Install the Crush OTT app on an Android TV box (NVIDIA Shield, Xiaomi Mi Box, Formuler and similar) in about 10 minutes.
Before you start
- Your box connected to the internet and signed in to a Google account
- Your remote
- Your Crush OTT username and password (in your welcome email)
Menu names vary a little between box brands. If a setting below isn't exactly where described, look for the closest match.
Step 1: Install Downloader
Downloader is a free app from Google Play that lets your box download Crush OTT.
- From the home screen, open the Google Play Store.
- Select the search icon and type Downloader.
- Select Downloader with the orange icon (by AFTVnews).
- Select Install and wait for it to finish.
- Select Open. When it asks for permission to access files, select Allow.
- Close the quick-start notes by selecting OK.
Step 2: Allow Downloader to install apps
Android TV blocks apps from outside Google Play until you allow it. You only do it once.
- Open Settings (gear icon, top right of the home screen).
- Go to Device Preferences > Security & restrictions > Unknown sources.
- Find Downloader in the list and switch it ON.
On some boxes the path is Settings > Apps > Security & restrictions > Unknown sources. On older boxes it's a single Unknown sources switch under Security; turn it ON and select OK.
If you skip this step, Android will send you to this setting automatically the first time Downloader tries to install. Switch Downloader ON, press Back, and continue.
Step 3: Download and install Crush OTT
- Open Downloader and stay on the Home tab.
- Select the box that says Enter a URL or Search Term.
- Type the code: 9306905
- Select Go. The Crush OTT app downloads in under a minute.
- When the install screen appears, select Install. If Google Play Protect asks to scan the app, select Install anyway or Scan app, then install.
- When it finishes, select Done (not Open yet).
- Downloader offers to delete the install file. Select Delete, then Delete again. This frees up space and does not remove the app.
Step 4: Sign in and pin the app
- Go to the home screen and open the Apps row (or See all apps).
- Open Crush OTT.
- Enter your username and password from your welcome email, then select Sign in.
- Wait while the app loads your channels, movies and guide. The first load can take a minute or two.
To add Crush OTT to your favorites row: highlight it in Apps, press and hold OK (Select), and choose Add to favorites or Move.
New versions install from inside the app. When it offers an update, select Update.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| Downloader isn't in Google Play | Some boxes without Google Play can install Downloader from the box's own app store, or search “AFTVnews Downloader” |
| Downloader says the code is invalid | Check the code is 9306905. If it still fails, type sites.crushiptv.shop/app/get instead |
| “Your TV is not allowed to install unknown apps” | Repeat Step 2 and make sure Downloader is ON |
| “App not installed” | Uninstall any old copy of Crush OTT, restart the box, and try again |
| Sign-in fails | Check your username and password for typos, and that your subscription is active |
| Subscription expired | Renew at billing.crushiptv.shop |
