Google TV Setup Guide

1.  Find and install the Downloader app by searching for “Downloader app” using either the voice search or the text search. You need to include “app” in your search or else it won’t come up. An alternative way to find the app is to go to the Apps tab and scroll down to the Tools category. Downloader should be one of the first apps listed.
 

2.  Once the app is installed, don’t bother launching it yet. You first need to enable Developer mode so that you can allow Downloader to install apps form unknown sources. To do so, go to the device’s Settings screen. You can get there by either selecting your circle profile icon in the upper right of the home screen, or by pressing and holding the Home button on your remote.

3.  Once you’re on the Settings screen, navigate to System and then to the About menu.

4.  Scroll down to the Android TV OS Build item at the very bottom and repeatedly select it over and over. Nothing will happen at first as you select the menu item, but eventually a message at the bottom will appear saying that “You are now [#] steps away from being a developer.” Keep selecting the Android TV OS Build menu item until you see You are now a developer! at the bottom of the screen.
 

5.  You can now enable Downloader to install apps from unknown sources. You do this by navigating to Settings > Apps > Security & Restrictions > Unknown Sources. From there, select Downloader to flip the setting to Allowed.
 

6.  Now you can launch Downloader. Do so by finding the icon at the end of the Your apps list on the For You screen or the Apps screen.
