Install from Google Play Store

The easiest way to install IPTV Smarters Pro on Android TV is through the Google Play Store. From your Android TV home screen, open the Google Play Store app. Use the search function to find "IPTV Smarters Pro" or "IPTV app."

If your Android TV device does not have access to the Google Play Store, or if you need a specific version, you can sideload the APK. First, enable Install Unknown Apps from Settings > Security & Restrictions.

Download the IPTV Smarters Pro APK from our download page on your phone or computer. Use the Send Files to TV app or a USB drive to transfer the APK to your Android TV device.

Open a file manager app on your Android TV, navigate to the APK file, and select Install. Confirm the installation prompts to complete the setup. This method works on NVIDIA Shield, Chromecast with Google TV, and other Android TV boxes.
