How to Install Fetch Kodi Addon for Unlimited Live TV

This article covers how to install Fetch Kodi addon. Similarly, it tells you about what’s Fetch, some of its features, how to use it, etc. You can follow the guide on any Kodi-compatible device like Amazon FireStick, Windows PC, Mac OS machine, Android TV Boxes, Android phones/tablets, and more.  

What Is Fetch Addon?

Fetch is a product of Doomzday Repo that lets you stream international and English channels from around the world. Sports, classics, lifestyle, action, animation, cooking, and you name it, all types of channels are available on the addon.

On Fetch, you can stream thousands of live TV channels for free. Also, you can save them to your favorites list to watch later. Moreover, the addon lets you quickly find any channel using the built-in search function.

With Fetch, you can stream multiple video quality channels like 480p, 720p, or 1080p. Furthermore, you can filter and customize channels by tweaking the options inside the settings menu.

If you want to watch free channels, Fetch is one of the best addons on Kodi to help you out.

Is Fetch Addon Safe?

Well, it may be safe or not. Let me explain.

Unlike official addons, Fetch doesn’t have a safety guarantee simply because it’s found on a third-party repo called Doomzday Repo.

As Kodi prescribes no official way to check the safety of third-party add-ons, Fetch remains in the middle of nowhere. At FireStickHow, we also don’t have the resources to verify whether it’s 100% safe for your device.

However, out of curiosity, I checked the zip file of Doomzday Repo on VirusTotal. And gladly, it aced all the tests – take a look:

Is Fetch Addon Legal?

Kodi doesn’t give support to any third-party addon. So, there’s no way to check whether Fetch is legal or illegal.

Fetch might be scraping the free-to-stream channels available on the internet. Or, it may be fetching premium channels from unknown sources.

My team and I at FireStickHow don’t have the equipment to check whether Fetch is legit.

It’s best to use a trusted VPN like ExpressVPN to hide your online identity while streaming.

Features of Fetch Addon

Here are some reasons why Fetch is one of the best free live TV streaming addons:

• Thousands of free channels from every part of the world
• Special section for English channels
• Features a built-in search function to find a channel in a snap
• Huge range of 1080p FHD channels

How to Install Fetch Kodi Addon

I have divided the installation of the Fetch Kodi addon into three parts. The first one shows how to enable unknown sources. Next, how to add Doomzday Repo. And finally, use the repo to install Fetch.

Part 1 – Turn On Unknown Sources

Here’s the breakdown of how to turn on Unknown Sources in Kodi:

1. Fire up Settings Cog under the Kodi logo on the app’s home page.

2. Open System.

3. Roll down to Add-ons using the left menu panel.

4. Under General on your right, navigate to Unknown sources and turn it on.

5. A warning message by Kodi will appear telling you about the consequences of adding unknown addons. Press Yes to proceed. 

6. To let Kodi automatically update addons from any repo, open -Update official add-ons from.

7. By default, Official repositories only will be selected. Pick Any repositories. 

Part 2 – Install Doomzday Repo

Use the steps below to install Doomzday Repo on your Kodi app:

1. Under the Kodi logo on the home, hit Settings Cog Gear.

2. On Kodi settings, press File manager on your top left.

3. To access Add file source, select Add source.

4. On the new window, under Enter the paths or browse… open <None>.  

5. Enter https://doomzdayteam.github.io/doomzday. Then, hit OK.

Note: The above URL is the official site to access the Doomzday Repo zip file. At FSH, we don’t promote third-party repos/addons. That said, I have added the URL for educational purposes only. 

6. The source will be given a default name, doomzday. To save everything, press OK.

Note: To change the default name, select the name to open the edit window. Then, clear the alias, set a new keyword, and press OK. But make sure to pick a simple name to recall it easily.

7. Return where you saw a bunch of Kodi settings tiles. After that, choose Add-ons.

8. From the available options, choose Install from zip file to access the Doomzday Repo zip file.

9. When you receive a warning regarding auto-updates by Kodi, press Yes to continue. 

10. Locate and select the repo name from the list you have set in step number 6. For me, it’s doozmday.

11. Open repository.doomzday-1.1.0.zip.

Note: When demonstrating, the repo version of Doomzday was 1.1.0. However, it may change when you are accessing it.

12. On the completion of installation, a message will come forward – Doomzday Repo Add-on installed.

Now, you can access all the addons available on the Doomzday Repo. 

Part 3 – How to Install Fetch Addon

Finally, here’s how to load Fetch using the Doomzday Repo:

1. On the Add-ons browser menu, choose Install from repository to access Doomzday Repo.

2. Open Doomzday Repo.

3. From three available sections, choose the last one, Video add-ons.

4. Open Fetch!

Note: Don’t open Fetch Playlists.

5. You’ll see info regarding Fetch, like its Category, Origin, Description, and more. Select Install.

6. Let Kodi download the required files for Fetch from Doomzday Repo and install them.

Note: You may see a window asking you to install additional add-ons with Fetch. Click OK to give the permit.  

7. Finally, a notification will pop on your screen’s top right – Fetch! Add-on installed.

Hurray! The Fetch addon is now installed on your Kodi app.

It looks like you are all set to start watching your favorite content. However, do not forget that all your streaming activities and online identity are unprotected and exposed to your Government and your ISP. In addition, streaming with third-party services may cause legal trouble.

Thankfully, you can easily protect yourself and go invisible from your Government and ISP by using a VPN. Whenever I stream with Kodi, I always connect to ExpressVPN and recommend the same to you.

ExpressVPN is the fastest and the most streaming-friendly VPN. It is also the most secure VPN.

With ExpressVPN, you get a 30-day money-back guarantee as well. So if you do not like the service (I don't see why), you will get a full refund within 30 days.

Please remember that we encourage you to use a VPN to maintain your privacy. We do not condone breaking copyright laws.

Before you start using Kodi for streaming, here is how you can protect yourself with ExpressVPN:

Step 1: Sign up for ExpressVPN Here

Step 2: Download ExpressVPN on your device by clicking HERE

Step 3: Open the ExpressVPN app on your device. Sign in with your account. Click the connect/power button to connect to the VPN

Great! You have successfully secured yourself with the best Kodi VPN.
