About Mobdro
Mobdro allows you to watch free live TV on your Fire Stick, Fire TV, and Android devices. While many free IPTV apps have faded into obscurity due to dead channels and unreliable streams, Mobdro has remained a strong option for those looking for alternatives to high cable bills.
Unfortunately, it looks as though Mobdro has shut down as of February 2021.
We are not sure for how long Mobdro might be offline, but we encourage you to check out some other free streaming IPTV alternatives. While we think that Live Net TV is a good Mobdro alternative, here is our full list:

What does Mobdro do?
Mobdro offers most channels that you would find in a premium cable package in the United States and Britain and is adding more all the time. The developers of Mobdro claim that none of the channels feeds originate from them. Instead, the app aggregates all feeds of particular channels throughout the internet and serves up the one that is most reliable for you depending on connection speed, hardware, etc. Mobdro doesn’t really have much reliable, quality on-demand programming, but if all you are looking for is live cable, it is a very appealing free choice.
THIS SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE. IS IT?
Well, kind of. We did experience buffering issues on some channels, and most channels are served up in non-HD quality. This is fine for passive TV watching but can be kind of annoying when watching a sporting event or other live TV events. You don’t want to have all your friends over to watch the big game, only to be embarrassed by a slow, laggy connection that ruins the action. That’s why we always recommend getting a reliable paid IPTV service for Fire TV along with a good VPN. While they may cost you a little bit of money, the amount of frustration saved is worth its weight in gold. Best Paid IPTV Services Best VPN Services for Fire TV
