GSE Smart IPTV claims to be a custom, advanced IPTV solution. This service allows you to import channel playlists and EPG guides from your IPTV subscriptions and offers an easy way to stream your channels.
Keep in mind that GSE Smart IPTV is not an IPTV service provider. It does not provide any IPTV content. It also has no affiliation with any third-party IPTV providers. To use this service, you must specify your own content.
You can use GSE Smart TV with most of your IPTV subscriptions, as long as your IPTV provider supports either playlists, EPG guide or Xtream Codes API.
You can also use GSE Smart IPTV as a media player. It can play video and audio files from the local device storage. However, it is more popularly used as an IPTV player.
In addition to the installation instructions, I have also included the sections on how to use and how to access GSE Smart IPTV on FireStick in this guide. You will also find the quick list of features and benefits of the GSE Smart IPTV app.
Note FireStick users: Read before proceeding
Governments and ISPs around the world monitor their users' online activities. If you find streaming copyrighted content on your Fire TV Stick, you could run into serious problems. Currently, your IP is visible to everyone . I highly recommend you get a good FireStick VPN and hide your identity so your movie viewing experience does not take a bad turn.
HOW TO INSTALL GSE SMART IPTV ON FIRESTICK
GSE Smart IPTV is officially available in the Play Store and Apple App Store. However, on Amazon devices such as your FireStick, it needs to be sideloaded. It is not hosted in the Amazon Store.
To load an external app on FireStick, make sure you have enabled Apps from unknown sources . If you do not know how to do this, first follow these steps before starting the installation procedure:
- Go to Settings on your FireStick device
You will find Settings in the menu bar on the home screen (top)
- Navigate to the so-called menu item My Fire TV and open it
- Now you have to access the menu item Developer options in the next window
- In this window, if the Apps option from unknown sources says OFF, click on it and turn it on
Do not click if it is already ON
- Go ahead and click Turn on when this prompt appears on your screen
GSE Smart IPTV is a reliable, secure app. Do not be afraid of this warning message

STEPS FOR INSTALLING GSE SMART IPTV ON FIRESTICK
Here are the steps:
1- The first thing we need to do is install the Downloader app

A few questions need to appear. Just bypassing them by selecting the appropriate on-screen settings
Once on the Home screen of the Downloader app, click on the URL text box on the right (where it says 'http: //')
3- We now use this on-screen keyboard to enter the following path: https://www.gsesmartiptv.com
OR just use the abbreviated version of this URL gsesmartiptv.com (as you see in the image below)
Check the URL once to make sure you typed it correctly
Click GO
4- Downloader app will now redirect you to its browser section where the following web page loads
Scroll down a bit and click where it says Download for Amazon devices
5- Downloader connects to the online file location and starts downloading GSE Smart IPTV APK on FireStick
This takes a few minutes
6- When the APK file transfer is complete, you will see the following prompt
Go ahead and click Install
7- Allow one minute to install the GSE IPTV app on FireStick

Clicking on the OPEN option starts the app immediately. But we are not doing that right now
Let's go back to the Downloader app and delete the APK file we downloaded. It's a good practice to keep your limited FireStick storage clean
Click DONE

Note: You can also delete the APK file later. Just open the Downloader app, click on Files in the left menu, select the APK file and press the 3-line menu button on the FireStick remote
Store! You now have GSE Smart IPTV on Amazon FireStick.
Your FireStick / Fire TV is now all ready to stream your favorite content. Before you get started, though, I want to warn you that everything you stream online is visible to your ISP and your government. This means that streaming of free movies, TV shows and sports can get you in legal trouble.
Fortunately, there is a foolproof way to keep all your streaming activities hidden from your ISP and government. All you need is a good VPN for Fire Stick. A VPN masks your original IP, which is and helps you bypass Online Monitoring, ISP throttling, and content geo-restrictions.
I personally use and recommend ExpressVPN , which is the fastest and most secure VPN. It is compatible with all kinds of streaming apps and is very easy to install on Fire TV / Stick.
We do not call for infringement of copyright laws. But what if you inadvertently end up streaming content from a fake source? It is not always easy to tell the difference between a legitimate and an illegal source.
So before you start streaming on your Fire Stick / Fire TV, let's see how you use ExpressVPN to keep your streaming activities hidden from prying eyes.
Step 1: Subscribe to ExpressVPN HERE . It comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Meaning you can use it freely for the first 30 days and if you are not satisfied with the service (which is very unlikely) you can ask for a full refund.
Step 2: Turn on your Fire TV / Stick and go to the "Search" option on the far left. Now type "Expressvpn" (without quotes) in the search box and select ExpressVPN when it appears in the search results
Step 3: Click "Download" to install the ExpressVPN Fire TV / Stick app.
Step 4: Open the app and enter your login information that you created while purchasing the ExpressVPN subscription. Click on "Log in"
Step 5: Click the power icon to connect to a VPN server. That is all. Your connection is now secure with the fastest and best VPN for FireStick.
You can also read more detailed information about using ExpressVPN with Fire TV / Stick.
