STB Pro+ for Android

One app for your phone and tablet, and one made for the big screen on Android TV, Google TV and Amazon Fire TV. While they're in early access, you download them right here instead of from an app store.

The first public Android build hasn't been published yet. This page fills in the download links, version and checksums as soon as it is. Want to test early? Email [email protected].

Phones & tablets

Android 8.0 or later. Live TV, guide, movies and series, search, profiles, subtitles and live rewind.

Android TV, Google TV & Fire TV

Made for your TV remote: live preview, TV guide, Multi View and Picture in Picture. Works on every Android TV, Google TV and Fire TV device.

For advanced users: file details and checks

The TV download works on every device. If you'd rather have a smaller file for your device's processor:

  • 64-bit ARM (arm64-v8a): Chromecast with Google TV, Google TV Streamer, NVIDIA Shield and most recent TV boxes.
  • 32-bit ARM (armeabi-v7a): most Fire TV Sticks and older boxes.

To check a download, compare its SHA-256 with the one below: shasum -a 256 file.apk on a Mac, certutil -hashfile file.apk SHA256 on Windows.

  • Phone & tablet: com.stbpro.mobile
  • TV: com.stbpro.app

Apple purchases don't unlock the Android apps, and the Android apps have no in-app purchases yet. There is no automatic sync between Android devices; use backup and restore to move your setup.

Install

Install in a couple of minutes.

Android installs apps from outside Google Play once you allow the app that downloads them. You only need to do this once.

On a phone or tablet

  1. Open this page on the device

    Or type this site/apk in Chrome.

  2. Tap Download

    Chrome may warn that the file can be harmful. Tap Download anyway.

  3. Open the downloaded file

    If asked, allow Install unknown apps for Chrome (or your file manager), then go back.

  4. Tap Install

    If Google Play Protect says it doesn't recognise the developer, tap More details → Install anyway. Play Protect still scans the app.

On Fire TV

  1. Install Downloader

    Search for Downloader (by AFTVnews) in the Amazon Appstore and install it.

  2. Allow it to install apps

    Settings → My Fire TV → Developer Options → Install unknown apps → Downloader → On. No Developer Options? Open Settings → My Fire TV → About and select your device name seven times.

  3. Enter the short link

    Open Downloader and type this site/tv, then select Go.

  4. Install, then delete the file

    Select Install, then Done. Downloader offers to delete the APK to free space — say yes.

On Android TV & Google TV

  1. Install Downloader

    Search for Downloader by AFTVnews in Google Play on your TV.

  2. Turn on Developer options

    Settings → System → About → select Android TV OS build seven times.

  3. Allow Downloader to install apps

    Settings → Apps → Security & restrictions → Unknown sources → Downloader → On. (Older devices: Settings → Device Preferences → Security & restrictions.)

  4. Enter the short link

    In Downloader, type this site/tv, select Go, then Install.

Updating

  1. Download the new version

    When a new version is out, it shows at the top of this page. Download it the same way you did the first time.

  2. Install it over the old one

    Your providers, profiles, favourites and history stay exactly where they were.

  3. Only download from this site

    Every version of STB Pro+ comes with our digital signature, so Android won't let a fake copy replace your app.

Why isn't it on Google Play or the Amazon Appstore?

The Android apps are in early access. Store listings will follow once they are feature-complete; this page will link to them when they're live.

Phone and TV — do I need both?

No. Install the phone app on phones and tablets, and the TV app on TVs and streaming sticks. They are separate apps and can live side by side.

Does it include channels?

No. Like the Apple apps, STB Pro+ for Android is a player. Add your own M3U playlist, Xtream Codes account or Stalker portal.

Something doesn't work

Tell us at [email protected] with your device model and app version. The TV app can also export a diagnostics report that leaves out your passwords and addresses.
