This tutorial shows how to install Viva TV on Firestick, Fire TV, Android TV/Google TV, and other devices.

How to Install Viva TV APK

While many apps such as this come and go, Viva TV has stood the test of time and continues to provide users with a well rounded entertainment experience. Recently it has been updated to V1.8.1 with many improvements.

It is considered one of the better streaming APKs due to its awesome interface and compatibility with debrid services such as Real-Debrid, Premiumize, and more.

Viva also uses TPlayer as the built in video player and we show you how to install this quickly so you aren’t left out in the dark.

Since Viva TV is not available in official app stores, it must be side-loaded on Android-powered devices like the Amazon Firestick, Fire TV, and Android TV/Google TV devices.

Viva TV Review

Viva TV has been around for years and remains a popular option among cord-cutters. Here’s what you should know before installing.

What We Like

  • Clean interface with featured content displayed prominently
  • Real-Debrid, AllDebrid, and Premiumize integration
  • Trakt support for syncing watch history across devices
  • Developers push regular updates with new link providers
  • Lightweight APK that won’t eat up storage space
  • Content organized into Discover, Movies, TV Shows, and Search categories
  • Subtitle support in multiple languages
  • Featured content section makes it easy to jump into trending titles quickly
  • Works on Firestick, Fire TV, Android TV, Google TV, phones, and tablets
  • Has stood the test of time while many competing APKs have disappeared

What We Don’t Like

  • Legal status of scraped content is questionable and unverified
  • VirusTotal flagged one suspicious file in the APK
  • Requires TPlayer installation to stream content
  • Contains ads on home screen and after video playback
  • External player options are limited
  • Not available on Google Play, Amazon App Store, or Apple devices
  • Free links without a debrid service are often low quality with frequent buffering

Is Viva TV Legal?

It’s impossible for TROYPOINT to determine whether these unverified apps like ‘Viva TV’ hold the proper licensing.

TROYPOINT recommends only accessing media not protected by copyright such as those that fall under Public Domain status.

The end-user is responsible for all content accessed through unverified apps. For verified options, see our list of legal streaming apps.

Is This App Safe to Install?

It is extremely important to check these “unofficial” applications for malware/viruses before using them and the best way to do this is with VirusTotal.

Pictured below is a screenshot of the APK file from APKTime.

Viva TV VirusTotal Scan

VirusTotal did find one suspicious file with viruses/malware within the Viva TV APK file. We should always protect ourselves with a VPN when streaming content from unverified streaming platforms.

Final Thoughts from Troy

Viva TV is still one of the best options when it comes to streaming free media entertainment. The developers are continually adding updates and improvements which is why it has stayed relevant for so long.

If you are looking for something with a great user interface that still works well, give it a try!
