Can your Smart TV install a TV APK?
Smart TV is a broad description. The operating system determines whether your television can install an Android APK.
Android TV and other Smart TVs are different
An APK is an Android application package. A television having internet access does not automatically mean it can run Android apps. Check Settings or the manufacturer's device information for your exact operating system.
| TV platform | What to check |
|---|---|
| Android TV | Android APK installation is available on compatible devices. Hardware and version requirements still apply. |
| Google TV | Google TV uses Android TV OS. Check your device's installation controls and app compatibility. |
| Samsung Tizen | Does not install Android APKs directly. |
| LG webOS | Does not install Android APKs directly. |
| Other TV platforms | Check the manufacturer's documentation for Android app support. |
Download a TV APK for a compatible Android TV
Choose one of the seven brands in our APK directory, then follow the Android TV installation guide. Use the file from the provider domain shown on the download card.
Use your web browser as an alternative
The linked services are compatible with web browsers such as Chrome, Firefox and Safari; no app is required. Visit the provider website to view its catalogue and access options. This does not guarantee support in every television's built-in browser or every browser configuration.
What about free TV APKs for Smart TV?
The APKs in this directory are free downloads. Your device still needs to support Android APKs, and viewing access is separate. Read our free TV APK guide before choosing a provider.
