For a long time, Nova TV has been one of the best movie apps on FireStick. The app provides free streaming links in multiple streaming qualities, including HD resolutions.

The latest Nova TV v2.5.1 recommends using Bear Player/Fluid Video Player and Vibe Player. 👇

Important: Some Nova TV users are reporting that the app doesn’t launch or gets stuck on the loading screen. I found a simple workaround that can get the app working again:

Turn off Wi-Fi on your FireStick → Launch Nova TV → Press the Home button → Turn Wi-Fi back on → Open NovaTV again → Select the Movies tab from the side menu. The app should work normally!

Please note that since the app’s streaming sources are unverified/unknown, you must use a VPN to guard your online security. Surfshark is our #1 choice.

How to Install Nova TV on FireStick Using Downloader App

Nova TV is not listed on the Amazon App Store. Therefore, you will have to sideload the latest APK v2.5.1 using the Downloader app.

Follow the steps below:

Step 1: Turn ON your FireStick device and Go to FireStick Home

Step 7: Now the Developer Option will appear in the menu so click on it

Step 8: Choose Apps from Unknown Sources to turn it ON

Step 9: Simply click Turn On

Step 10: Now return to the FireStick Home menu by pressing the "Home" icon on the remote and click on Find

Step 11: Now select the Search icon

Step 12: Type Downloader and press search

Step 13: Select the Downloader App icon from the list available in the Amazon Store

Step 14: Tap Get/Download

Step 15: Wait for a while until the installation process is completed

How to Use Nova TV on FireStick

Once you are done installing the latest Nova TV APK v25.1, the app will ask you to install Bear/Fluid Video Player or Vibe Player.

However, I tested top media players, and almost all of them worked with Nova TV. Again, before starting your streaming journey, install and use SurfShark VPN on FireStick to hide your streaming activity.

Follow the steps below:

Step 1: Open Surfshark app and connect to the Hong Kong – 1 server.

Step 2: Long-press the “Home” button on your FireStick remote and select “Apps.”

Step 3: Select the “NOVA TV” from the list.

Step 4: Choose a movie/show.

Step 5: Tap “Play.”

Step 6: Multiple links will load in different streaming qualities; choose any one of them.

Step 7: Tap “Play” or “Play with Subtitles.”

Step 8: Choose the player you have installed. We recommend Bear/Fluid Video Player.

Step 9: Enjoy streaming for free.

Step 10: Select “Play with External Video Player” to use your desired media player.

Step 11: Nova TV provides “Calendar,” which lists upcoming shows, movies, etc.

Step 12: From “Settings,” you can customize the app by adjusting poster size, hiding unaired seasons/episodes, etc.

Is Nova TV Safe/Legal to Use?

I tested both Nova TV APKs (v2.5.1). They are completely safe to use. We scanned the APK files using VirusTotal and found no malware or viruses.

However, we can’t access streaming sources of Nova TV, so we recommend you install and use SurfShark VPN on FireStick for secure streaming.
