Android TV (Sony, Philips, Hisense, TCL, Nvidia Shield, Mi Box) and Google TV (Chromecast with Google TV, TCL Google TV, Sony Bravia XR) use the same process. If your TV runs either operating system and has the Google Play Store, this guide applies to your device.
Some apps only work with a specific server. If you are unsure which server your Yeah TV account is on, contact support via WhatsApp — they will confirm in under 5 minutes. Apps marked For All Servers work with every Yeah TV account.
⚡ Power On & Connect to Your Network
Turn on your Android TV and connect to your home network — Wi-Fi or Ethernet. A stable connection is required for both the app download and IPTV streaming. 10 Mbps or faster for HD, 20 Mbps or faster for 8K.
Use a wired Ethernet connection where available — it eliminates buffering and is significantly more stable than Wi-Fi for IPTV.
🛒 Open the Google Play Store
From the Android TV home screen, navigate to Apps and open the Google Play Store. Sign in to your Google account if prompted.
