Now that you understand the basics of TeaTV, let‘s move onto the installation process.
Step-by-Step Guide to Install TeaTV V10.7.3 on Firestick & Android TV
The latest version of TeaTV at the time of writing is v10.7.3. Here are the detailed steps to install it on Firestick, Fire TV, and Android TV boxes:
1. Enable Apps from Unknown Sources
Since TeaTV isn‘t available in official app stores, we need to enable "Unknown Sources" on our device. This setting permits installation of apps from outside sources.
To do this:
-
Go to Settings > My Fire TV or Device Preferences.
-
Select Developer Options.
-
Turn on the toggle for Apps/Sources Unknown or Install Unknown Apps.
Enabling this will allow us to sideload the TeaTV APK file in the next step.
2. Download and Install Downloader App
Downloader is a simple app that lets us easily install APK files onto our Firestick/Android TV device.
Follow these steps to get Downloader:
-
Use the search function to find Downloader in your device‘s app store.
-
Select Downloader > Download.
-
Once downloaded, open the Downloader app.
You should now see the Downloader interface ready for us to enter the TeaTV download link.
3. Grab TeaTV APK from Troypoint Toolbox
We‘ll now use Downloader to grab the TeaTV APK file from the Troypoint Toolbox.

In Downloader, enter
https://www.hobsoft.com/toolboxin the URL box. -
Scroll down and select the TeaTV APK file.

Click Download to begin the TeaTV download.
This will get you the latest working version of TeaTV specially provided through Troypoint‘s Toolbox.
4. Install TeaTV APK on Firestick / Android TV
Once the TeaTV download completes, you‘ll see an Install button.
-
Click Install to install the TeaTV APK on your Firestick, Fire TV, or Android TV device.

Wait for the install process to finish.

Return to the home screen of your device.

Locate TeaTV in Your Apps or under Recently Installed.

Select the TeaTV app icon to launch it.

Accept any login or sync prompts that appear.
You‘ll then arrive at the TeaTV home screen ready to start streaming movies and shows!
That covers the core app installation process. Next, I‘ll show you how to integrate Real-Debrid and Trakt for enhanced capabilities.
Boost TeaTV with Real-Debrid Integration
One of the best features of TeaTV is built-in support for Real-Debrid. Integrating a Real-Debrid account unlocks faster, higher quality streams in TeaTV.
Here are the steps to connect Real-Debrid:
-
In TeaTV, go to Settings.
-
Choose Real-Debrid and enter your account info.
-
Sign in to Real-Debrid and authorize TeaTV.
Once connected, you‘ll now see "RD" labeled streams which offer premium playback. Real-Debrid improves both streaming speed and video quality.
If you don‘t have a Real-Debrid account, you can purchase a low-cost subscription here.
Link TeaTV with Trakt
Another great option in TeaTV is integration with Trakt. Trakt helps you track and manage your movie and TV show watching across multiple devices.
Connecting your Trakt account to TeaTV provides these benefits:
- Sync your show progress between different apps and devices
- Automatically track what you watch (no manual check-ins)
- Discover new recommended shows based on your tastes
- Create and organize custom watchlists
To link TeaTV with Trakt:
-
Go to TeaTV Settings > Trakt Login.
-
Enter the provided code at trakt.tv/activate.
-
Click Authorize to approve access.
Your Trakt account will now be linked with TeaTV for automatic tracking and syncing.
Add Live TV Channels to TeaTV
In addition to on-demand movies and shows, TeaTV gives you access to live TV streams. You can add your own Live TV channels via M3U playlist.
Here‘s how to integrate IPTV streams into TeaTV:
-
Go to Live TV > + > Import Playlist.
-
Enter a Name and M3U URL from your IPTV provider.
-
Select the playlist and click Add.
Your live channels will now appear in the Live TV section ready for streaming.
This makes TeaTV an all-in-one hub for both live and on-demand entertainment.
TeaTV Review and Guide
I‘ve been using TeaTV regularly for over a year across various devices. Here is my detailed review after extensive testing:
TeaTV Pros
-
Smooth, intuitive interface – TeaTV looks great and makes finding content very easy. Navigation is seamless.
-
Constantly updated content – New movies and shows are added rapidly, often within hours of release. Library is always growing.
-
Helpful categories – Numerous filters like genres, release year, ratings, etc make discovering new stuff a breeze.
-
Chromecast support – Send streams from TeaTV directly to your Chromecast device or TV.
-
Real-Debrid integration – As mentioned earlier, using RD links drastically improves stream quality and speed.
-
Trakt tracking – TeaTV makes keeping track of your shows simple by syncing everything through Trakt.
TeaTV Cons
-
Contains ads – You‘ll see ads when browsing content and on the playback screen. Adblockers can help with this.
-
Needs MX Player – An external player like MX Player is required for best performance. TeaTV‘s built-in player is subpar.
-
Legality concerns – Streaming copyrighted movies and shows without permission raises piracy issues. More details below.
On the whole, I‘m very impressed with TeaTV. It‘s become my go-to app for movies and shows thanks to constant updates, slick interface, and useful tools like Trakt/Real-Debrid. Performance is great across the huge content library.
For an unofficial free streaming APK, TeaTV delivers an exceptional experience that can rival premium services.
Is TeaTV Safe to Use?
Whenever installing third party apps from unknown sources, safety should be your top concern. Let‘s discuss whether TeaTV is safe to use on your Firestick or Android TV device.
I scanned the latest TeaTV APK using VirusTotal and below are the results:
Two antimalware engines flagged possible adware. This is not uncommon for free streaming apps distributed outside of official app stores.
Ads can sometimes be used for malicious purposes like phishing attempts or installing hidden malware. To be 100% safe, I strongly advise using a VPN like Surfshark when running TeaTV.
A quality VPN will encrypt all streaming data and hide your IP address. This protects your privacy, security, and identity when using any third party APKs.
Is TeaTV Legal to Use?
Now for the big question – is using TeaTV legal? Let‘s take a closer look.
The TeaTV application itself is perfectly legal to download and install. However, some of the free movies and TV shows it provides access to may be pirated copies uploaded without permission from copyright holders.
Streaming pirated content is generally illegal andclassed as copyright infringement in most countries. Downloading those files to your device makes it even worse.
That said, TeaTV does contain movies and shows that are free to watch legally:
- Older films where copyrights have expired
- Home videos uploaded by users
- Movie trailers
- Independent movies approved for free streaming by creators
- Content uploaded into the public domain
As long as you only watch those types of videos, using TeaTV does not violate any laws.
My recommendation is to leverage TeaTV‘s massive library but be selective in what you choose to stream. Stick with free public domain/creative commons content and you‘ll avoid legal risks.
