This tutorial shows how to install Viva TV on Firestick, Fire TV, Android TV/Google TV, and other devices.
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.
In this guide, we are installing the Viva TV app on an Amazon Firestick 4K Max, but these instructions also work on Android TV/Google TV devices.
Note: This app does NOT work on the Fire TV Stick Select model. This device does not run on Android OS and instead uses “Vega OS” which is Amazon’s in house platform.

After installing Viva TV on your Firestick or Android TV device, you can integrate premium services to improve your streaming experience.
As mentioned earlier, Viva TV has the ability to add debrid services like Real-Debrid, Premiumize, or AllDebrid for more streaming links. Real-Debrid is an unrestricted downloader that adds high-quality streaming options.

Viva TV offers a unique interface with a few differences from other streaming APKs. Categories include Discover, Movies, TV Shows, Watchlist, Search, and Settings.
Movies can be sorted by Trending, Top Rated, Upcoming, and Now Playing, and more.
TV Shows can also be sorted by Trending, Top Rated, Popular, and more.
The Settings within Viva TV provide options for subtitles, video player selection, debrid services, watch history, and more.
Viva TV has been around for years and remains a popular option among cord-cutters. Here’s what you should know before installing.
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.
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.
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.
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!
