Now that you've enabled the installation of unknown apps, you can download the OnStream APK file from a trusted source (like APKPure or APKMirror) directly on your Android TV:
Option 1: Using a Web Browser on Android TV
- Open a web browser (e.g., Puffin TV Browser) on your Android TV.
- Search for the OnStream APK on a reputable website like APKPure or APKMirror.
- Download the APK file to your Android TV.
Option 2: Using a USB Drive
- On your computer, download the OnStream APK file.
- Transfer the APK to a USB flash drive.
- Insert the USB drive into your Android TV.
- Use a file manager app (such as X-plore File Manager or ES File Explorer) to navigate to the USB drive and locate the APK file.
3. Install the APK
Once you've downloaded the OnStream APK file, follow these steps to install it:
- Use a File Manager to find the APK file you downloaded.
- Select the APK file to begin the installation.
- Confirm the installation when prompted by clicking Install.
- Once the installation is complete, you can open the OnStream app directly or find it in your Apps menu.
4. Open and Use OnStream
After the app is installed, you can open it from your app list and start using it as you would on any other Android device.
Optional: Use Downloader App (If Available)
You can also use the Downloader app (available from the Google Play Store for Android TV) to directly download APKs from the web and install them.
Make sure to only download APKs from trusted sources to avoid potential security risks.
