Step-By-Step Guide to Install BeeTV 3.7.0

Ready to get BeeTV downloaded and installed? Follow this simple step-by-step guide:

Step 1) Download Downloader App

We‘ll be installing BeeTV directly from the APK file rather than an app store. This requires the "Downloader" app:

  1. From your Firestick or Android TV home screen, go to the Find section.
  2. Search for "Downloader".
  3. Select the Downloader app from the search results.
  4. Click Download or Get to install it.
  5. Wait for Downloader to finish installing.

Step 2) Enable Apps from Unknown Sources

Next, we need to enable "Unknown Sources" to permit app installs from outside the official app stores:

  1. Go to Settings > My Fire TV or Device Preferences.
  2. Select Developer Options.
  3. Turn on Apps from Unknown Sources or Install Unknown Apps.
  4. Find Downloader in the list and toggle it on.

This allows us to install apps like BeeTV directly from their APK files using Downloader.

Step 3) Download the BeeTV APK File

Now we can finally grab the latest APK file and install it:

  1. Open the Downloader app.
  2. Click the URL/text box at the top and type: https://bee.tv.apk
  3. Press Go to start the download.
  4. Once finished, click Install.
  5. Select Done after installation completes.

And that‘s it! The latest version of BeeTV (v3.7.0 as of Nov. 2023) is now installed and ready to use.

BeeTV Install Success Message

Next, let‘s look at setting up Real-Debrid and Trakt to really unlock BeeTV‘s full potential.

Set Up Real-Debrid for Higher Quality Streams

While BeeTV has lots of solid free streaming links, integrating a Real-Debrid account provides access to a whole other level of stream quality and reliability.

Here are some benefits of enabling Real-Debrid in BeeTV:

  • Far higher number of 1080p and 4K streaming links.
  • Much faster streaming speeds – no more constant buffering.
  • Bypasses ISP throttling which can slow down streaming.
  • Access to bigger file streams your ISP may normally block.

To connect your Real-Debrid account, follow these steps:

  1. Create a Real-Debrid account and grab your login details.
  2. In BeeTV, go to Settings > Login to Real-Debrid.
  3. Enter your Real-Debrid username and password.
  4. High quality debrid links will now be available when selecting a source!

The difference in stream quality and speed is night and day when you have Real-Debrid enabled. It‘s a game-changer that makes services like BeeTV even better.

Remove Annoying Ads with Surfshark

Like many free apps, BeeTV contains some annoying in-app banner ads and video ads that interrupt your viewing experience.

The good news is that you can easily block these ads using a good VPN like Surfshark that includes an ad-blocking feature:

  1. Install the Surfshark app from the app store.
  2. Open Surfshark and go to Features.
  3. Enable the CleanWeb ad-blocking feature.
  4. Connect to a Surfshark server and ads will automatically be removed from BeeTV!

Aside from removing ads, Surfshark can help keep your streaming activities private and secure your digital data. It‘s a worthwhile investment that will improve apps like BeeTV in more ways than one.

Integrate Trakt to Track Watched Content

Trakt is a must-have tool for any cord-cutter. Connecting your Trakt account to BeeTV provides awesome features like:

  • Automatic show/movie watch tracking across apps.
  • Viewing statistics and history.
  • Get personalized recommendations for new content to watch.
  • Sync your watching progress across devices.

Here are the steps to link your Trakt profile:

  1. Create a Trakt account at trakt.tv if you don‘t have one.
  2. In BeeTV, go to Settings > Login to Trakt.tv.
  3. Click the prompt to generate a unique code.
  4. On the Trakt website, go to Connect Apps and enter the code.

That‘s all it takes! Trakt will now automatically track the movies and shows you watch through BeeTV.

Customizing BeeTV to Your Preferences

Once you have BeeTV installed, take some time to dive into the settings and customize the app to your preferences for the best viewing experience:

  • Use the TV Calendar to see upcoming episodes of your favorite shows.
  • Adjust subtitle size, color and language in the player.
  • Use the search bar to quickly find titles.
  • Change scraper source if a stream isn‘t working.
  • Enable Real-Debrid for vastly improved stream quality.
  • Block ads by installing Surfshark and turning on CleanWeb.
  • Connect Trakt to track watched content and get recommendations.

Also try playing around with the following player settings during video playback:

  • Video Quality – Manually select between 480p, 720p, 1080p etc.
  • Subtitles – Enable, change language, alter size/color.
  • Audio Track – Switch between different audio tracks.
  • Scrapers – Change scraping source if current stream lags.

Taking the time to personalize BeeTV will ensure the best viewing experience tailored to your needs.

How BeeTV Compares to Other Top Streaming Apps

BeeTV has emerged as one of the most popular free streaming apps, but it has some stiff competition from apps like Cinema HD, Nova TV, CatMouse etc.
