Best Free Live TV Streaming Apps for Android, Fire TV, NVidia, PC


Right now there are several FREE LIVE TV STREAMING APPS available on the internet, but here I will be giving a short review of two of the best. Following each review will be detailed instructions for installation. I actually install both of these on my ANDROID TV Boxes, and use them on my personal devices.



RedBox TV is a FREE live streaming App where you can watch your favorite TV channels anytime. It has 1000+ live channels from 15 different countries. The app is an .apk file so it can be downloaded and used separate from your Kodi player. You can install it on many devices, such as Android TV Boxes, Amazon Fire Sticks and TV, NVidia, PCs, Cell Phones and Tablets.

I have been using this one for a couple of months on my ANDROID TV BOX and so far it's been working very well. Like all free Live Streaming Apps, sometimes a channel will freeze or not work, but most of the time they work with no problems and the picture quality is very good. A high speed Internet connection is required, as well as a very good Wi-Fi router.


The interface is clear and easy to navigate. There are tabs at the top of each section such as FAVORITES, SPORTS, SCIENCE, KIDS, and each country. My English speaking followers will probably be more interested in the U.S.A. and U.K. channels, but it is easy to keep track of your favorites.

Simply hold down the select button over your most watched channels and you can add them to the FAVORITES tab, which is conveniently located at the far left of the HOME screen. That will keep everything nice and organized so you won't have to scroll through  hundreds of channels to get to your favorite show.

If you would like to install REDBOX TV on your device, you can follow these instructions. As I specialize in Android TV Boxes, the instructions are specific to them only, but the install process should be similar on most devices.

1. On the HOME screen, find and open your INTERNET BROWSER. Use the one you're comfortable with, I prefer CHROME. I also suggest getting a Mini Wireless Keyboard if you don't have one, especially if you are going to be surfing the web and installing apps. The backlit kind are great.

3. Put this URL in your browser,  https://www.redboxtv.net Depending on your device, you might can copy and paste. That will take you to the REDBOX TV website, click on DOWNLOAD.

4. Go back to the HOME screen, click on FILE BROWSER, click on LOCAL DISC, then DOWNLOADS, and there you should see the new REDBOX TV APK. Click to install. Answer yes for any permissions and enjoy!

Another great LIVE TV STREAMING APP is MOBDRO. If you are not familiar with MOBDRO, it is a great application for streaming your favorite Movies, TV series, News, Sports and many others. Not only this but with this Mobdro app you can also access some of your favorite songs and videos whenever you want to watch or hear them.

MOBDRO requires high speed internet, as well as a good Wi-Fi connection. You can install it on many devices, such as Android TV Boxes, Amazon Fire Sticks and TV, NVidia, PCs, Cell Phones and Tablets.


MOBDRO has a pretty simple interface. There are tabs with CHANNELS, NEWS, SHOWS, MOVIES, SPORTS, PODCASTS and many more. There are a couple of Adult channels that can be hidden from view using parental controls. You can also save your most watched channels to favorites for easy access.

 As with all free Live TV Apps, expect some glitches here and there, but over all MOBDRO is my favorite Live TV app, offering more channels and options than most. Of course, it's good to have several apps to choose from in case one goes down or has technical problems.

In my last post I discussed most of the MOBDRO installation process, but I will include it here again for your convenience.

If you would like to install MOBDRO on your device, you can follow these instructions. As I specialize in Android TV Boxes, the instructions are specific to them only, but the install process should be similar on most devices.

1. On the HOME screen, find and open your INTERNET BROWSER. Use the one you're comfortable with, I prefer CHROME. I also suggest getting a Mini Wireless Keyboard if you don't have one, especially if you are going to be surfing the web and installing apps. The backlit kind are great.

3. Put this URL in your browser,  https://www.mobdro.to Depending on your device, you might can copy and paste. That will take you to the MOBDRO website, click on DOWNLOAD.

4. Go back to the HOME screen, click on FILE BROWSER, click on LOCAL DISC, then DOWNLOADS, and there you should see the new MOBDRO APK. Click to install. Answer yes for any permissions and enjoy!

MOBDRO working again! Plus how to install the latest version.


In my last post, we discussed the latest MOBDRO update and it's blackscreen problem. But now we can relax, for now, as the latest update, version 2.0.58 fixed the problem! So now all you have to do is simply let it upgrade the next time you open the app.

If you are not familiar with MOBDRO, it is a great application for streaming your favorite Movies, TV series, News, Sports and many others. Not only this but with this Mobdro app you can also access some of your favorite songs and videos whenever you want to watch or hear them.

MOBDRO NOT WORKING? Don't Panic! I've got the fix.


So you decided to watch some TV on Mobdro, there's a new version. Great, you let it install and guess what? It doesn't work! It might be different for everyone, but for me there was audio but no visual. Don't Panic! I found the fix, at least temporarily. Hopefully the developers will fix it permanently very soon. Maybe before I get this posted, hah.

 The New Version 2.0.56 Fremium is not working, so for now we need to go back to the last updated version, 2.0.52 Fremium. So how do we do that? I'm glad you asked. Remember, my tutorials cover mainly Android TV Boxes, but it should work very similarly on Amazon devices and others as well.

 1. Get rid of the new version. Go into SETTINGS, click on APPS, click on MOBDRO, select UNINSTALL, click YES and let it do it's thing. Then go back to the HOME screen.

 2. Now we need to find your WEB BROWSER and open it. Use whatever you like best, but I prefer CHROME. You might like another better, that's fine. I also suggest getting a Mini Wireless Keyboard if you don't have one, especially if you are going to be surfing the web and installing apps. The backlit kind are great.

