Importance of having 2 Services (Combo Plan) Only $45/monthly)
Important Note: Sometimes maintenance is in progress, which can cause certain channels, sections, or even the entire app to go offline for a bit. That’s just part of how things work in this business. We’re talking about a price increase of $15 more a month—about 50 cents a day—for peace of mind. If patience isn’t your strong suit, it’s smart to have at least two services or apps so you can switch during interruptions and avoid missing anything. If only one or two channels are down, it’s likely an issue on the provider’s end, but if most of your channels are affected while others have no problems, the issue is probably on your side.
NEW NEW Multi App for Black Rose and Hive
For those with the combo package, there's no need to have two separate icons on your Fire Stick to switch between programs. The latest player lets you run Hive and Black Rose within the same app under one icon, saving space on your Fire Stick.

We Have Noticed Blocking and Internet Speed Restriction (Throttling)
We’ve noticed that some Internet Service Providers (ISPs) slow down speeds during peak times or even block access completely. While this practice is illegal, many ISPs get away with it. Luckily, we have free solutions to address these issues.
Using a VPN (Virtual Private Network) can hide your activity from your ISP, preventing them from controlling your speeds or blocking access. It’s easy to set up—just download the VPN app on your Firestick and configure it with an email address.
The free version supports one device per email, so if you need to use it on multiple devices simultaneously, you’ll just need additional emails from your household.
Experiencing buffering or blocked access or Channels playing then stop and have to load another channel and then back to the one your watching? Internet throttling might be to blame.
Many ISPs engage in bandwidth throttling, limiting users’ speeds without their knowledge. Even if you haven’t reached your monthly data cap, ISPs might throttle your connection to specific sites, areas, or during high-traffic times to manage congestion or increase profits.
This is why it’s important to fight back and protect your internet experience. A VPN can help you bypass throttling and regain control of your connection.
You can download on firestick from main screen and just ask for Proton VPN
Lot of buffering? Easy Fix and Free!!
Internet Service Providers (ISPs) have recently been observed to manipulate customer internet speeds, including throttling and blocking access, potentially due to subscriber migration to streaming services not of their own.
A highly effective solution involves utilizing a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to mask the IP address of your streaming device from your ISP. This prevents them from interfering with your device's performance. The setup process typically takes around 10 minutes and can be done at no cost. ProtonVPN.com is a recommended service. Should you require assistance, we are available to provide support over the phone.
For instance, a client using AT&T experienced connectivity issues during setup. By temporarily connecting their Firestick to my mobile hotspot, the device functioned correctly. However, upon switching back to their AT&T internet, the issue reappeared. After implementing a VPN, the client's service was restored and has been operating without problems. This illustrates one of the many methods ISPs may employ to manipulate internet access on your firestick as well as computers and other devices that require internet. Most will notice with streaming as that requires higher sppeds compared to phones, tablets and computers.
