Upon clicking a channel, you are asked to choose a video player. There are various options like MX Player, VLC, XYZ Player, etc. We recommend MX Player for Firestick because it is fast and reliable.

Final Words

I have tested and tried a variety of live TV apps. However, only a few make it to our list of top apps for FireStick. Redbox TV is one of them.

This app not only has a huge collection of cable TV channels from around the world, but it is also maintained and makes sure most channels are online. I am also impressed with the streaming quality. A lot of channels are stream in 1080p Full HD.

Redbox TV has a lightweight app for FireStick. Hence, it offers smooth navigation. It also streams rather quickly. All things considered, I would say Redbox TV is one of the finest Live TV apps for FireStick I have come across in recent times.
