🛠️ Before installing Prime TV
Before you download the latest Prime TV version, start by removing any older version already installed on the screen. This step matters. Installing over an old build can cause problems with opening the app, logging in, or loading content properly.
Here’s the path used on the TV settings menu:
- Open Settings from the remote.
- Choose All Settings.
- Scroll down to Applications.
- Find Prime TV.
- Select Uninstall.
- Confirm with OK.
Once the uninstall is complete, exit back out to the main screen.
📥 Open Downloader and enter the Prime TV code
After removing the old version, open the Downloader app. If you have not used Downloader before, it helps to know that the newer interface gives you a full keyboard when you move to the search field in the middle and press OK.
If you only want the number pad, choose the # symbol first. That switches the keyboard to numbers only, which makes entering the code faster.
Enter this Downloader code exactly:
8484274
Then press the checkmark or Enter on the keyboard.
After that, wait about five seconds without pressing anything. The page will redirect automatically. Once the next page appears, move to the on-screen options and press OK to continue through the download prompts.
If you regularly install TV apps this way, this guide on installing an Android TV app via Downloader is also useful for understanding the general process.
📦 Download and install the app
The Prime TV app file is around 17 MB, so the download time depends on your internet speed. Once the file finishes downloading, the TV will ask whether you want to install the application.
Choose Install.
When installation finishes, do not rush past the cleanup step. Press Done first, not Open.
This is where a lot of people skip an important detail. After installation, Downloader keeps the APK file unless you delete it manually. Those leftover files use internal storage and can contribute to lag or slow performance on some TVs.
So after pressing Done:
- Select Delete.
- Confirm Delete again.
That removes the installation package and keeps the screen cleaner and lighter.
🏠 Find Prime TV on the home screen
Now press the Home button on the remote and check whether Prime TV appears on the main screen. In many cases, it will show up toward the end of the apps row.
If you do not see it immediately, scroll across your installed applications until you find it.
🔐 Enter the activation code
Open Prime TV and wait for it to load. If the app asks for a code, enter:
2026
Then press the checkmark or Enter on the keyboard, move down to the confirmation option, and press OK.
Once that is done correctly, the app logs in and opens normally. At that point, the sections inside Prime TV should work without any issue.
✅ The full Prime TV setup in short
If you want the quick version, this is the exact order:
- Delete the old Prime TV version from Applications.
- Open Downloader.
- Enter code 8484274.
- Wait for the redirect page.
- Continue the prompts and install the app.
- Press Done.
- Delete the leftover APK file.

💡 Small details that make a big difference
A few simple points can save time and avoid problems during installation:
- Always uninstall the old version first. This reduces conflicts with the updated app.
- Use the exact Downloader code. A single wrong digit will take you somewhere else or fail entirely.
- Wait during the redirect. There is a short pause of a few seconds before the page changes.
- Delete the APK after installation. This helps preserve storage space and can reduce sluggishness.
- Use the correct activation code. For this version, the code is 2026.

If Downloader itself is not installed yet, you will need to set that up first before using the numeric code method. Downloader is commonly used on Android TV and Fire TV devices for direct APK installation. You can also read more about it on the official Downloader app resource page.
