Your device

  1. Install Downloader

    On the TV, open the Play Store and install the free “Downloader” app.

  2. Allow installation

    Settings → Apps → Security & restrictions → Unknown sources, then turn on Downloader. On some Google TV models, first turn on developer mode: Settings → System → About, then click “Android TV OS build” 7 times.

  3. Type the address

    In Downloader, enter modeltv.app/apk and confirm. The ModelTV download starts.

  4. Install and open

    Choose “Install”, then “Open”. Downloader then offers to delete the file: accept, you no longer need it.

Menu names vary slightly between models. Downloader is a free app from a third-party developer, not affiliated with ModelTV.

You can also type an M3U address or an Xtream account with the remote.
