Discovery Plus is of course one of the most popular TV channels in the world. The entertainment value that it brings is just outstanding. It’s, therefore, not surprising that we’ve been getting a lot of comments on people asking how they can get Discovery Plus on Firestick.
Sadly, this channel is highly restricted. Unless you’re in the US, it may not be easy to get it. But there’s no need to worry. We have a fix around this and we’re going to show you here below.
1. Download from Amazon App Store
Now, the easiest way to get Discovery Plus on Firestick is to download it directly from the Amazon App Store. To do this, hit the home button on your remote and head to the magnifying glass at the top left corner of your screen.
On the search tool that appears, search for Discovery Plus. You’ll see the name pop up in the suggestions below.
Click it to go to its main page.
Hit Download or Get.
Give it a few minutes and that’s it.
However, even though this process looks easy, it may not work for everyone. As we have already noted above, Discovery Plus is one of the most restricted channels in the world. In that case, the simple steps above can only work for a very small number of clients who are typically located in areas where the channel is available.
So, what if the channel isn’t available in your country? Do you just leave it at that? Of course not. You can still get it anywhere you are.
2. Get a VPN
If you’re an avid Firestick TV user, then you know about VPNs. A VPN is the best way to bypass any geographical restrictions on content.
In essence, if the Discovery Plus channel is only available for US consumers, then you can use a VPN to mimic your location in the US and get the app using the simple steps above.
However, not everyone has a VPN. Yes, we know that it’s risky to stream without it. But even then, there are still many people out there that don’t see the need to invest in a VPN.
Besides, we also noticed that even when you’re connected to a US server with your VPN, you may have trouble logging into Discovery Plus. So, what’s the other alternative? Keep reading as we have some solutions for you.
3. Use the Silk Browser
The Silk Browser is an Amazon-developed search tool that you can use to access apps from the Internet. Your Firestick should come with this browser.
However, if you don’t have it, you can follow these simple steps:
- Head to the magnifying glass at the top left corner of your screen
- Search for Silk Browser
- On the results that appear, click on the app icon
- Download and install it
- Open the Amazon Silk browser
Once the browser is installed on your device, it’s time to use it to get Discovery Plus on Firestick. The good thing is that you don’t need an app for this. What you’ll do is simply log on to the main Discovery Plus website using the Silk browser.
After that, you’ll be requested to log into your account. Put in the details and that’s it. You will now be able to access content on the Discovery Plus channel using the Silk browser.
Now, I know there are a lot of people who would prefer to stream directly from the app. Yes, an app does offer an easier experience but if it’s the content that you want, there’s no reason why you can’t access it via the web.
Besides, it’s all about getting Discovery Plus on Firestick. Even if it means going through Silk, as long as the content is available for you, then why not. But as a rule of thumb, never forget to install a VPN such as IPVanish.
Conclusion
The Discovery Plus channel offers a great variety of content for anyone to enjoy.
