FireStick, FireCube, PC, Android, iPhone — every device covered. Cancel the lot. Watch everything. Pay nothing.
Different devices need different setups. Pick yours below — everything's covered.
Settings → My Fire TV → Developer Options → turn on "Apps from Unknown Sources" and "ADB Debugging". Do this once. Then install the Downloader app from the Amazon store — this is how you sideload everything below.
YouTube with zero ads, background play, 4K, Sponsorblock (skips sponsored segments automatically), picture-in-picture. This is genuinely better than YouTube Premium.
Stremio is a streaming hub — add free add-ons and watch films and TV shows. Add Real-Debrid (£3–4/month) and the quality becomes HD/4K with fast reliable links. Best Netflix replacement available.
Real-Debrid: real-debrid.com — worth every penny for the quality upgrade. About £3/month.
Free Netflix-style app for Fire devices. Large catalogue, no account needed, no subscription. Good for casual watching — quality varies but it works.
Huge film and TV library. Multiple stream sources per title so if one link breaks there are backups. Popular and regularly updated.
The granddaddy of free streaming. Install Kodi, then add the Exodus Redux or The Crew add-on for films and TV. Steeper learning curve but incredibly powerful once set up.
Free browser extension. Blocks ALL ads on YouTube, news sites, and everywhere else. Also bypasses most newspaper paywalls as a bonus. Works on Chrome, Firefox, Edge.
Download Stremio for Windows/Mac, install the Torrentio add-on, and you have a Netflix-quality catalogue for free. Add Real-Debrid for HD links (~£3/month).
Use Spotify free on open.spotify.com in your browser — uBlock Origin blocks the ads automatically. More skips, no interruptions.
uBlock Origin handles most. For the rest: paste the article URL into archive.ph or 12ft.io and get the full article free.
Patched version of YouTube — no ads, background play, picture-in-picture, sponsor block. Fully free. Needs manual install (APK sideload) but worth it.
Automatically mutes Spotify when ads play on Android. Not perfect but takes the edge off while you decide if you need Premium at all.
Stremio has a full Android app. Same setup as PC — install Torrentio add-on, watch films and TV free. Add Real-Debrid for HD.
Free browser with built-in ad blocking — blocks YouTube ads in browser, blocks all website ads, no extension needed. Great alternative to Chrome on Android.
Smart TV built-in apps are slow, ad-heavy, and hard to update. Plug a FireStick or FireCube into your TV's HDMI port — it costs £20–£40 and transforms what you can do. Everything on the FireStick tab above then applies.
Most modern Samsung and LG TVs have free streaming built in — Pluto TV, Rakuten TV, Samsung TV Plus all come pre-installed with no subscription. Check your TV's app store before paying for anything.
£29.99 (often on sale for £19.99). Plug it into any HDMI port. Instant access to everything in the FireStick tab above — SmartTube, Stremio, NetFly, Cinema HD. Pays for itself in one month of cancelled Netflix.
These are fully legitimate, free, no account required, no grey area. Pure free TV.
Free music, podcasts, radio. Huge catalogue. Replaces Spotify for many.
bbc.co.uk/sounds →A VPN lets you appear to be in another country — useful for accessing region-locked content. For basic free streaming on the apps above you don't need one. If you want to access US Netflix or other region-locked content, a free VPN tier (ProtonVPN free) works for occasional use.
Many free VPNs sell your browsing data. ProtonVPN's free tier is genuinely trustworthy. Avoid random free VPNs from the app store — they make money from your data, not from you.
