Does your home screen have tabs like For you, Movies and Apps? Then it’s Google TV — use the Google TV guide instead.

Step by step

  1. Install the Downloader app

    Open the Google Play Store from your apps, search for Downloader and choose Downloader by AFTVnews, then Install. It’s free.

  3. Allow Downloader to install apps

    The TV says it isn’t allowed to install apps from this source. Choose Settings, switch Downloader on, then press Back.

    No message? Turn it on in Settings › Apps › Security & Restrictions › Unknown sources (on NVIDIA SHIELD and older boxes: Settings › Device Preferences › Security & restrictions › Unknown sources). No developer mode needed.

  4. Choose Install

    If Google Play Protect warns about the app, choose Details (or More details), then Install anyway. Showvee is new, so Play Protect doesn’t know it yet.

Showvee is a player only. It contains no channels or other content. Use it only with content you have the right to watch.

That’s it — Showvee is installed

If something goes wrong

Downloader says “Unknown Sources is disabled”

Turn on developer mode: go to Settings › Device Preferences › About (newer boxes: Settings › System › About), highlight Build (or Android TV OS build) and press Select 7 times, quickly. Then try the download again.

“Blocked by Play Protect”

Choose Details, then Install anyway. If it offers to scan the app, choose Scan app and then install.

“App not installed”

A copy of Showvee signed differently is already installed — for example one from Google Play. Uninstall it (Settings › Apps › Showvee › Uninstall), then install again. Note your playlist details first.

Will Showvee update itself?

Yes. The first time it offers an update, the box asks whether Showvee may install apps. Switch it on once and later updates install with one press.
