Sony Bravia KD-55X8505B sideloading external apps

[filawlo]

Hi,

Does anyone know if it is possible to sideload an apk.file via a USB to this type of tv? Would be grateful for any help, many thanks in advance.

Hey filawlo, the official normal way of downloading apps is through the play store, which your TV doesn't have as it's only exclusive to Android TVs.

Thanks for your reply.  Yes that’s right I knew it didn’t have play store but I am wondering if there is a way around this as the tv does have WiFi connectivity etc.
