
I have found that best way to control all the sideloaded streaming apps which I've installed is a mouse & the FireTV Remote. I use the Mouse to point & click what I want to stream within the apps & the only way to go back within the streaming apps is the back button on the FireTV Remote. Although it can be a pain to input a long complicated passwords without a keyboard. It's not as important as a mouse for streaming apps.. And you can probably use the AFTV Remote app's phone keyboard to help with that.
The link to install FireTV's Hulu Plus is already in the FTV. Just need to mod your account temporarily to be able to install it.
Thanks, but the guide doesn't seem to work anymore. I think Amazon has changed something. I can change my account to Amazon US, I can see the App in the store (when I am connected via VPN) but when I select buy, it just says that I am geo-blocked
I hate those damn geo-restrictions. Google Play isn't that hard to overcome the restrictions, but with Amazon I found no way yet, grmbl.

Odd... Last week I was able to get some BBC UK apps just fine. I did not change to a UK IP either.. Just used the one I use here. Try changing the VPN's IP address or don't use the VPN at all.. Or try just using a trial of a DNS service. Will try to get you the Hulu APK... But I wold not give it in trying to get the guide to work. Change the US Name & Address again..
Thanks for the suggestions, but nothing works.
I now tried nearly every possible combination. With and without VPN (without, it won't show me the Hulu app). I even put some money on my Amazon account via gift-card. This way I could sort out that it's no problem with my german credit card, even if the the app is free.
But no luck at all.. So, I'd be really nice if someone could just send me the app so I can sideload it. Unfortunately, I don't know no other way

Here you go... Let me know how it goes..
Thank you, sir! Awesome!
After installing it, it gives me an error that my user account hasn't bought this app
Why, oh, why is Amazon so restrictive?? Grmbl.. But it was worth a try.
For the time being I think I have stick to the Android app from the Play store and use an USB-Mouse. Not very convenient, but at least it works..

Try doing the change to US Amazon & then try installing the APK I uploaded see if that helps.. Also what Country/Language have you had it setup under.. Change it to US too just to try it out.. Also make sure you have enable the installation from Unknown Sources in Settings/System/Developers .
Changing back to US account and re-installing the app did not help, but I finally got it to work. Was a long way..
First, I connected to US VPN and created a new Amazon account at amazon.com. I then logged of my german account on my AFTV and logged in via the newly created account.
I bought the Hulu app then and installed it on the AFTV. I was then able to start it up and login. Afterwards, I logged the US amazon acc off and logged in once again with my "normal" german account.. And voila, it works.
Conclusion: It seems the app stores something in the data installed on the AFTV rather than on your amazon account. Interesting to know, maybe it helps others, too.
Just like the title says, I see a lot of people around these forums that say they've setup live TV. It sounds pretty easy, but I'm just confused how I could get it working.
Since I'm running my fire TV through my TV, do I have to run a coaxial to the fire TV or what? Lol.

I have setup live TV through Xbmc if this is what you mean? If so see below. Had to edit this post as i assumed this is what you meant. If not it will be of no use to you.
You'll need to enable live TV under system settings. When this is done you will have to choose a PVR client from a list provided. Choose Simple PVR Client. Then go into settings for this addon (under configure)and enter the URL which I will PM you (not sure if public posting is allowed). Untick box which says "cache m3u at local storage" and save settings and restart. You should now have live TV on Xbmc.

for all those looking for the pvr tv URL, there are many people out there who have their own lists. for instance you can google bbtsip but since its a free service dont expect much.

To anyone who has PM'd me regarding live TV url - the initial link I sent you all is now down but was definitely working. I have sent a new link which i have tested a few minutes ago. I have resent the new link to most of you hopefully. If not let me know.

I was using m3u lists which ranged from poor to fairly consistent but eventually they stopped working for me. I'd be interested to see what you're using if you could pm me please.
Another alternative is xfinity tv app has live tv with excellent quality if you have a username & password. I created a shortcut in xbmc. Needs a mouse but my ouya works fine for that. The only thing I'm lacking is my local stations for news. Has anyone been able to get local affiliates? I think there's a way.

Please PM me as well. Thanks.
I am the latest FireTV 5.0.5 version installed on my second generation FireTV. However, when I sideload Kodi, it does not appear under the apps section. I have 3 FireTV's in the house, and they all have the same issue. Recently helped a friend to setup his FireTV, which is registered under amazon.co.uk, and as I sideloaded the Kodi app, it appeared under apps section. My FireTV are registered under amazon.com
I uninstalled and reinstalled Kodi, but no difference.
Am I missing something? Please advise.

Have you tried using Firestarter (a launcher app) & see if it is in there?
Or try ending the app by FTP using ES File explorer on your phone to ES File explorer on your Fire device & then install from there?

Have you downloaded Kodi app from Amazon store when it was available? If so go in your Amazon account and delete Kodi app then go to Firetv2 settings an re-sync.

Thank you! This worked like a charm!
Now the Kodi icon is under the apps section, and that is all I wanted.
Case solved!
To ask a dumb question.. You mean to delete the app from inside my amazon web account.. Then resync the AFTV in setting in the box ?? this will bring it back to my apps in the amazon home screen (and after use recents) ??
And this option is available in the AFTV1 ??
I dont want to delete the app in my amazon account and then lose the option later if this is something that appears after the 5.0.5 update (I cant get that yet it seems).

That is exactly what I meant however this is valid for FireTv2 only, app will appear in app section of your firetv main screen but will not appear in home "recently used" screen.
Ahh... any equivalent trick for AFTV1 ??
Or will it work after update to new FW ??
