No google play store

[Winkiewarthog]

Hi I've just got a Sony smart tv and have no google play in my apps. Can anyone tell me how to download it please. Model kd-55xg7003

Hello @Winkiewarthog,

your TV doesn't run Android OS but Linux, so there is no Google Play Store on the TV.

I would recommend to get a Amazon-Fire-TV-Stick, a Google Chromecast or an Apple-TV to get access to Apps.

It mentions Smart TV, but not Android TV

Hi @tonyb1755 

Where did you see it advertised as Android?

[tiffanymiller]

Same! The remote of my KD43X720E has a red google play button. Makes no sense why it doesn't work and why the app isn't there anymore.

You have with the red Google botton , or the one like in the picture below?

You too what?

Bought a Linux TV thinking it was Android, but can’t get some of the apps you want?

If so, @IamNic has the answer for you, above.
