Connecting your TV to the Internet

Android TV™ Setup Guide

Connecting your TV to the Internet lets you download apps and games and enjoy online video services, like you can with smartphones and tablets. This guide explains how to set up your TV to use those features.

You won't need to use this guide if you only want to watch regular TV programs.

First, you'll need to connect your TV to the Internet via a wireless (Wi-Fi) or wired connection. You will need an Internet connection: for details consult your Internet service provider. Skip this step if your TV is already connected to the Internet.
