For frequent users, there’s even an option to add Pluto TV to the Firestick home screen. That way, you’ll create a shortcut to ensure easy access. Here are the steps to do so:
- Firstly, you need to press the Menu button on your Firestick remote next to the Home key.

Live Pluto TV
Once the app opens, you’ll see on the left part of the screen three options: Live TV, Free Movies & TV shows, and Activate with Live TV as a default section.
There’s an extensive list of channels and an EPG where you can find your favorite shows and choose seasons or find episodes you want to see.
