How to Install Downloader on Android TV (Step-by-Step Guide)

Android devices are among the best platforms for IPTV streaming because they support both official apps and third-party APKs. Whether you own a Sony Bravia, Philips, TCL, Hisense, Sharp, Panasonic, Mi TV, or a streaming device such as the Nvidia Shield, Chromecast with Google TV, Android TV Box, or even an Android-powered projector, the process is almost the same.

To sideload apps, the most reliable tool is the Downloader app by AFTVnews. This guide will show you two methods to install Downloader on Android TV:

Method 1: From the Google Play Store (easiest).
Method 2: Manually via APK (for devices without Play Store).

🔹 Method 2: Install Downloader on Android TV Without Google Play Store

Some Android TVs don’t have the Google Play Store (this happens with certain Chinese brands or custom Android systems). Don’t worry—you can still install the Downloader app manually using a USB stick.

Follow these easy steps:

✅ Step 1: Download the APK

On your computer or phone, open a browser.
Go to this link: https://www.aftvnews.com/downloader.apk
Download and save the APK file.

✅ Step 2: Copy to a USB Drive

Insert a USB stick into your computer or phone.
Copy the Downloader APK file onto the USB.

✅ Step 3: Plug USB Into Your Android TV

Insert the USB stick into one of your Android TV’s USB ports.

✅ Step 4: Open the File Manager

On your Android TV, open the File Manager (most TVs have one preinstalled).
Go to USB Storage and find the Downloader APK file.

✅ Step 5: Enable Unknown Sources (First Time Only)

If your TV asks for permission, allow it.
You can also do this manually:
- Go to Settings > Device Preferences > Security & Restrictions > Install Unknown Apps.
- Choose File Manager and set it to Allow.

✅ Step 6: Install the Downloader APK

Select the APK file on your USB.
Click Install.
Wait until the installation finishes.

✅ Step 7: Open Downloader

After installation, open the Downloader app.
Grant permissions when asked.
Now you can use it the same way as in Method 1 (entering codes or direct links).

🎉 Final Result

That’s it! You now have Downloader installed on your Android TV.

Use Method 1 (Play Store) if your TV supports it.
Use Method 2 (USB APK sideload) if your TV does not have Play Store.

This way, any Android device can run IPTV apps.
