How do I install it?
Our app is installed by sideloading with the Downloader app. It takes about two minutes, and you only do it once. Full step-by-step instructions are on our install page.
🔌 Streaming Players
Plug one into your TV’s HDMI port. This is what most of our customers use
Amazon Fire TV
The easiest way to watch DesiGrounds on your television. Our first recommendation.
- Fire TV Stick 4K & 4K Max
- Fire TV Cube
- Quick 2-minute setup
Note: the Fire TV Stick 4K Select and the 2026 Fire TV Stick HD run Amazon’s new Vega OS and cannot install our app. Every older Fire OS Stick works fine.
Google TV Streamer 4K
Google’s current streaming box. 4K HDR with 32 GB of storage.
- Google TV Streamer (4K)
- Google TV, 4K HDR
- Confirmed working
Xiaomi TV Stick 4K
A compact stick that hides behind the television. Google TV built in, and inexpensive.
- Xiaomi TV Stick 4K (2nd Gen)
- Google TV, 4K HDR
- Plugs into any HDMI port
Xiaomi TV Box
The set-top version, for a shelf under the television. Same Google TV system as the stick.
- Xiaomi TV Box S (2nd Gen)
- Google TV, 4K HDR
- Also works: older Mi Box S
onn. 4K Streaming Device
Walmart’s own Google TV player. Usually the least expensive device that runs our app properly.
- onn. 4K Streaming Box & 4K Pro
- Google TV, 4K HDR
- Best value for money
Nvidia Shield TV
The premium Android TV player. Fast, and it upscales lower-quality channels nicely.
- Shield TV & Shield TV Pro
- Android TV, 4K HDR
- Any other Android TV box also works
📺 Smart TVs
If your TV already runs Android TV or Google TV, you do not need any extra device
Android TV & Google TV Sets
Install our app straight onto the television. Nothing else to buy or plug in.
- Sony BRAVIA
- TCL, Google TV models
- Hisense, Google TV models
- Philips, Sharp & other Android TVs
Important: this means the Android TV / Google TV versions of these sets. Hisense VIDAA TVs cannot install apps, and Roku TVs are not supported at all Check which system your TV runs before you buy.
Samsung & Other Smart TVs
These televisions do not run Android, so our app cannot be installed on them. Samsung sets work through the TV’s own web browser. Open our website on the TV and sign in.
- Samsung (Tizen), works in the TV browser
- LG (webOS), ask us first. Not confirmed
- No app install on either
If your TV cannot install apps, the simplest fix is one of the streaming players above. They plug into any HDMI port and work on every TV.
