Let us be honest. Most free streaming apps on Android TV feel like a phone app stretched across a 43 inch screen: tiny text, menus that fight your remote and buffering every few minutes. Castle for Android TV is different, because it is a separate build designed for the TV. Readable menus, smooth remote control, live channels and over 1,00,000 titles in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and English.
Here are the basics before we start. Castle TV is one single APK. It does not need any extra player app, so one install and you are done.

Castle TV is the free big screen version of Castle, built for Android TV, Google TV and TV boxes. It is not listed on Google Play, so you install it by sideloading the APK, which is a standard feature of Android TV. Using a Fire TV Stick? Follow our Castle for Firestick guide.
The difference is in the details. Text is large enough to read from the sofa, every screen works with the arrow keys on your remote, and categories are laid out for browsing, not tapping.
Castle TV v1.1.3 is the current build for Android TV, Google TV and TV boxes. If you installed an older version, download v1.1.3 and install it over the top. Your app data stays in place.
Not sure which version you have? On your TV, go to Settings, Apps, See all apps and select Castle. The version number appears on the app info screen.
No mouse, no pointer and no guessing. Every menu responds properly to the arrow and OK buttons on your remote.
Switch from a movie to a live channel without leaving the app.
Match days are better on a big TV. Castle keeps sports events in their own section so they are easy to find.
Everyone at home finds something in their language, alongside English movies and series.
Choose HD on a strong connection or a lower quality when the Wi-Fi is busy, all from the player menu.
Many Android TVs and boxes have limited storage. Castle TV takes very little of it.
No account, no payment screen and no ads interrupting your movie.
There are three ways to install Castle TV. All of them work, so pick the one that suits your setup.

Any TV or box running Android TV or Google TV with Android 6.0 or above, including models from brands like Sony, Xiaomi, OnePlus, TCL and Hisense, as well as Android TV boxes.
