Installing HiTV on Android

You have two options on Android: the direct APK or the Google Play listing. Play is simpler because updates happen on their own. The APK is the way to go if Play isn't available on your device or the listing doesn't show in your country.

Option 1: Google Play (easiest)

Search for "HiTV" on Google Play or use the direct link on our download page, tap Install, and you're done. Skip ahead to the first launch section.

Option 2: Direct APK

1
Download the APK file
Tap the Android APK button on the download page. Your browser may warn that "this type of file can harm your device"; that message appears for every APK on the internet. Tap Download anyway.
2
Open the downloaded file
Pull down your notifications and tap HiTV.apk, or find it in your Downloads folder with any file manager.
3
Allow installs from your browser
Android shows "For your security, your phone is not allowed to install unknown apps from this source." Tap Settings, switch on "Allow from this source", then press back. You only do this once per browser.
4
Install and open
Tap Install, wait a few seconds, then Open. If the install fails, check the install errors section of our troubleshooting guide.

Installing HiTV on Windows PC

The Windows client is a proper desktop app, not a wrapped website. It works on Windows 10 and 11 and syncs your watch history with your phone once you sign in.

1
Download the installer
Get the setup file (version 1.37.0.5) from the download page, or install through the Microsoft Store if you prefer managed updates.
2
Run the setup file
Double-click the downloaded .exe. If Windows SmartScreen appears, click "More info" and then "Run anyway". The Store version never shows this prompt.
3
Follow the installer
Accept the default install location unless you have a reason not to. The whole process takes under a minute.
4
Launch from the Start menu
Open HiTV, sign in, and your lists and history from mobile appear automatically.
Minimum specs: any 64-bit Windows 10 or 11 machine from the last decade handles HiTV fine. HD playback wants a stable 5 Mbps connection or better.

Installing HiTV on a TV

HiTV isn't in the TV app stores, so you install it through the free Downloader app instead. The short version works on every platform:

  1. Install Downloader from your TV's app store.
  2. Allow Downloader to install apps (your TV will prompt you, or you toggle it in settings).
  3. Open Downloader, enter 1910890, press Go.
  4. Download the APK, tap Install, then Open.

Downloader icon Code: 1910890

Each TV platform hides the "allow unknown apps" switch somewhere different, which is why we keep separate walkthroughs: the Fire TV guide covers Fire TV Sticks and Fire TV Cubes, the Android TV guide covers smart TVs and Android boxes, and the Google TV guide covers Chromecast with Google TV and newer Sony, TCL, and Hisense sets.

First launch: what to expect

When you open HiTV for the first time, you can browse everything without an account. As a guest you get two full episodes of any series free, which is enough to know whether the streams and subtitles work well on your connection.

Registering (a quick email signup) unlocks the complete library, exclusive titles, My List, and episode reminders. There's no payment step to browse; VIP content is marked separately inside the app.

If something goes wrong

Nine times out of ten it's one of these: the download didn't finish, the unknown-sources permission wasn't granted, or an old version of the app is conflicting with the new one. All three take a minute to fix, and the troubleshooting guide covers them along with buffering, login, and subtitle problems.
