Step 1 — Enable Apps from Unknown Sources
To install IPTV Smarters Pro (which isn't on the Amazon App Store), you first need to allow installation from unknown sources. This is straightforward:
1
Go to Settings
From your FireStick home screen, navigate to the top menu and select Settings (the gear icon on the right).
2
Open My Fire TV → Developer Options
Scroll right and select My Fire TV. Then tap Developer Options. If you don't see Developer Options, click the Fire TV serial number 7 times to unlock it first.
3
Enable Unknown Sources & ADB Debugging
Toggle Apps from Unknown Sources to ON. Also enable ADB Debugging. A warning will appear — tap Turn On to confirm.
⚠️
Security Note
Only enable Unknown Sources when installing trusted applications. We recommend re-disabling it after installation for security. IPTV Smarters Pro is a safe, legitimate application used by millions of IPTV customers worldwide.
Step 2 — Install the Downloader App
Downloader is a free, trusted app for downloading and sideloading APK files onto your FireStick. It's available directly from the Amazon App Store:
1
Search for Downloader
On your FireStick home screen, press the search icon (magnifying glass) and type Downloader. Look for the official app by AFTVnews — it has an orange icon.
2
Install and Open
Select the Downloader app and press Get to install. Once installed, open the app and accept any permissions it requests.
Step 3 — Download IPTV Smarters Pro
IPTV Smarters Pro is the best IPTV player app for FireStick and works perfectly with Best Irish IPTV credentials. Here's how to download it:
1
Open Downloader and Enter the URL
In the Downloader app, tap the URL field and carefully enter the following address:
https://www.iptvsmarters.com/smarters.apk
2
Wait for Download to Complete
The APK file is approximately 30–40MB. Download time depends on your internet speed — typically 1–3 minutes on an average Irish broadband connection.
3
Install the APK
Once downloaded, Downloader will prompt you to install. Tap Install and wait for installation to complete. When finished, tap Done (not Open — go back to delete the APK file first to free up storage).
💡
Delete the APK After Installation
Downloader will ask if you want to delete the APK file. Tap Delete to free up storage space on your FireStick. The app is now installed and the APK file is no longer needed.
Step 4 — Open IPTV Smarters Pro & Enter Your Credentials
Now the important part — entering your Best Irish IPTV subscription details into the app:
1
Find IPTV Smarters Pro
From the FireStick home screen, scroll down to Your Apps & Channels. Scroll right to find IPTV Smarters Pro. If you can't see it, select See All to view all installed apps.
2
Select "Login with Xtream Codes API"
Open IPTV Smarters Pro. On the login screen, select "Login with Xtream Codes API" — this is the login method used by Best Irish IPTV.
3
Enter Your Best Irish IPTV Credentials
Fill in the following fields using the details we sent you on WhatsApp:
• Your Name: Best Irish IPTV (or any name you like)
• Username: [your username from WhatsApp]
• Password: [your password from WhatsApp]
• URL: [your server URL from WhatsApp]
Then tap Add User.
✅
Copy & Paste from WhatsApp
To avoid typos, copy the Server URL directly from your WhatsApp message and paste it into the URL field. Typos in the server URL are the most common reason for authentication errors.

Once you tap Add User, IPTV Smarters Pro will load your full channel list. This typically takes 30–60 seconds on the first load. You'll then see the main menu with:
