How to Install PiqoTV IPTV Player on Firestick & Android TV (2026)

What Is PiqoTV?

PiqoTV is a paid IPTV player designed from the ground up for large-screen Android TV and Fire TV devices. Unlike older IPTV apps that port a mobile interface onto a TV screen, PiqoTV was built with a television-first mindset. The result is a card-based browsing experience that feels native to the platform — similar to how Netflix or Disney+ organize their content, but for live IPTV channels and VOD libraries.

The app supports both M3U playlist imports and Xtream Codes API connections, which are the two most common formats used by IPTV providers like TVNado. Xtream Codes is the preferred method because it automatically loads your live channel lineup, VOD movies, and TV series as separate organized sections within the app.

At roughly $2.99 as a one-time purchase (pricing may vary), PiqoTV offers excellent value for users who find free apps like Wiseplay or IPTV Smarters too basic in their interface design. It is not a subscription — you pay once and keep the app permanently.

Installing PiqoTV on Android TV

If your device runs Android TV or Google TV (Sony Bravia, TCL, Hisense, Chromecast with Google TV), install PiqoTV directly from the Google Play Store:

1. Open the Google Play Store from your Home screen or app drawer.
2. Search for PiqoTV in the search bar.
3. Select the PiqoTV app from the search results.
4. Tap Buy (approximately $2.99) and complete the purchase with your Google account.
5. After installation, open PiqoTV from your app list.

The entire installation process takes about two minutes. If you have a Google account with payment already on file, the process is seamless.

Installing PiqoTV on Amazon Firestick

PiqoTV is not listed in the Amazon App Store, so Firestick users must sideload the APK:

1. Navigate to Settings > My Fire TV > Developer Options.
2. Enable Install Unknown Apps and toggle it on for Downloader.
3. Search for and install the Downloader app from the Amazon App Store if you do not already have it.
4. Open Downloader, enter the PiqoTV APK download URL from the official PiqoTV website or app store mirror.
5. Download the APK and tap Install when prompted.
6. Once installed, delete the APK file from within Downloader to free up space.

PiqoTV runs smoothly on Firestick 4K, Firestick 4K Max, and Firestick Lite. On older Firestick HD models, performance is still acceptable for 1080p streams.

Connecting TVNado to PiqoTV

Once PiqoTV is installed, add your TVNado subscription using Xtream Codes for the best experience:

1. Open PiqoTV and select Add Playlist from the main screen.
2. Choose Xtream Codes as the playlist type.
3. Enter your TVNado Server URL (from your welcome email), your Username, and your Password.
4. Tap Connect. PiqoTV will load your channels, VOD movies, and TV series into separate organized sections.
5. Browse to Live TV to find your 50,000+ channels organized by category: US Sports, US Entertainment, International, News, and more.

If you prefer M3U, select M3U Playlist instead of Xtream Codes and paste your TVNado M3U URL. Note that M3U imports only load live channels — VOD requires Xtream Codes.
