    yes, you just download the nowtv app on to firestick
    personally i'd recommend paying for a "cough" iptv & vpn for the firestick
    you need around a min 10mb speed for it to work fine too

    A Fire Stick works fine. Can download all the apps you need on it, Netflix, Disney+, Spotify etc (but not now TV I have just found out)

    It has an Internet browser which I use for watching games on iFollow.

    Inexpensive. Usually around £20, but with black Friday coming up, you might get one for literal pennies soon (Amazon often do weird things like that).

    If you're a bit teccy minded, or know someone who is, they're very easy to jailbreak (allegedly) if you wanted to use it for IPTV etc. I've never done it myself, however know a few people who have.

    Just be prepared, you need to be reasonably tech-aware, as things change quite a lot. Don't expect to be able to just plug in a firestick and everything be there. Initial setup will be needed. Side-loading, vpn, ip blocking, Telegram & discord groups, site shutdowns...all to be expected. I have firestick with iptv and syncler+, which pretty much gives me all content known to man..

    I have one of the old generation Fire Sticks, but Now TV doesn’t appear in the App Store.

    You're right. I've just checked and it isn't there. I must have watched it on my PS4 then.
