giddyup Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Bear with me as I'm a complete novice to this kind of thing. I want to install BeeTV (cracked) to my Sony Android TV so I downloaded the APK file from a torrent site and transferred to a USB drive. I also installed a Downloader from the Play Store, but when I open the USB stick it shows it as empty, but the file is definitely there, so what am I doing wrong?

GroveHillWanderer Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 I tried using the USB method to get apk files onto my Android TV device (a Xiaomi Mi Box S as it happens) but I found it a bit cumbersome. I also found, as you apparently have that the file manager on the Android TV box sometimes wouldn't read the USB stick properly and wouldn't find the apk files. Other times it would, so it was a bit frustrating as you never knew it it was going to work or not. I found this, a purely software-based approach which I think is a lot easier. Send Files to TV I'm just not 100% sure, because it's a while ago and I'm not in front of my TV right now, if the apk is directly installable on the Android TV device via the Playstore but I think it is. It's certainly available on the Playstore for Android phones or tablets. Once you've transferred the files to the Android TV device, you also need to use your file manager to "find" and install the transferred .apk file. I use FX but there are a number of different file managers you could use, so if you already have one you like, you could use that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am on holiday & only have my IPhone with me at so can’t check Play Store but the filelinked site is here https://www.filelinked.com/ once you’ve installed it you will need a site code & PIN number, all easily found on the Internet but I will PM you the one I use. Once in, you just click on the button to download & install & voila, app is available & ready to use ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn't know that BeeTV has an official website where you can download the app, without any malware added? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giddyup Posted January 3, 2021 Author Share Posted January 3, 2021 Filelinked won't install on my Sony Android TV. I get to the stage where I have to put in my code but after that it asks to install a VPN which I don't have at the moment, so I can't hit the "Continue" button.

jojothai Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Getting the APK installed can be difficult. I have a new SONY smart android tv. Tried some installers including APK installer would not work for me. I found recommendations to use "file commander" That worked to load my tv apk i have that is not in the app store. But after install i cannot see the app on my tv menu. I also loaded "app manager". When i open this app i can see my app in their list is loaded, i click and app manager gives options including " launch app". Click this and i open my app ok. Suggest that you try file commander.

Then I must have misunderstood your original post. It said, "when I open the USB stick it shows it as empty, but the file is definitely there." So from that I thought your problem was in even being able to "see" the files at all - and if your device can't detect the files, then it definitely can't install them. So are you saying the problem is actually something else and if so, what are the symptoms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have got the files downloaded but I can't complete the install because it doesn't seem to recognise whatever code I use, I can't access the Complete button.

Susco Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 (edited) I could help the OP, because he can download the app from the official website, directly to his TV. No downloader, installer of filelinked needed. Shame he doesn't see my posts, as he has me on ignore ???? Edited January 3, 2021 by Susco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delight Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Have you installed APK Installer. This you need to do. Get from Play Store. With this installed and the specific APK file on your memory stick -just follow the directions on the APK installer. I did it 2 days ago Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