 3. Put this URL in your browser, https://mobdro.en.aptoide.com Depending on your device, you might can copy and paste. This will take you to the MOBDRO download page on the Aptoide Android App Store. Don't worry, it's free and safe.

 4. You will see a big DOWNLOAD button, but DO NOT CLICK ON IT! That is the new version. Look down to the right, you will see the words, OTHER VERSIONS. Click on that, select an older version, click on it, then click on the big DOWNLOAD button. This will start the install, click YES for any permissions, let it do it's thing.

 5. Go back to the HOME screen, click on FILE BROWSER, click on LOCAL DISC, then DOWNLOADS, and there you should see the new MOBDRO APK. Click to install. If you've never downloaded anything from the Aptoide store, it will probably download the Aptoide downloader first, then click on that and finish the MOBDRO install.

 This will install the older version and should work fine again. MOBDRO will ask you to upgrade when you open it, just hit the back button and DON'T UPGRADE until the new one is fixed. I will make a new post as soon as I find out. Thanks for reading, hope this helps!

Android TV Boxes - What Are They Good For?


A lot is made about the fact that Android Tv Boxes are great devices to stream your favorite movies, TV shows and music. Especially with the addition of third party apks and add-ons for the Kodi Media Player. Of course, they are definitely great for that. But there are many other useful applications that are often overlooked.

With the Android operating system, access to Google Play and the addition of a Mini Wireless Keyboard, suddenly your TV is turned into a large Android tablet or Mini P.C. Anything you can do with a tablet, you can do with your Android TV Box. Except maybe lose it on the bus!

Writing: Many office apps such as Microsoft Word, OfficeSuite, Microsoft OneDrive and Google Drive are available for free on the Google Play store. The aspiring writer or blogger can sit in the comfort of their living room or den and work on ideas, story lines or even novels. With the addition of printer apps those stories can be printed wirelessly, even if the printer is in another room. Except for certain things that can only be done with a computer, the days of sitting in an uncomfortable office chair in a small room in the back of the house are numbered. I know, laptops, but tablets wouldn't be so popular if laptops were easier to use and less expensive.

Gaming: Many games are available on Google Play, and with the addition of a Mini Wireless Keyboard or compatible Game Controller an Android TV Box can become a great little gaming console. Many retro emulators are available for download, such as but not limited to Nintendo, PlayStation, Atari and Gameboy. While the boxes themselves usually have limited storage space, the addition of microSD cards and USB ports adds unlimited storage for saving games and progress. Entire libraries of retro games can be accessed and played with one inexpensive device.

Music: Of course there are many good streaming and live radio apps, but another great feature is the ability to access your music library using the USB ports and USB memory sticks or even connecting to a portable hard drive. We of the older generation went from Records to Eight Track Tapes to Cassette Tapes to CDs, with each jump being just a little more portable than the last. Then along came digital storage and blew everything out of the water with literally thousands of songs being able to be stored in very small devices. The Android TV devices are excellent for accessing and playback of your treasured tunes.

Movies: Yes, as with music their are many apks and Kodi add-ons for streaming movies. However, if you're like me you probably have book shelves filled with, well books, but also lots of Movies, primarily in DVD and Bluray format. Many movies now come with digital copies, making it easy to store your collection on drives and memory sticks. While most of the Android TV devices can handle 4k, 1080p and even 3-D, with the higher bandwidth of 4k and future formats who knows if streaming will ever be better than 1080p. But you will be able to store those high resolution movies and use your Android TV Box to watch them in glorious 4K on your big screen. Plus you can control which movies your kids are watching and not worry about them losing DVDs.

Surfing The Web: You can use the built in Web Browser or download Chrome browser and turn your big screen TV into an internet machine. Browse your favorite sites, catch up on the news, check the weather. The entire web is at your fingertips. A wireless Mini Keyboard is a must, especially one with a mouse touchpad. Download apps for Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and other social media platforms.

Running a business, writing, blogging, gaming, movies, music or surfing the web, Android TV Boxes can be a great addition to the tablets and computers we already use on a daily basis. I believe that we are at the beginning of a major shift into how consumers use their TVs and that the Android boxes will be at the center of the entertainment and computing hub.

Why I started selling Android TV Boxes

Satellite dish and cable companies offer great entertainment but they lure customers in with low introductory bundles and then sock it to them with high prices and little choice. All of the good deals are offered to new customers only, with no reward for being loyal. Finally fed up, I heard about those Android TV boxes being sold on the internet that used Google Play apps like Netflix, Hulu, TubiTV and Kodi to stream free or very low cost Movies, TV Shows and even Games.

I bought one of those boxes sold on Facebook and liked it but thought it could be better. I began to study the technology behind them. I completely wiped the system and rebuilt it from the ground up. Through many hours and days of research, I discovered the best builds and apps for free entertainment out there and turned my mediocre box into a great entertainment hub, saving thousands.

 Needing boxes for other rooms in the house, I found the best box for the money and these are the same boxes I use in our home. This is more than an "off the shelf" Android TV Box. For it's price range it is the fastest and has the most memory. I don't claim to be an expert, in fact I learn something new every day. But I know my boxes are fast and filled with the best apps and access to free and very low cost entertainment I could find. These boxes are not "jail broken" as there is nothing illegal on the boxes. They get everything those so-called "jail broken" Fire TV sticks get, and do it better. Fire TV sticks only have 1G Ram so you can draw your own conclusions about their speed. Plus Amazon is proprietary and nosy, part of the reason those sticks have to be jail broken.

If you're tired of high priced cable bills and have been wanting to cut the cord, Now Is The Time! High Speed Internet required, as well as a good Wi-Fi modem. One box is needed for each TV, discounts on multiple purchases.
