Extra apps

Optional apps that come free with your subscription. You don't need them, but they're there if you want them.

Already a customer? Sign in to these apps with the same Username and Password you use in our TV app. It doesn't matter which of our services you have.

VOD app

Extra movies and shows on demand

A separate app packed with extra on-demand content: movies and series you can start any time. It's completely optional; your live TV works the same with or without it.

Install on Fire TV or Android TV

Same as our main app. If you've already installed it, Downloader and the settings are ready to go.

  1. Open Downloader, type the code 3179341 and press Go.
  2. Install the app when the download finishes. If you're asked to allow the install, see step 3 of our Fire Stick guide or the Android TV guide.
  3. Open the app and sign in with your Username and Password.

Install on an Android phone or tablet

Download VOD app

Or open Chrome and go to aftv.news/3179341. If your phone blocks it, see this fix.

Says "Contact administrator" when you sign in? Your account is over its connection limit (too many devices signed in at once). Contact us or call 902-306-4096 and we'll sort it out.

VPN app

Smoother streaming if your internet provider slows you down

Some internet providers slow down streaming, especially in the evenings. Our VPN app hides that traffic from your provider, which can stop buffering caused by throttling. Only needed if you're having that problem.

Install on Fire TV or Android TV

Same as our main app. If you've already installed it, Downloader and the settings are ready to go.

  1. Open Downloader, type the code 4404338 and press Go.
  2. Install the app when the download finishes. If you're asked to allow the install, see step 3 of our Fire Stick guide or the Android TV guide.
  3. Open the app and sign in with your Username and Password.

Set it up for the best results

  1. Open the VPN app and sign in with your Username and Password.
  2. Go to Settings → Protocol → Protocol selection.
  3. Change it to WireGuard and choose Save.
  4. Go back and connect to a USA city. Always use a USA city for the best results.

Tip: Open the VPN app and connect before you open our TV app. Leave it running in the background while you watch.
