Requirements
| Operating system | Android TV OS 7.0 or newer |
|---|---|
| Free storage | About 50 MB |
| RAM | 2 GB or more for smooth HD |

Step 1: Install the Downloader app
- Open the Google Play Store on your TV.
- Search for Downloader (by AFTVnews) and install it.
Step 2: Allow Downloader to install apps
- Google TV only: first turn on developer mode. Go to Settings → System → About and click Android TV OS build seven times.
- Go to Settings → Apps → Security & restrictions → Unknown sources (on some TVs: Device Preferences → Security & restrictions).
- Turn it on for Downloader.
Step 3: Download and install Soccery TV
- Open Downloader and type soccerytvs.com/download in the address box, then click Go.
- Scroll to the green Download APK button and click it.
- When the download finishes, choose Install.
- Click Done, then Delete to remove the leftover APK file and free up space.
- Open Soccery TV from your Apps row. Long-press the icon to move it to your favourites.
Using Soccery TV with a TV remote
- Use the D-pad to move between matches and the centre button to open one.
- If a stream buffers, open the server list and switch to another link.
- Lower the quality to 720p if your Wi-Fi is weak; most TVs look fine at 720p from a normal viewing distance.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|

| "App not installed" | Uninstall the old version and clear storage space, then install again. |
