This guide will show you how to install Nova TV on FireStick and Fire TV devices. Nova TV is a free streaming service that lets you watch movies and series.
Since it is an APK, you can install it on any Android-based device, including Android TV and smartphones.
Nova TV is a third-party app. It is not available on Amazon. Therefore, it must be sideloaded onto your device. The sideloading process for Nova TV is a bit complicated at the moment, as it requires installing another third-party app, APKTime, first.
I have tried to simplify the process by breaking it down into various parts. Please leave a comment to let us know if you were able to follow the steps easily.

The best way to install Nova TV is through APKTime. I could not find any other reliable sources online.
APKTime is a third-party app store. It lets you install apps that aren’t available on the Amazon Store.
In the following steps, I will provide the following instructions:
- Part 1: Install Downloader from the Amazon Store (required for sideloading APKTime)
- Part 2: Install APKTime
- Part 3: Install Nova TV from APKTime
- Part 4: Install VLC Player (Nova TV works best with VLC Player).
Part 1: Install & Set Up Downloader
If you already have Downloader, click to jump to app installation steps
1. From the home screen of your FireStick, navigate to Find and Search.
2. Start typing Downloader and click it in the search results.
3. Click the Downloader icon on the next window.
4. Click the Download button (or you may see the Get button).
5. Wait for the installation to finish.
6. We will now set up Downloader for sideloading. Go to FireStick Settings from the home screen.
7. Click My Fire TV.
8. Click Developer Options.
Can't see Developer Options? Click About, then click your FireStick device name 7 times until you see "No need, you are already a developer" at the bottom (or read the step-by-step instructions to enable Developer Options).
9. Click Install unknown apps.
Note: If your device shows the global setting Apps from Unknown Sources, enable it and skip the next step.
10. If Downloader is OFF, click it and turn it ON.
11. Go back to the FireStick home screen and click the App library icon.
12. Open Downloader.
13. Click Allow (one-time permission is required).
14. Click OK if you see this prompt.

You can now start installing the app.
Part 2: Install & Set Up APKTime

1. Go to your apps section and open APKTime.
2. Click the search button in the top-right corner.
3. Type Nova TV in the search box.

Select the Download button and wait for the Nova TV APK to download.

6. Wait for the installation to complete. You may now click OPEN to run the app now, or DONE to use it later.
Part 4: Install VLC Player
Nova TV prompts you to install the Bear Player when you try to watch a video. However, it works best with VLC. Therefore, I am providing the steps to install VLC Player from the Amazon Store.
1. Go to FireStick home screen and then navigate to Find > Search.
2. Type VLC and click it in the search results.
3. Click the VLC Player tile on the following window.
4. Click the Download button. Wait for the app to install. No need to open the VLC Player just yet. It will automatically open during playback.
