Install it on your TV
CRTVT TV OS installs straight from our site, outside Google Play. It takes about five minutes, once.
- Get Downloader. On the TV, open Google Play, search for Downloader (by AFTVnews) and install it.
- Allow it to install apps. Open Settings → Apps → Security & restrictions → Unknown sources and switch Downloader on. On some TVs this sits under Settings → Device Preferences → Security & restrictions.
- Install CRTVT Home. Open Downloader, type crtvt.com/tv and press Go. When the download finishes, press Install.
- Make it home. Press Home on the remote. If the TV asks which app to use, choose CRTVT Home and Always.
- Add the apps you want. Back in Downloader, type each app’s code and install it the same way: crtvt.com/tv/flight, /tv/pitwall, /tv/pulse, /tv/worldtv, /tv/radio, /tv/noor, /tv/letters. Each app appears on CRTVT Home once installed.
From a phone or computer instead: download the file below, copy it to a USB stick, plug it into the TV and open it with any file manager.
