If you have a Samsung TV, you probably love taking advantage of the Samsung TV Plus streaming services. You can get over 100 channels of content if you are a viewer in the United States. If you don’t have a Samsung TV, you’re probably wondering if you can get Samsung TV Plus on another streaming device, such as the Firestick.

Currently, the Samsung TV Plus app is only available on Samsung devices. This means you cannot download the app on any other service, including Amazon Firestick. There are some ways you can work around this though, including the Kodi Addon.  

You might be wondering exactly what the Kodi Addon is and how to use it to get Samsung TV Plus. Don’t worry, we will go over all the steps in this article. We will also discuss Amazon’s content streaming that compares to the Samsung TV Plus app.

If you’d like to learn more about Firestick, take a look at this article. Now, let’s look at how the Kodi Add-On works.

How Does the Kodi Add-On Work?

Now that you have the Kodi Add-On on your Firestick, you will be able to access all the features of the Samsung TV Plus app. This means you can use all the channels for live streaming including:

  • CBS News
  • Stadium
  • Tastemade
  • Outdoor America
  • Court TV
  • VICE
  • Weather Nation
  • Newsy
  • Yahoo Finance
  • Cheddar News
  • ABC News Live 

Using the Kodi Add-On basically tricks your device into thinking you have a Samsung TV or a Samsung device that allows you to use the Samsung TV Plus. Using the Kodi Add-on is completely legal and safe for your devices. 

Some people choose to use a VPN when installing the Kodi Add-on to ensure privacy when streaming. However, it’s not necessary and you can use the services without a VPN. 

What If I Don’t Want to Use the Kodi Add-On?

Unfortunately, using the Kodi Add-On is the only way to get the Samsung TV Plus on your Firestick. If you don’t want to use it, you will have to get a Samsung TV or a Samsung device so you can stream with the app. 

If you are committed to using your Firestick though, you can always use the content streaming on the Firestick itself. 

The Amazon Firestick has its own channels including sports and news that you can stream. Some of the options are free, while others you need to pay extra for or make an account. The most popular streaming services and channels on the Firestick are:

  • Hallmark Movies Now
  • Pluto TV
  • A&E
  • Fox Now 
  • Starz
  • Netflix
  • Hulu
  • Comedy Central 
  • Showtime 
  • Tubi TV
  • CBS All Access
  • ABC
  • AMC
  • HBO Now
  • HBO Go 

These services rival those on the Samsung TV Plus, so you might find you don’t get the Samsung app at all unless there is a specific channel or show you want to watch. 

Final Thoughts 

Getting the Samsung TV Plus app is possible with the Kodi Add-On. You can also use Firestick to get free and paid channels if that option suits you better.
