I don't think the app downloads onto a smart TV- thus the firestick.
If all these premium channels have a legitimate contract with Blitzen to provide their content to you, then it's all good.

However, if Blitzen is providing copyrighted content to you, without permission of the content-creator to do so, then you're paying for illegally-acquired content.

No judgment here - I sometimes do it too (for free, I'd never PAY for illegally-acquired content). But it's something you need to be aware of. If Blitzen gets caught providing this content to you, it can be shut down, and you would have no recourse. In fact, if you're caught watching it, your internet provider can shut you down, and you'd have no recourse.

I hope you're using a VPN to access your TV.
