What Is DistroTV?

DistroTV is one of the best apps for FireStick. The app offers over 150 free channels from the US, UK, Canada, and other parts of the world. It is home to a wide variety of content, including live TV, news and opinions, lifestyle, travel, sports, entertainment, reality TV, radio, documentaries, music, and classic shows and films.

You can stream various sports events such as college football, pro football, Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), motorsports, poker, and more. Other entertainment categories you can stream include travel, cooking, karaoke music, concerts, telenovelas, movies, and TV shows.

While the service is currently available in the US, UK, and Canada, it offers content from various parts of the world. The line-up includes English content from the US, UK, and Canada, Spanish language content, Desi: Indian and South Asian, and African content. DistroTV also lets you stream and play video games on compatible devices.

DistroTV is compatible with most home entertainment and streaming devices, including FireStick, Google TV, Roku, Apple TV, Android TV, and Samsung TV. It is free, and you don’t need to create an account to stream content. However, you have to put up with ads to stream content on the platform.

Distro TV is listed as one of the best apps for FireStick.

Attention FireStick Users: Read before you continue

Your government and ISP are probably monitoring your streaming activities using your IP address 3.17.249.235 (exposed to all). You may get into serious legal trouble for streaming copyrighted videos on FireStick. 

I strongly recommend getting a trusted VPN for FireStick to hide your IP address and protect your online identity.

I use ExpressVPN on all my devices as it is the most secure, fastest, and easy-to-use VPN. It comes with an unconditional 30-day money-back guarantee, and you get 3 free months with the yearly plan.

Don't miss out on the peace of mind and online security ExpressVPN provides.

Once you’ve added the app shortcut, launch the app. DistroTV has a straightforward home screen that makes browsing through content effortless. At the top center of the home screen, you’ll see a quick navigation menu with three options: Live, OnDemand and Search icon.
