Introduction:

CineHub needs no introduction. This uber-popular app lets you stream movies, dramas, and TV series for free. You read that right. At a time when streaming services are charging you an arm and leg for their content, you can watch all of it for free on CineHub.

No wonder, then, you want to install CineHub on your Firestick. However, the process isn’t as straightforward as installing any other app because CineHub isn’t available on the Google Play Store or the Amazon App Store. You’d have to jailbreak your Firestick to download and install it.

In this article, you’d get to know everything you need to install CineHub on your Firestick. We’ll also give you the lowdown on this app. Aside from that, we’ll explain in detail how you can install CineHub on an Android TV. Read on if you love watching HD movies and TV shows for free.
