Vu IPTV Player is a perfect match for Android TV. With one app, you can turn any compatible Android TV into a full IPTV hub for live channels, sports, movies, and series – as long as you connect it to a legal IPTV subscription.
In this guide, you'll see how to install Vu IPTV Player on Android TV using Google Play or a trusted APK source, and how to pair it with our fully licensed Vu IPTV subscription for secure, reliable IPTV streaming.
Prerequisites before you install Vu IPTV Player on Android TV
A clean Android TV installation starts with a few basics. Having these ready avoids most issues people run into when setting up IPTV apps.
You will need:
- An Android TV device or Android TV box connected to your TV
- A stable internet connection (20–30 Mbps or higher for HD and 4K)
- An active, fully licensed IPTV subscription from our Vu IPTV service (45 000+ TV Channels and 140 000+ VODs)
- Your IPTV login details (M3U link or Xtream-style username, password, and server URL)
- Access to the Google Play Store on your Android TV (or a browser for APK fallback)
Step 1 – Install Vu IPTV Player from Google Play on Android TV
The easiest and safest way to install Vu IPTV Player on Android TV is through the official Google Play Store listing. On our Vu IPTV Player download page, we provide direct links to the correct app:
Official Android / Google Play link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=vuiptv.player
Install steps on Android TV:
- Turn on your Android TV and go to the home screen.
- Open the Google Play Store app.
- In the search bar, type Vu IPTV Player and look for the official app that matches our icon and name.
- Select the app and click Install.
- Wait for the installation to finish, then choose Open to launch Vu IPTV Player.
Step 2 – Alternative APK installation method (if needed)
Some Android TV boxes or region-limited devices may not display Vu IPTV Player in Google Play. In that case, you can install it using a trusted APK source in a similar way to Firestick, but the process depends on your device settings.
Important safety note
Only use APK files from official or clearly trusted sources. On our download page, we always point you to verified links for Vu IPTV Player.
If you are not comfortable with sideloading APKs, stick to the Google Play method or contact our support team for advice about your specific Android TV model.
In many cases, Android TV users never need the APK method because the Google Play version works out of the box. Treat APK sideloading as a backup option only when truly necessary.
Step 3 – Connect Vu IPTV Player to your legal IPTV subscription
Just like on Firestick, Vu IPTV Player on Android TV does not include channels by default. To actually watch content, you must connect it to a legal IPTV provider. Our Vu IPTV service is fully licensed and optimized for Vu IPTV Player.
Connection steps on Android TV:
- Order your IPTV plan from our IPTV packages page or request a 24-hour free IPTV trial.
- After approval, you'll receive your IPTV credentials by email.
- Open Vu IPTV Player on your Android TV and go to the login screen.
- Choose the correct login mode (M3U playlist or Xtream-style portal).
- Carefully enter your username, password, and server URL exactly as shown in the email.
- Allow Vu IPTV Player to sync channels, categories, and the EPG. This can take a few minutes on the first launch.
- Once syncing is done, start browsing live TV, sports, movies, and series.
