What is Terrarium TV?

Terrarium TV is an Android app that gathers media from various sources around the web.  Then Terrarium TV indexes all that media (video files, mostly) and presents the list of media to you.

• Notice:  The nature of Terrarium TV’s sources is unknown.  Therefore, we strongly recommend you use a Secure VPN when watching Terrarium TV to hide your IP address.

The way Terrarium TV works is similar to Kodi.  So, it can be said that Terrarium TV is a Kodi alternative.  In fact, it’s one of the best Kodi alternatives.

Which Devices Run Terrarium TV?

I tried Terrarium TV and successfully streamed entire movies on these devices:

• Amazon Fire TV Stick (1st Generation – the slower, older one without Alexa voice remote)
• Amazon Fire TV Box (2nd Generation – with Alexa voice remote)
• Android devices (smartphones and tablets, like my Samsung Galaxy S6) definitely support Terrarium TV, since Terrarium TV is actually an Android app that we’re “sideloading” to Firestick.

So, Terrarium TV should work just fine on all Amazon Fire Sticks and Fire TVs (and most likely even Amazon Fire tablets!).
