HDO Box is an on-demand streaming app. In today’s guide, I am going to take you through the steps to install HDO Box on FireStick and Android devices.
You can also install this app on all Android and Apple devices.

HDO Box has a huge selection of video content. Its large collection of TV shows and movies makes it one of the best streaming apps available currently.
Additionally, HDO Box offers HD videos and subtitle support in over 25 languages.
The interface of the app looks elegant and is easy to navigate.
These days most apps require you to download specific media players and it’s the same with HDO Box. You need to install MediaON player to watch content on HDO Box. However, the app can be downloaded from within the HDO Box app itself. I have provided steps for the same further down.
This app plays movies with just a single click. However, you can change the server if you do not like the auto-played stream.
I didn’t encounter any ads while testing the app, so I believe the app is also ad-free.
What it lacks in features such as Real-Debrid & Trakt, it makes up in quality and the sheer quantity of the content available. You will easily find 1080p videos on this app even without Real Debrid. This app is very new; I am sure developers will soon launch these features.
Due to its extensive selection of high-quality content and features, we’ve added HDO Box to our Best FireStick Apps list.

Hi, I am Alyssa! I am a tech enthusiast and a blogger. I have been using Kodi and FireStick since 2016. I wanted to share my latest tech discoveries and knowledge with the World, which led me to start this blog in 2021. I post in-depth how-to guides for FireStick devices & Kodi in a way that is easy to understand for people of all ages. Thanks for stopping by!
After opening HDO app, I searched for a show and clicked play. It brought up install MediaOn player screen. I tried to install but received message “Don’t have permission to write data”. Therefore, I could not watch the show. What do I do?
Hi, Frankie! I just installed MediaON via HDO app after receiving your comment and it worked perfectly fine. Were you asked to allow install unknown apps for HDO box?
Secondly, is your HDO box app up-to-date? If not, please reinstall it and then try installing MediaON. Make sure to allow install unknown apps for HDO Box app if you’re using FireStick 4K Max, FireStick Lite, etc.
I will update the article shortly with MediaON app installation steps as well.
Hi this is Bob and I also cannot install mediaON. It looks like it installed and then the message cannot parse the application comes up. What do I do as this seems to be a really good program but need to fix mediaON. Thanks
Hi Bob! Which device are you using? Parse error normally occurs due to software incompatibility.
I wasn’t offered media on, it was a different programme.
Does anyone know if it’s possible to turn off the subtitles? I seem to have only one option in settings and that is to select a language, that’s it.
Any help would be most gratefully received.
Hi, you should be able to turn off subtitles while the video is playing. You should see [cc] button that you can simply click to turn off. The only case where you won’t be able to turn off subtitle is when the subtitle is coded into the video file.
Alternatively, you can also choose to turn off Auto show subtitle feature within Settings. Hope it helps.
