Frequently Asked Questions
Does Apollo Group TV work on Google TV?
Yes. Since Google TV runs on Android, you can install TiviMate or IPTV Smarters Pro directly from the Google Play Store, no sideloading required.
What's the difference between Google TV and Android TV?
Google TV is Google's newer interface layer (used on Chromecast with Google TV and some newer TVs), built on the same Android TV OS as older Android TV boxes and TVs. Both run the Play Store and support the same apps.
Do I need to sideload anything on Google TV?
No — unlike Firestick, Google TV devices have the Play Store built in, so you can install player apps directly without a separate sideloading step.
