Hello there

If you do a search on this site for "Mobdro" - you will find a couple of links that gives instructions/ideas on how to install it.

Discussions around Mobdro and various similar apps fall into a grey area in regards to forum rules.  It can be discussed, but any links violate forum rules and hence will be removed.

How to install - The lowdown:

As Mobdro is not an official app that can be downloaded by the Google Play TV store that is on the TV, it cannot be installed that way.  Therefore this app needs to be 'sideloaded' onto the TV.

You must do a 'google' search and download the APK file.  You also need to enable a setting for apps to be installed from unknown sources.  Then you must be able to run the APK installer on the TV for it to install.  For you to run Mobdro, you will need to also install another laucher such as "Sideload Launcher - Android TV"

You need to download the APK onto a PC, then transfer or open it up from the TV using a file manager.  You cannot download from the web-browser on the TV.

Read the two threads from the link I posted above.

Hi Ivan

The advice on this forum is provided by fellow users like yourself, if and when they have time and know the answer, for free.

if you want an SLA, you will need to go and find a source of paid support that will undertake to respond within a certain timescale.

After which you may find the support on here is worth every penny you pay for it, and very often, rather much more 🙂
