  1. Hello Jason,
    Unless I am missing something, your article and installation instructions for watching French TV using Live Net TV App seem to be to be incomplete.
    I installed the App and a VPN but when selecting French TV and say Chanel 4 a sign came up saying “It seems that you are not using a mobile. Only following players are compatible” and it lists 6 players that are compatible, namely :- MX player, XYZ Player, VLC Player, Android Player, Video Player and Wuffy Player? So should we install one of these and if so, which one? I did try installing the VLC player but it did not allow me to open and stream a French TV channel. Please advise how to proceed to watch French TV
    Regards, David Peck

    • The MX Player is the best; I am using it and haven’t encountered any issues. Click here to install MX Player on Firestick. let me know if you still face any issue
