KastooKastoo works on TVs with Android TV or Google TV (Sony, TCL, Philips, Xiaomi, Hisense with Google TV…), on the Chromecast with Google TV and on any Android TV box. It can be used entirely with the remote: no mouse or touchscreen needed.
⚠️ Very soon it will be on Google Play for TV and will update itself. In the meantime, it is installed with the APK file by following these steps.
Install it with Downloader
- Install the Downloader appOn the TV, open Google Play, search for Downloader (by AFTVnews) and install it. It's free.
- Allow Downloader to install appsOn Google TV: go to Settings → System → About, scroll down to Android TV OS build and press OK seven times in a row until it says you are now a developer. Then, in Settings → Apps → Security & restrictions → Unknown sources, turn on Downloader. On older Android TV models: Settings → Device Preferences → Security & restrictions → Unknown sources. The names vary slightly depending on the brand.
- Type the codeOpen Downloader and type the code 3090582 (or the address kastoo.es/apk). Press “Go” and the latest version will download.
- Install and open KastooWhen the download finishes, press “Install” and then “Open”. Kastoo will appear in your TV's row of apps.
đź’ˇ To keep it handy, on the home screen hold down OK on Kastoo and choose the option to add it to favourites or move it (depends on the model).
After installing it
- Add your list from your phone by scanning the QR code: how to add a list.
- If you already have a licence on another device, activate it here with your code: same licence on several devices.
- Learn the remote shortcuts: remote and keyboard buttons.
If something isn't working
- You can't find “Unknown sources”: on Google TV it only appears after turning on developer mode (the step of pressing seven times). Also look for it under Settings → Privacy or Settings → Security.
- Downloader says it can't install: check that the unknown sources permission is turned on for Downloader, not for another app.
- The picture keeps cutting out: see a channel won't play or keeps cutting out.
