Update Live Net TV directly from the app
Live Net TV updates itself automatically on Firestick if you have automatic updates turned on in the Amazon Appstore. Open the Appstore, go to your library or search for Live Net TV, and if an update is waiting, you will see an "Update" button instead of "Open". Tap it and the app will read and install the new version.
If you do not see an update button, the app is already on the latest version. Automatic updates can take a few days to roll out to all devices, so if you want the newest version right away, you can force the update manually through the Appstore rather than waiting.
Key Takeaways
- Live Net TV updates automatically through the Amazon Appstore if you have automatic updates enabled in your Firestick settings.
- You can manually update the app by opening the Appstore, finding Live Net TV in your library, and tapping the "Update" button if one appears.
- Restarting your Firestick after an update can resolve playback issues or freezing that sometimes occur after the app refreshes.
- If Live Net TV crashes or will not open after an update, uninstalling and reinstalling the app from the Appstore often fixes the problem.
Turn on automatic updates in the Appstore
Automatic updates save you the step of checking for updates manually. On your Firestick home screen, open the Appstore, select the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the top left, and go to Settings. Look for "Automatic Updates" and toggle it on. This setting applies to all apps on your device, not just Live Net TV.
With automatic updates on, Live Net TV will read and install new versions in the background, usually overnight or when your Firestick is idle. You may not notice the update happening, which is the point — the app stays current without interrupting what you are watching.
Restart your Firestick after updating
After Live Net TV updates, restart your Firestick to clear the cache and make sure the new version runs smoothly. Unplug the device from power for 30 seconds, then plug it back in. Wait for the home screen to load fully before opening Live Net TV again.
Restarting is especially useful if the app freezes, loads slowly, or crashes after an update. A fresh start gives the new version a clean environment to run in and often fixes small glitches that happen during the installation process.
Uninstall and reinstall if the app will not open
If Live Net TV crashes or refuses to open after an update, uninstalling and reinstalling it usually solves the problem. Go to Settings on your Firestick home screen, select Applications, then Manage Installed Applications. Find Live Net TV, select it, and choose Uninstall. Confirm the removal.
Once it is uninstalled, go back to the Appstore, search for Live Net TV, and select Install. The app will read the current version fresh. This process clears out any corrupted files from the update and gives you a clean copy of the app to work with.
Check your internet connection
A slow or unstable internet connection can interrupt app updates or cause the new version to install incompletely. Before updating, make sure your Firestick is connected to a strong Wi-Fi signal. If you are far from your router, move closer or restart your router to refresh the connection.
You can test your connection speed by going to Settings on your Firestick, selecting Network, and running a connection test. A speed of at least 5 Mbps is usually enough for streaming apps to update and run without trouble. If your speed is lower, try moving your Firestick closer to the router or reducing the number of devices using your Wi-Fi at the same time.
Clear the app cache if Live Net TV is slow after updating
Sometimes an update leaves cached data that slows down the app. Clear the cache by going to Settings on your Firestick, selecting Applications, then Manage Installed Applications. Find Live Net TV, select it, and choose Clear Cache. This removes temporary files without deleting your settings or login information.
After clearing the cache, open Live Net TV again. The app may take a few seconds longer to load the first time as it rebuilds its cache, but it should run faster afterward. If slowness continues, try clearing the cache a second time or reinstalling the app entirely.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is Live Net TV not updating even though I have automatic updates on?
Amazon rolls out updates gradually, so your device may not receive the latest version for several days after it is released. If you want the newest version right away, open the Appstore, find Live Net TV in your library, and tap Update manually. If no update button appears, you already have the latest version.
Will updating Live Net TV delete my saved channels or login?
No. Updates only refresh the app code and do not touch your settings, saved channels, or login information. Your preferences stay the same after the update completes. If you uninstall and reinstall the app, you may need to log in again, but your account will still work.
Can I use Live Net TV while it is updating?
No. The app closes during the update process and will not open until the installation finishes. Updates usually take two to five minutes depending on your internet speed. Once the update is done, you can open the app normally.
What should I do if Live Net TV keeps crashing after every update?
Uninstall the app completely, restart your Firestick, and then reinstall Live Net TV from the Appstore. If crashes continue, check that your Firestick software itself is up to date by going to Settings, then System, then About. If a system update is waiting, install it before trying Live Net TV again.
