Now, we will go over the steps to sideload Cinema HD APK onto FireStick. Sideloading an app means that the app isn’t available in the Amazon Store.

First, you need to install the Downloader App on your device. The Downloader app is required to sideload applications on Fire Stick. The APK cannot be downloaded directly from a browser.

Next, to install apps using Downloader, we will need to make a small adjustment in Firestick’s security settings.

Here’s the deal:

1. Click Find in the middle of the FireStick home screen.

Note: If you still use the older version of FireStick then select the lens icon at the top-left corner.

2. Click Search.
3. Look for the Downloader app. Click on Download or Get to download it.
4. Next, click Settings. (The gear icon is at the bottom of the screen).

Note: To continue using FireStick’s old version, click the Settings button at the top-right.

5. Click My Fire TV.
6. Next, select Developer options.
7. Click Unknown apps.

Note: If FireStick is older than the current version, go to Apps from Unknown Sources. Turn it ON. Skip Step 8.

8. Turn OFF the option to Downloader.
9. Open the Downloader application. It will launch with the Home tab selected as default. Navigate to the URL Field and click it.

10. This window allows you to use the on-screen keyboard to enter the APK source URL. Download the URL from the official website of the Cinema HD app and enter it in the URL box in the downloader app to download the APK file for Cinema HD and click GO.

11. Next, you will see the  Downloader connecting with the server. It will then download the Cinema HD APK file to your FireStick device. Let it complete the download.
12. The installation will begin on its own. The following screen will display. Use your remote’s navigation keys for the NEXT button to the bottom right. (ignore this section if you don’t see NEXT). INSTALL will replace the NEXT button. Click the INSTALL button.
