A Fire TV Stick is the lowest-cost hardware route to digital signage: plug it into any TV, open your screen's player URL in the Silk browser, and manage everything else from the TVpilot dashboard. No proprietary media player, no monthly hardware fees.
Free plan, no credit card required. Paid plans from €5/month.
TVpilot runs on the Fire TV Stick through the free Amazon Silk browser, so there is nothing to sideload and no developer mode to enable. Any Fire TV Stick that can install Silk works.
Sign up free and click "Add screen". Choose Fire TV Stick as the device type and you get a short player URL for that screen.
On the Fire TV, search the app store for "Amazon Silk browser" (free, made by Amazon) and install it.
In Silk, type the short play URL from your dashboard. Your screen connects and shows its assigned playlist immediately.
Switch Silk to fullscreen and bookmark the page so you can reopen it in two clicks after a restart. Content updates from the dashboard from then on.
Once the Stick shows your player URL, you never touch the TV again for content changes.
Images, videos, web pages and PDFs in one playlist, with drag-and-drop ordering and transitions. Build it once, reuse it across screens.
Show the lunch menu at noon and the evening promo after five: content can be scheduled per time slot and per day of the week.
No designer needed. Describe a promo, menu or welcome screen in a short brief and AI Studio generates a designed signage screen for you.
The dashboard shows online/offline status and heartbeats for every screen, so you know a display went dark before a customer tells you.
Mount the TV either way: each screen has its own orientation setting and content adapts to it.
Start free with one screen. When you add locations, the same dashboard manages the whole fleet, from €5/month for five screens.
Not yet. TVpilot runs on the Fire TV Stick through the Silk browser: you open your screen's player URL once, go fullscreen, and manage all content from the dashboard. It behaves like a signage player without needing an app install.
Any Fire TV Stick that can install the Amazon Silk browser works. For smooth video playback a recent model (Fire TV Stick 4K or newer) is the safer choice; for mostly static images and menus, any Stick is fine.
In the Fire TV display settings, turn off the screensaver and sleep timer (or set them to the maximum). Combined with fullscreen Silk, the player then runs continuously.
Open Silk and tap the bookmark you saved: the screen reconnects and resumes its playlist. Because the Stick has no auto-start for browser pages, this one manual step is the main trade-off versus a Raspberry Pi setup, where TVpilot auto-recovers.
Yes. Web pages are a first-class playlist item, so you can rotate a live dashboard, your Instagram page, or any URL alongside images and videos.
The software is free for 1 screen with full features, no credit card required. Starter is €5/month for up to 5 screens, Pro €19/month for up to 25. The only hardware is the Stick and a TV.
Use the hardware you already own; the software starts at €0.
All plans include a 14-day free trial. No credit card required to start.
Create a free account, add a screen, open one URL in Silk, and your Fire TV Stick digital signage is live tonight.
