How to Install & Use USTVNOW on FireStick (2-Minute Guide)

In this guide, I’ll show you how to install and use USTVNOW on FireStick. The web-based streaming service is supported on all Fire TV devices, including FireStick Lite, FireStick 3rd Generation, Fire TV Cube, FireStick 4K, and FireStick 4K Max. Before we discuss the set-up process, we will examine its features and offerings.

What is USTVNOW?

USTVNOW is a web-based streaming service that lets you stream live TV on compatible internet-connected devices. You can access the platform on various home devices, including smartphones, tablets, computers, streaming devices, and smart TVs.

The service transforms your device into an interactive TV screen, bringing live TV content from major US-based TV channels. It is an empowering service for travelers, military personnel, and expatriates who want to access US TV programs from abroad.

At the same time, it provides a cheaper way to access major cable TV channels, including ABC, CBS, FOX, and PBS. In addition, once you sign up for a USTVNOW account, you can access several free live TV channels that air movies, kids’ content, documentaries, lifestyle, news, and entertainment content.

While the website provides tons of free content, you need a subscription to access popular channels like ABC, Freeform, and CBS. You can sign up for a one-day or seven days free trial. If the service piques your interest, you can sign up for the long-term plan.

USTVNow is an easy-to-use live-streaming website. While you can navigate it using the Fire TV remote, a mouse toggle makes navigation better. Check out our guide on how to use the mouse toggle on FireStick.

Access USTVNOW Through the Web Browser

Once you’ve installed the browser, the next step is to access USTVNOW on the browser. Follow the below steps:

2. Scroll through the apps until you locate the Amazon Silk Browser (which goes by the logo Internet). Click it to open it.

3. Click the address bar.

This is how you get USTVNow on FireStick.

Wait! It looks like you are all set to start watching your favorite content on FireStick. But have you protected your online identity yet? You are under constant surveillance by the Government and ISP. Free streaming of copyrighted videos may get you into legal trouble.

Thankfully, you can easily avoid online monitoring and safeguard your privacy with a trusted VPN on FireStick. A VPN will hide your IP address and online identity by encrypting your internet connection.

Please note that I am not encouraging you to violate any copyright laws. You should always watch the content available in the public domain. I am simply recommending the use of a VPN to maintain your privacy. You have every right to your privacy, which is constantly being breached these days.

I personally use ExpressVPN and have found it to be the fastest and most secure FireStick VPN. It is also the most streaming-friendly VPN I have ever used. Therefore, I highly recommend getting ExpressVPN for FireStick.

Here is how you can quickly get the ExpressVPN app on FireStick:

Step 1: Click HERE to subscribe to ExpressVPN and enjoy a 49% discount with 3 months of extended service. You are also eligible for a 30-day, full money-return guarantee.

Step 2: Download and install ExpressVPN on FireStick

• Choose the Find > Search option on the FireStick home screen on the menu bar.

• Search for ExpressVPN.

• Click the ExpressVPN icon on the following window.

• Click Download or Get on the next window

Step 3: Open ExpressVPN once you have downloaded it. Sign in with your account.

Step 4: Choose a server and click the Connect/Power button

Put your mind at ease now! You have successfully secured your streaming activities with ExpressVPN.
