How Do I Set Up Smart TV To Be Able To Use Android Apps? by tunnex190(op): 2:02pm On Jun 22, 2025

I have this smart TV Hisense with Vidaa Os and I really want to use some android apps on it since I can't afford to buy another android TV for now.

I don't know how I can set it up. Maybe fire stick could do the work or android TV box. I don't know which is better.

I would like to run OTT navigator on it particularly and some others.

Amazon Fire stick is okay, you can also watch YouTube videos to know better, Airtel sells one though, but don't know if you can side load on it

But I can sideload on Amazon fire stick? Also are there any differences between using fire stick or android box? Are those working the same way?

Get an android box, it's more affordable. Fire stick especially Amazon don't come with PlayStore
