If your TV is a smart TV (a television that connects to the Internet), it operates with an OS (an operating system).
Some television brands have their own proprietary operating system, such as WebOS or Tizen OS.
Others use Google’s Android TV (now called Google TV).
To find out if your television uses Android TV/Google TV or a proprietary operating system, you have several options:
The simplest way is to check your TV's documentation either online or in your user manual if you have one. Look for an Android TV or Google TV logo, which will immediately indicate if your television uses it.
If you don't have a user manual or can't find the information online, turn on your television and explore the settings. You can usually access the settings by clicking on Menu on your remote control. Once in the settings, look for a section often called "about" or "system information" (this varies by brand or model of the TV), and look for mentions of Android TV or Google TV.
Alternatively, if you find Google applications or features on your TV, such as Google Cast, it is quite safe to assume that your television operates with Google TV in some way, although this is not 100% certain as some proprietary operating systems can run the most popular Google applications like YouTube.
Finally, we recommend checking your Internet/television box, as it sometimes operates with Android TV/Google TV. This means that even if your television does not (if it is an older television that is not a smart TV or uses another proprietary operating system), you can still use Android TV/Google TV via your Internet box.
To use the medici.tv app directly on your television, you will need Android TV/Google TV.
To sum up:
1. Check the home screen
When you start your TV, look for the Android TV logo or the presence of the Google Play app in the main menu.
2. Check the settings
Go to your TV's Settings, then to the About section. If you see mentions like Android or Google, you are using an Android TV device.
3. Look for apps
If your TV allows you to install apps via the Google Play store, it is an Android TV device.
