Use Magine TV on Amazon Fire TV - Here's how

If you want to use Magine on your Amazon Fire TV, you can now finally do so via an official app. We'll show you exactly how it works.

Update: No more Magine TV for the Fire TV

Around three years after Magine TV appeared on Amazon's Fire TV, the app for live TV will disappear from the devices again.

On February 28, 2019, Magine TV pulls the plug. Due to the great competition, Magine is reorienting itself and will no longer be doing business with end customers.
As a Magine customer, however, you are not in a fix. Competitor Zattoo takes over the business. All customers receive an email with an offer from Zattoo.
The offer includes two free months of Zattoo Premium. Usually the month costs 9.99 euros. A new registration is not necessary. If you agree to the offer, your Magine account will be converted into a Zattoo account.
You can also continue to watch German live TV on the Fire TV. Zattoo also offers a corresponding app. If Zattoo's offer does not suit you, you can take a look at TV Spielfilm live or waipu.tv.

Since March 2016, Magine has finally launched a suitable app for the Amazon Fire TV. This means that you no longer have to laboriously sideload the Android app to the device.
Go to the "Apps" category on the left of the Fire TV, you will find Magine TV under "Top - Free". Alternatively, you can also find the app by searching for the Fire TV.
If you don't have a Magine account yet, you can test the basic package for 30 days free of charge. Later payment is possible directly via the Amazon account.

First download the free tool "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" and the "Amazon FireTV Utility App". Run both programs.
In addition, you need the current Android app from Magine. You can find these at several unofficial sources that you can reach via Google.
Open the Amazon FireTV Utility app and click on the "Root your AFTV" button.
The Fire TV will ask you for the IP address. You can find them in the "Settings" of your device under "System" in the category "Info".
Once you have entered the IP address, activate the "" Normal debug mode "option. Then a window opens with the message" Success ".
Now click on the "Select APK to Sideboard" button in the software and select the downloaded Magine app.
Use the "Sideload" button to transfer the app to the Amazon Fire TV. This may take a few moments.
You will then find the Magine app in the "Settings" under "Applications" and "Manage all installed apps".
Note: To operate the app, you should connect a mouse to the Fire TV.
