If you want to install Live Plus 2026 on your smart TV screen and run it properly, there are two simple ways to do it. You can either use the Downloader app or install it through the TV browser. I’ll also show you an important step many people ignore, which is deleting leftover installation files so the TV does not get slow, plus how to copy a backup of the app to your USB flash drive.

This guide is especially useful for Android TV and similar smart TV systems where apps do not always appear directly on the home screen after installation.

📥 Method 1: Install Live Plus with Downloader

The easiest method is through the Downloader app. If Downloader is already installed on your TV, the process is very quick.

  1. Press the Home button on the remote.
  2. Open the Downloader app.
  3. Go to the search field at the top.
  4. Press the # icon to enter a numeric code.
  5. Type this code: 2965095
  6. Press Enter or the checkmark.

After that, wait about five seconds. There is no need to press anything during this short delay. The app will automatically redirect you to the download page.

Enter the full Downloader code: 2965095, then proceed to download Live Plus.

Once the page loads, stand on the download option and press OK. A message appears confirming that the download has started.

The app size is about 33 MB, so the download speed will depend on your internet connection.

Install or update the APK

When the APK finishes downloading, the installation screen appears.

  • If Live Plus is already installed, you will see Update.
  • If this is your first time installing it, you will see Install.

In both cases, choose the installation option and wait until the setup finishes.

When the app is installed successfully, choose Done. Do not stop there. This next step matters.

Delete the APK after installation

After installation, Downloader gives you the option to delete the APK file. Choose Delete, then confirm Delete again.

This is not just about saving a little space. Temporary APK files can take up internal storage and, over time, contribute to lag and slower TV performance. Keeping the TV clean helps it stay responsive.

🧭 Why the app may not appear on the home screen

One thing that confuses many people is that after installation, the app may not show on the main home page. That does not mean the install failed.

In this case, you need a launcher app such as:

  • Sideload Launcher
  • Application Launcher

Open one of these tools and it will display the apps that were installed on the TV, including Live Plus.

🌐 Method 2: Install Live Plus through the browser

If you do not want to use Downloader, you can install the same app from any browser available on the TV.

Here is the exact format to use in the address bar:

aftv.news/2965095

  1. Press the Home button.
  2. Open any browser on the TV.
  3. Go to the search or address bar.
  4. Type: aftv.news/2965095
  5. Press Enter.

Again, wait the same five seconds for the redirect to complete. Then stand on the correct option, press OK, choose Open, and then Download.

Entering aftv.news/2965095 in TV browser to download Live Plus
Use the TV browser to enter aftv.news/2965095, then wait for the installer redirect to the download option.

The download begins exactly like the Downloader method. Once it reaches 100%, the file is now on your TV.

This same browser formula can also help when installing other APKs manually. If you are comparing methods, this walkthrough on installing a streaming app on Smart TV and phone is another useful reference.

📂 How to find the downloaded APK and install it manually

After downloading through the browser, the app will not install itself automatically in every setup. You may need to open it through a file manager.

  1. Press Home.
  2. Open File Manager.
  3. Go to the Downloads folder.
  4. Find the Live Plus APK.
  5. Press once on the file.

You should then get options like:

  • Install
  • Update
  • Cancel

In the file manager’s Downloads folder, you can see the downloaded Live Plus APK files ready for manual installation.

If your remote does not respond correctly on this screen, you may need to connect a mouse. That same advice applies inside the app as well. On some TV models, certain menus are much easier to control with a mouse than with the standard remote.

If you often deal with manual APK installation, Android TV’s official help pages from Google Android TV support can also help with system-level permissions and compatibility issues.

💾 How to take a backup copy of Live Plus on a USB flash drive

One of the most useful parts of this setup is creating a backup copy of the app on a flash drive. That way, if you ever reset the TV or want to install the same app on another device, you already have the APK ready.

Here’s how to copy it:

  1. Open the file manager.
  2. Stand on the app file.
  3. Press and hold to open the options menu.
  4. Choose Copy.
  5. Press Back on the remote.
  6. Open your USB flash drive.
  7. Enter any folder you want.
  8. Choose Paste.

In the file manager/launcher area, open the Downloads or file sections where your Live Plus APK will be located for backup copying.

The TV will begin copying the APK from internal storage to the flash drive. Once the progress reaches 100%, your backup is ready.

⚠️ Important notes before and after installation

  • Delete leftover APK files after installation whenever possible to avoid filling internal storage.
  • If the app is already installed, the system may show Update instead of Install. That is normal.
  • If the app does not appear on the home screen, open it through Sideload Launcher.
  • If the remote stops responding in menus, use a mouse.
  • If you download through the browser, use a file manager to locate the APK inside Downloads.
