Flash STB is distributed through official app stores, and on Windows, Android phones and tablets, Android TV and Fire TV as downloads published on this page. We do not publish packages, APK mirrors or "unlocked" builds anywhere else, and any other site offering one is not us.

Store availability varies by country. If Flash STB does not appear in your region's store, tell us — regional rollout is staged.

Installing the app is step one of two. Flash STB opens to an empty configuration screen. You will need the portal address, playlist URL or login supplied by the IPTV provider you subscribe to. We cannot provide one and our support team is not permitted to help you find one.

Installation guides

Same shape on every platform: install, open, enter your own source.

Samsung (Tizen)

  1. Press Home on the remote and open Apps.
  2. Select the search icon and type Flash STB.
  3. Choose Install, then Open.
  4. Sign in on the welcome screen with your Flash STB account, or create one there — the 7-day trial starts on first sign-in.
  5. Go to Settings → Source and enter your provider's details.

Download the Tizen package (.wgt)

Developers only. A Samsung TV will not install this from a USB stick or the browser. It needs Tizen Studio and sdb on a PC, Developer Mode switched on, and your TV registered to the signing certificate — a TV that is not registered refuses the package. Everyone else should wait for the Smart Hub listing.

Version 1.1.6 · 726 KB · SHA-256 d35a408ea1468ace0c1f1db3382f788f6f83a737fdce626da42d3f6cad2840c0

LG (webOS)

  1. Press Home and open the LG Content Store.
  2. Search for Flash STB.
  3. Select Install, then Launch.
  4. Sign in on the welcome screen with your Flash STB account.
  5. Open Settings → Source and enter your provider's details.

Download the webOS package (.ipk)

Developers only. An LG TV will not install this from a USB stick. It needs the Developer Mode app from the Content Store, a free LG developer account, and ares-install on a PC. The developer session expires after about 50 hours and takes the app with it, so this is for testing, not for watching. Everyone else should wait for the Content Store listing.

Version 1.1.7 · 1.05 MB · webOS 5.6.2 and newer · SHA-256 da99f89105093d5e4baed168727d13ace93a41963ceb3b734d8921b9ed360d61

Installing over an earlier version keeps your services and favourites. Direct files for checking: v1.11.14 32-bit (SHA-256 2c9f7720aa68f112f9cf4c8479c933a5e7e3f3fee9c1d0f82372ce6de7a06426), v1.11.14 universal (SHA-256 13862d562d2667644d980ffd6b2e1d53ea74f13e92a3588f6d0c585caaf92f59), v1.11.14 64-bit only (SHA-256 414f26a39f859fd5fea8757864ef770c98cb44dfd1046df2e35e7a641d28dd43).

Android phone & tablet

In Canada, Mexico or the United States? Install from Google Play — one tap, and it keeps itself updated.

Get it on Google Play

Free to install, and it keeps itself updated. Your free trial starts the first time you sign in.

Anywhere else, or if you would rather have the file: download it directly. Same app, and always the newest build.

Download the APK

Version 2.0.9 · 9.2 MB · Android 6.0 and newer · SHA-256 74a0b9b03b908f0a63c0512514a1cb7a4783f90d98474d126a9754cb7c07be5b

  1. Open this page on the phone and tap the button above. Chrome may say the file could be harmful; choose Download anyway.
  2. Open the downloaded file. The first time, Android asks to allow installs from this browser: Settings → Allow from this source, then go back and tap Install.
  3. Launch Flash STB 8K and sign in with your Flash STB account.
  4. Open Settings → Source and enter your provider's details.

Version 2 is a new native app and installs over the earlier one; coming from a 1.x version, sign in once more and add your service again — your account MAC is unchanged, so nothing needs re-activating with your provider. A smaller 64-bit-only file for checking: v2.0.9 arm64 (SHA-256 cfcb93f4437319fe5348b76d15d34cdc79f9095e157080bd1499beecfc27fe06).

Moving to or from the Google Play version? Uninstall Flash STB 8K first, then install the other one. The two are signed differently, so Android will not install one over the other — it reports App not installed. Nothing is lost: sign in with the same Flash STB account and your services and favourites come back from your account.

Windows

Get it from Microsoft

Version 1.8.4 · 64-bit · signed by Microsoft · updates itself

  1. Choose the Microsoft Store button above, then Get in the Store app.
  2. Launch Flash STB 8K from the Start menu and sign in with your Flash STB account.
  3. Open Settings → Source and enter your provider's details.

Installing over an earlier version keeps your services and favourites.

iPhone, iPad & Apple TV

  1. Open the App Store.
  2. Search for Flash STB and install it.
  3. Launch the app and sign in with your Flash STB account.
  4. Open Settings → Source and enter your provider's details.

On Apple platforms the activation purchase is made inside the app, through the App Store's own payment system. Everywhere else you subscribe on this website, signed in to your Flash STB account.

Installation troubleshooting

The app is not in my TV's store

Check that your TV meets the platform requirement in the table above — Samsung sets before 2018 and webOS below 4.0 cannot run it. If the model is supported, the cause is usually regional staging. Contact support with your model number and country and we will tell you where the rollout stands.

Can I sideload it instead?

Only on Windows, and only from the installer on this page. Everywhere else we publish through official stores. Packages distributed elsewhere under our name are not ours, are not supported, and may be modified. Report them to support.

The app installed but the screen is blank after I entered my source

That is almost always the source rather than the app — a wrong address, an expired subscription, or a provider blocking the connection. Open Settings → Diagnostics for the exact connection error, then take that message to your provider.

Does one subscription cover all my devices?

No. One subscription runs one device at a time. You can move it to replacement hardware for free, but two televisions in use at once need a subscription each. See pricing.

Your free trial starts the first time you sign in on the device. When you are ready to keep it, subscribe from your account page.
