How to Install Your Amazon Fire Stick with Dish Network

You have probably already heard of the Dish Network and the Amazon Firestick. You’ll be happy to know that the two are integrated, meaning that now you can watch the Dish Network content on your Amazon Fire Stick!

If you are wondering how to install Firestick with Dish Network, you’re in the right place. Read on for a detailed installation guide for your Firestick, followed by the Dish Anywhere App installation guide on the Firestick.

The Dish Anywhere app lets you watch all of the Dish Network content on the big screen, thanks to the Firestick integration that happened in late 2017.

Install Firestick

Before you can watch the Dish Network on your TV, you need to properly set up your Amazon Firestick. That is not difficult at all if you follow our step-by-step guide:

1. Unbox your Amazon Firestick and get the power adapter. Plug it into any available power source.
2. Connect the Firestick to your TV, using the included HDMI cable. Make sure you to remember which HDMI port you used, if you have multiple ports on your TV. You will need this information later.
3. Turn on your TV. Use the Input or Source button on your TV remote. Choose the corresponding HDMI input you used a moment ago (e.g. HDMI 1).
4. Follow the on-screen instructions for pairing the Firestick remote with your TV.
5. Then, connect your Firestick to the internet. We recommend at least a 10 Mbit/s internet connection for video streaming.
6. Register your Firestick on the Amazon website. You can use your existing Amazon account or sign up for a new one.

Now you can connect it with Dish Network.
