There are two things you can try to get this working -if your tv uses mediatek. +the default included one. It looks like this... -##### Option 1: Install from file +![New Input Switcher Menu](public/blog/tvinput.png) -I recommend trying option 2 first. If it doesnt work due to missing application -then try this option. +If your TV has the file on it but the app is not installed to your android +user you can try doing the following... -Try to find an file called 'LiveTV.apk' on your tv.
