I am sure you are all aware of the issues going on with TV Addons/Indigo/Kodi Addon Installer meaning that a lot of these add-ons are currently not working meaning we cannot get the free content we all know and love.
However, do not worry.
There is an alternative to Kodi video addons such as Exodus/Phoenix, Specto and Zem TV which allows you to watch HD (1080p and 4k) videos instantly on your Android device such as an Amazon Fire TV Stick.
This addon is called “Terrarium TV” and is quick and easy to install and will be a great replacement/alternative while we wait for things to blow over.
The videos on this addon are instant and there is no lag or buffering.
So while we wait for the Kodi 17.3 builds and addons to be fixed and resolved please follow these steps to install Terrarium TV.
In this guide we will be installing Terrarium TV onto an Amazon Firestick, however this will work for any Android device.
If you don’t already have an Amazon Fire TV Stick please feel free to purchase one from Amazon by clicking here clicking here.

This process may seem a little tricky at first but I promise once you have done it once you will be sorted for life and the process is a lot easier the second time round if you need to do it again.But luckily, once you have this addon installed you should not need to use any other Kodi 17.3 addons such as Exodus or Phoenix as this is such a good replacement or alternative.

Once you have opened Terrarium TV for the first time on your Amazon Fire TV Stick give it a minute or so to finish its initial loading/refreshing of latest TV shows/movies for you to watch, trying to use the app straightaway when you first open it may cause it to freeze or crash while it loads/checks for updates.

Terrarium TV can also be installed onto your Amazon Firestick without using a computer. This is done using ES File Explorer on your device.If you would like to do this instead of using a PC and ADBLink then please follow this tutorial, but instead of entering “kodi.tv” and downloading the Kodi APK file via ES File Explorer simply enter “https://terrariumtv.com/” and click “→Download Terrarium TV (1.6.3)←” to download the Terrarium TV APK and install it.
