- An Amazon Fire TV Stick or Fire TV device
- A television with a free HDMI port

Step-by-step
- 1
Connect Fire TV Stick and switch it on
Plug the stick into the TV's HDMI port, connect the power supply and turn both on. Select the correct HDMI input with the TV remote: you should see the Fire TV welcome screen.
- 2
Complete the initial setup
Connect your Fire TV Stick to the internet. You can use your router's Wi-Fi, or plug in a USB Ethernet adapter and use a network cable, which is more stable and recommended for streaming. Follow the on-screen instructions to the home screen.
Accept the system update if offered: newer versions work better with players.
- 3
Open the Appstore
From the home screen select the second icon, the Appstore. On some versions it is called «Appstore” or «Amazon Appstore” and has the shopping cart icon.
- 4
Search for Facile TV
Type the exact player name into the search bar and select it from the results. Check the developer first, then tap «Get” or «Install”.
Search the exact name and check the developer before installing. - 5
Open the app and enter your details
Launch Facile TV and fill in the fields with the details from your email: host tv8live.com, username and password. Some versions of the player ask only for username and password and work out the host themselves.
- 6
Sign in and start watching
Press the login button and wait for the list to load. Pick a channel and watch. The first time you start a channel the device downloads the data it needs, so give it a few seconds.
After signing in, the channel list appears on the home screen. - 7
Stop the app from closing automatically
Fire TV closes unused apps to free memory. Open Settings › Applications › Manage Installed Applications, select Facile TV and enable the options that prevent automatic closing. The exact names vary between Fire OS versions.
Alternatively, configure the app to autostart.
If something goes wrong
Before reinstalling anything, work through this table. Problems are listed from most to least common, and the cause is almost always a typo or the connection rather than your account.
| Problem | Likely cause | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| The app is not in the Appstore | Not available for your device | Do not download external APKs: use Televizo or the online player. |
| The app closes by itself | Fire OS frees memory in the background | Settings › Applications › disable automatic closing for Facile TV. |
| Login rejected | Access details typed incorrectly | Re-copy the three details from your activation email without extra spaces. |
| Slow streaming | Weak Wi-Fi or 2.4 GHz only | Use a USB Ethernet adapter, or move the router closer to the television. |
| «Unable to decode» | Codec not supported by the device | Update Fire OS; if it persists, try a better-optimised player. |
| No electronic guide | EPG not available for the channel | That is normal. Reload the channel list. |
| The stick will not switch on | Wrong power supply or HDMI port | Try a different HDMI port and a different wall socket. |
FAQ
What is Facile TV and which devices does it work on?
Facile TV is a free IPTV player built for Amazon Fire TV Stick and Fire TV, and more generally for Android TV devices. You install it from the device's own Appstore, with no computer needed. It is third-party software and is not affiliated with TV8Live.
Why does Facile TV keep closing on its own?
On some recent models, Fire OS frees memory in the background and closes unused apps. To prevent this, open the device settings and look for the option to disable automatic app cleanup.
Does it work on a Samsung TV?
No, unless the TV runs Android TV. If yours runs Tizen, use Smart IPTV or SS IPTV. If it runs Android TV, the Televizo guide is a great alternative.
How do I connect Fire TV Stick to the internet?
Three ways: Wi-Fi, an Ethernet cable through a USB adapter, or using a second router's Wi-Fi repeater. For high-quality streaming, the cable is better.
