UPDATE–MUST READ:
Links to the LUX player TV/VOD service were removed due to them experiencing some issues, one being payment issues. There’s a top IPTV service called CracklePop TV that we tested and reviewed. They have many perks, such as supporting more apps (not LUX), more device connections, more TV/VOD content with and without adult, including more features, and so on.
You get a No IP Lock service that allows you to change your IP address, whereas you won’t get locked into just one location. You can use a VPN and travel with your web TV when using a compatible portable device. The name of the service is called CracklePop TV. They have Web TV Players that open up in your web browser to watch TV online. Use any device with a web browser.
If you have an Android-based device, you get access to free VOD app bonuses that give you 10s of 1000s more VOD movies/TV series. You can continue using your Firestick, Fire TV, or Fire Cube, but with a different app.

Is LUX Player Compatible With Firestick?
Yes and No. You won’t be able to download the LUX Player app from the Amazon App Store, but you will find it in the APK directly. There’s no need for you to visit that directory. The Downloader app must be installed first and can be found in the Amazon App Store for download.
This allows you to sideload the APK version of the app to the Fire TV Stick. So the LUX media player download has to be done indirectly. Basically, it’s the same setup for LUX on the Fire TV download and Fire Cube. See fix LUX Player Firestick issues.
