Installing IPTV Smarters Pro on Chromecast with Google TV

With the introduction of its newer Chromecast with Google TV, Google has entered the market of streaming devices for home use. This high performance, Android based platform is 4K compatible and fully integrated with any Google Home environment.

Do not be confused by the older generation Google Chromecast devices as they are not made for streaming video or IPTV. They were designed to simply mirror whatever is playing (or streaming) on your smartphone or PC to your TV and are not capable of loading IPTV Smarters Pro. One easy way to tell the difference is that the newer Google Chromecast with Google TV has a remote control. The older versions do not.

Like other “proprietory” boxes (ie. Firesticks, etc), Google makes it a little more difficult to add 3rd party apps. However, with a small amount of effort, it is easily accomplished, opening up your device to be fully customizable.
