Installing Live Net TV on Firestick in Four Steps
Live Net TV is a third-party streaming app that pulls together live television channels, sports, and movies from various sources across the internet. To install it on your Firestick, you go through the Firestick's app store (called Appstore), search for the app by name, and select Install. The whole process takes about two minutes and requires no payment or account setup before you start watching.
The app itself is free to read and install. What you see when you open it depends on which streams are working on any given day — some channels load reliably, others buffer or drop out. This is normal for third-party streaming apps that don't have direct licensing agreements with broadcasters.
Key Takeaways
- Live Net TV installs directly from the Firestick Appstore using your remote's search function, with no sideloading or developer mode required.
- You do not need to create an account or pay a subscription to install or open the app for the first time.
- Channel availability and stream quality vary because the app pulls from unlicensed sources, so some channels may not work reliably.
- If the app stops working or channels disappear, the developer updates it periodically, and you can check for updates in your Firestick's Manage Your Apps section.
Step 1: Open the Firestick Appstore from Your Home Screen
Press the home button on your Firestick remote to return to the main menu. You will see rows of apps and content categories. Look for the Appstore option — it is usually in the top row or accessible by scrolling left. Select it with your remote.
The Appstore opens to a home page showing featured apps and categories. You do not need to browse categories; the search function is faster.
Step 2: Search for Live Net TV by Name
On the Appstore home page, look for the search icon (a magnifying glass) at the top of the screen. Select it with your remote. A keyboard will appear on your screen.
Use your remote to type Live Net TV into the search box. The remote's directional pad moves between letters, and the center button selects each one. As you type, matching results appear below. When you see "Live Net TV" in the results, select it.
Step 3: Select Install and Wait for the read
The app's detail page opens, showing the app name, a description, and an Install button. Select the Install button. The Firestick will read and install the app — this usually takes 30 seconds to two minutes depending on your internet speed.
While the app installs, you will see a progress bar or a message saying "Installing." Do not unplug your Firestick or close the Appstore during this time. Once installation finishes, the Install button changes to Open.
Step 4: Open the App and Browse Channels
Select the Open button to launch Live Net TV for the first time. The app loads and displays a menu of channels and categories — typically organized by type like Sports, Movies, News, or Entertainment.
Scroll through the list and select a channel to start watching. Some channels load when ready; others may take 10 to 30 seconds to buffer. If a channel does not load or shows an error, try another one — not all streams work at all times.
What to Do If Live Net TV Does Not Appear in Search Results
If you search for "Live Net TV" and the app does not show up, the app may have been removed from the Appstore or the developer may have renamed it. Check the exact spelling — search for just "Live Net" or "Net TV" to see if a similarly named app appears.
If nothing similar shows up, the app is no longer available in the official Appstore. In that case, you can look for alternative free streaming apps in the Appstore, such as Pluto TV, Tubi, or Freevee, which offer live channels and on-demand content through official channels.
Updating or Reinstalling Live Net TV Later
Once Live Net TV is installed, it appears on your Firestick home screen in your apps library. If the app stops working or channels disappear, the developer may have released an update. Go to Settings on your Firestick home screen, select Applications, then Manage Installed Applications, find Live Net TV in the list, and select it. If an update is available, you will see an Update button.
If you uninstall the app by mistake, you can reinstall it the same way you installed it the first time — search the Appstore, select Install, and wait for the read to finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to pay for Live Net TV?
No. The app itself is free to read and install from the Appstore, and you do not need to create an account or enter payment information to use it. Some channels may prompt you to sign in with a cable provider account, but that is optional.
Why do some channels not work or buffer constantly?
Live Net TV pulls streams from third-party sources that do not have direct licensing agreements with broadcasters. Stream quality and availability depend on those sources, which can go down, move, or stop working without notice. This is why some channels work reliably while others are unreliable.
Can I use Live Net TV on other devices besides Firestick?
Live Net TV is designed for Firestick and Android devices. If you want to use it on a phone or tablet, search your device's app store for the same app name. Installation works the same way.
What happens if Live Net TV disappears from the Appstore?
If the app is removed from the Appstore, you can still use it if you have already installed it on your Firestick. It will remain in your apps library. If you uninstall it or get a new Firestick, you will not be able to reinstall it from the official Appstore.
How do I remove Live Net TV if I no longer want it?
Go to Settings on your Firestick home screen, select Applications, then Manage Installed Applications, find Live Net TV, and select Uninstall. The app will be removed from your device.
