INTRODUCTION
If you’re an IPTV enthusiast, you probably rely on an IPTV player to watch live TV channels on your device. One of the latest players gaining popularity is OTT Navigator, a great choice for live streaming. Like TiviMate, OTT Navigator offers both a free and a premium version. The premium version unlocks additional features, but we’ve found the free version works well for most users.
For those who want the extra features, the premium version costs $0.99 per month or a one-time fee of $19.99 for lifetime access. Note that the premium version requires the installation of a “Companion” app, available in the Google Play Store.
In this guide, we’ll show you how to install the free version of OTT Navigator on popular media devices like Firestick, Android Boxes, and Google TV. Remember, OTT Navigator doesn’t host content itself, so you’ll need to input an M3U URL or Xtream Code from your IPTV provider to access channels.
Firestick is a favorite among IPTV users due to its ability to sideload apps, so we’ll use it to demonstrate the installation process.
