What is DistroTV?

DistroTV is a free streaming service that provides access to live TV channels and on-demand content. It’s supported by ads, so you don’t need to pay for a subscription.

You can watch a variety of content, including news, sports, movies, TV shows, and even international programming. DistroTV works on many devices like Android TV, Firestick, Roku, and smartphones, making it easy to stream content wherever you are.

Just download the app, pick a channel or show, and start watching. No registration or login is required, making it a simple and hassle-free option for cord-cutters.

The app is available all over the world via Google Play Store and Amazon App Store, but I noticed that the best content is offered in the US region.

So I recommend that you use a VPN to connect to a US server to access the best this service has to offer.

How to install DistroTV on Mi Box (Android TV or Firestick)

DistroTV is available on all the official app stores for various streaming devices.

If you are using an Android TV or Google TV device, then head over to the Google Play Store to download it. Firestick users can do the same from the Amazon App Store.

Here’s how to download it.

Install DistroTV on Android TV or Google TV devices (Google Play)

1. Head over to the Google Play store, and search for DistroTV. Click Install.

2. Wait for it to finish installing. Then you can open the app and start using it right away.

That’s all it takes to install it from the Google Play Store or the Amazon App Store (on Firestick).

How to Use DistroTV on Android TV or Firestick

Before you start using the app, let’s make sure that you have easy access to the app. Let’s pin the app icon to your Android TV homescreen.

On the home tab, click the + sign and select DistroTV from the list. Now you can easily access the app from your Android TV or Google TV Homescreen.

The app interface is really simple. You can find what you want to watch with a few clicks.

You can change from Live TV to OnDemand at the top.

In the top right, you can click the three lines (menu) to see the channel guide which lists all the channels, what they are showing, and what they will show.

Now as I said before, the content outside the USA isn’t as good. You might find it severely lacking or even boring at times.

So I recommend that you connect your VPN to a US server and then open the app to enjoy all the content available to US users.

The selection of movies, Live TV channels, and other OnDemands content in the US region is just way ahead of any other region. Give it a try to see if you like it.

I recommend using Surfshark VPN, it’s practically free.
