Amazon Fire TV Live TV

The first solution that we propose to watch live DTT broadcasts is to take advantage of the Live section . What do you need to use it?

In this section you will find two very different types of content:

DTT channels . Channels have the ability to integrate with the Fire TV operating system and have their broadcasts appear in the Live section. This is nothing more than a shortcut to playback in the respective chains. Therefore, to see the live shows in this section, you will first need to install the application corresponding to the channel. And, of course, it is also mandatory that the developer has made the appropriate changes for the integration. Some of the apps that offer content in the Live section are Atresplayer, Red Bull TV or TV3.
Amazon Prime Channels . This is quite another. These broadcasts are also live, but they are themed and, additionally, they are paid. You can subscribe to them from the Prime Video app. Thus, you get access to content on topics that interest you, such as music, sports or movies.
In short, the Live section of Fire TV is the native way to watch DTT, as long as the applications have made the necessary integration.

Tivify, a quick solution to watch DTT

Tivify is a platform that broadcasts the direct broadcasts of all Spanish channels . Some time ago the requirement was to register to access the broadcasts, but now it is not even necessary.

With this application, which you can download from the official Amazon store, you access most of the general channels in Spain. Also to the regional broadcasts and other specific DTT channels , such as Nova or Paramount.

The only notable limitation is that Mediaset channels are only available in Premium mode. If this is a problem for you, consider paying for the subscription, quite cheap by the way. The access plan only costs 1.99 euros per month.

Of course, the free account is ad-supported, so you’ll see ads from the platform before and during the broadcast.

Install DTT Channels on your Fire TV

DTT Channels is an excellent application. Its design is friendly and the database of channels it provides is vast. With this service you access the original broadcasts of the respective multimedia corporations. In other words, it is not a service that hosts the content on its own servers , but rather takes you to the official streaming.

You should know that DTT Channels is not available in the official Amazon application store. So you will need to follow the same instructions as when installing HBO Max on Fire TV .

They are the following:

Download an app called Downloader from the store .
Access the official website of DTT Channels with the browser that integrates Downloader . The URL is https://www.tdtchannels.com/android .
Locate the Download APK button from our website and click on it.
When the APK download is complete, the installation will begin. It is important that you have enabled the installation of apps from external sources in the device settings.
When you already have DTT Channels installed on your Fire TV, it’s time to add the channel list. The URL is the following:
