The App Store does the work. The only part worth explaining is what happens after the app opens.

Open the App Store, search for Viziona, and install it. Or tap the App Store button on this page to go straight to the listing.
- 2
Sign in
Open Viziona and sign in. If you do not have an account yet, create one in the app. It is free, and it is what carries your playlists to your other devices.
- 3
Add your playlist
Tap Add playlist. Paste your M3U link, or enter your Xtream Codes server, username and password.
Easier to typeLong links are painful on a phone keyboard. Open viziona.tv on a computer, add the playlist to your account there, and it appears in the app after you sign in.

Your channels, movies and series load straight away, with the full TV guide where your provider supplies one.
Install on an Android phone or tablet
The same as iPhone, through Google Play. One version requirement catches people out.
- Requires
- Android 7.0+
- Takes about
- 1 minute
- Available
- Worldwide
The same listing you would use to push the app to an Android TV later.
- 1
Get the app
Open Google Play, search for Viziona, and install it. Or tap the Google Play button on this page.
Viziona needs Android 7.0 or newer. On Android 6 and older the app cannot be installed at all, and Google Play hides it rather than explaining why.
- 2
Sign in
Open Viziona and sign in, or create a free account in the app.
- 3
Add your playlist
Tap Add playlist, then paste your M3U link or enter your Xtream Codes login.

Start watching
Everything your subscription carries appears in the app. Nothing else to set up.
Install on Android TV or Google TV
Do the typing on your phone and let the TV receive it. That is the whole trick on this platform, for the install and for the playlist.
- Requires
- Android TV 7.0+
- Takes about
- 4 minutes
- Typing on the remote
- None
Open this on your phone, not on the TV. Step 1 explains why.
- 1
Send the app to your TV from your phone
On your phone, open the Viziona listing on Google Play, tap Install, and pick your TV from the list of your devices. It installs over the air while the TV is on and signed in to the same Google account.
Or on the TV itselfOpen the Play Store on the TV and search for Viziona. Hold the microphone button and say the name rather than spelling it out with the remote.
- 2
Open Viziona on the TV
The TV shows a QR code with a short pairing code underneath it. Leave that screen up.
- 3
Scan the QR with your phone
Point your phone camera at the QR code. It opens viziona.tv/pair with the code already filled in. No camera? Open that address yourself and type the code from the TV.
- 4
Add your playlist on the phone
Paste your M3U link, or enter your Xtream Codes login, on the phone. The TV picks it up within a few seconds and moves on by itself.
This is why pairing exists. An M3U link is 60 characters of punctuation, and an on-screen keyboard driven by a d-pad is the worst possible way to enter one.
- 5
Start watching
The playlist stays on the TV. You pair once. The next time you turn it on, your channels are already there.
Install on Fire TV or Firestick
There is no Google Play on a Fire TV, so the app arrives through the free Downloader app instead. Five steps, and one permission that has to be switched on.
- Requires
- Fire OS, Android 7+
- Download size
- 66 MB
- Takes about
- 6 minutes
- Free space needed
- ~150 MB
You type this on the TV, inside Downloader. Step 3.
- 1
Install Downloader on the Fire TV
From the Fire TV home screen, search for Downloader and install it from the Amazon Appstore. It is free, the icon is orange, and the developer is AFTVnews. This is the app that fetches Viziona for you.
- 2
Allow Downloader to install apps
Go to Settings → My Fire TV → Developer options → Install unknown apps and turn Downloader on. Viziona is not in the Amazon Appstore, so Fire OS needs this permission once. You can switch it back off afterwards.
No Developer options in that menu? Open Settings → My Fire TV → About, highlight your device name, and click it seven times. The menu appears.
- 3
Enter the code in Downloader
Open Downloader, select the address field, type 4975088 and press Go. Digits only, no spaces and no http.
Downloader code 4975088or open aftv.news/4975088

Download, then install
The file is 66 MB. When it finishes, choose Install, then Open. Downloader then offers to delete the installer file. Say yes, it frees the space back up.

Pair and add your playlist
Viziona opens on a QR code. Scan it with your phone, which opens viziona.tv/pair, and paste your M3U link or Xtream Codes login there. The TV loads your channels a few seconds later.
You only pair once. After that the Firestick goes straight to your channels.

The things people actually write to us about.Fire TV says “App not installed” or “Install blocked”
There is no “Developer options” on my Fire TV
Searching on my Android TV does not find Viziona
The App Store says Viziona is not available in my country
It installed, but there are no channels
The pairing code on my TV stopped working
Still stuck?
Tell us the device, the step number, and what you see on screen. That is usually enough to answer in one reply.
