Get “Downloader”
Search the Amazon Appstore for the free Downloader app and install it.
Enter the link

Frequently asked questions
What is HudsonTV?
HudsonTV is a media player for the living room. It plays the live TV, movies and series from a provider you already subscribe to — presented in a fast, beautiful guide built for the remote. It is not a content service: it does not include, sell, host, or stream any channels or media of its own.
Does it come with channels or movies?
No. HudsonTV ships with no content whatsoever. You supply your own lawfully obtained M3U playlist or Xtream Codes login from a provider you pay for, and HudsonTV simply plays it. Think of it like a web browser — it’s a tool to view what you already have access to.
What providers and formats work?
Any standard Xtream Codes login (server URL + username + password) or M3U/M3U8 playlist URL. You can add several providers at once and HudsonTV merges them into one lineup, with EPG, catch-up and recording where your provider supports it.
Which devices are supported?
Amazon Fire TV (Stick, Cube, TV), Android TV & Google TV, and Android phones & tablets. There’s an iOS companion, and a Roku build is on the way.
How many streams / can I use it on multiple TVs?
HudsonTV supports multiple household profiles whose favorites and Continue Watching roam between TVs. How many devices can stream at the same time is set by your provider’s connection limit, not by the app — including the side-by-side 2-up multi-view, which opens two streams at once.
Is HudsonTV affiliated with my provider?
No. HudsonTV is an independent player and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or responsible for any content provider, channel, or rights holder. What you can watch, and whether you’re permitted to, is entirely determined by the provider you choose to connect.
