A lot of people have been asking for a clear, detailed method to install Sun Plus TV and the required video player on a smart TV, especially with interest building around World Cup 2026 streaming apps and entertainment tools.
The good news is that the process is simple once you know the correct order. The important part is this: you need both the app and its player. Installing only Sun Plus TV is usually not enough.
There are three ways to get it done:
- Through the Downloader app
- Through a web browser on the TV
- Through the Google Play Store
I’ll walk through all three, plus the extra steps that actually matter, like deleting leftover APK files, opening sideloaded apps, and copying the files to a USB flash drive as a backup.

📥 Method 1: Install Sun Plus TV with Downloader
If Downloader is already installed on the TV, this is usually the fastest method.
Start by pressing the Home button on the remote and open the Downloader app.
Inside Downloader, go to the search field at the top and select the code entry option. Then enter the Sun Plus TV app code:
- 74606
After entering the code, press Enter or the checkmark on the keyboard. Wait a few seconds. The app will connect automatically and begin the process.
If Sun Plus TV is already installed, the TV may ask whether you want to update the app. If it is the first installation, it will ask if you want to install the app. In both cases, choose Install.
The app size is around 32 MB, so the download should not take long unless the internet connection is slow.
Once installation finishes, choose Done, not Open.
Then do one very important thing: delete the installation file.
That APK file stays in internal storage if you leave it there, and over time it can waste memory and contribute to lag or slow performance on the TV. So press Delete, then Delete again to confirm.
Install the required player with Downloader
Now go back into Downloader and enter the code for the video player used by Sun Plus TV:
- 4195616
Press Enter and follow the same exact steps.
- Wait for the redirect
- Let the file download
- Choose Install
- Press Done
- Delete the APK file afterward
The player file is about 30 MB. Once that is done, both required components are on the TV.

🧭 How to Find Sideloaded Apps After Installation
One thing confuses a lot of people: after installing the app successfully, it may not appear on the main home screen.
That does not mean the installation failed.
It simply means the TV needs a launcher that can display sideloaded apps. For that, use something like:
- Side Load Launcher
- Applications app
These tools show all apps installed on the TV, including the ones that do not appear normally on the home page.
Open the launcher, and you should see both:
- Sun Plus TV
- its player
🔐 First Launch Setup for Sun Plus TV
When you open Sun Plus TV for the first time, you’ll get three fields or choices on the screen. In the first box, enter the activation word exactly as shown in the app source.
The key detail here is:
- the letter M must be uppercase
- the letter L must be uppercase
- do not add commas or separators
After entering it correctly, the app should start working automatically.
🌐 Method 2: Install Sun Plus TV from the TV Browser
If Downloader is not available, or if you prefer using the browser directly, this method works too.
Press the Home button and open any browser installed on the TV, such as the built-in web browser.
In the address bar, type the following format:
aftv.news/CODEFor the Sun Plus TV app, enter:
aftv.news/74606Then press Enter and wait a few seconds for the page to load. When the download page appears, select Download.
Wait until it reaches 100%.
After that, go back and repeat the same process for the player using:
aftv.news/4195616Again, choose Download and let the file finish.
This browser method is handy because the URL pattern stays the same for many Android TV app installations. Only the code at the end changes.

📂 How to Access the Downloaded Files in File Manager
After downloading through the browser, the files usually land in the Downloads folder, so you need a File Manager app on the TV.
Open File Manager, then go to Downloads.
There you should find:
- the Sun Plus TV APK
- the player APK
From there, you can tap either file to install it.
If the install dialog appears but the remote does not respond properly on that screen, use a USB mouse or external mouse. That can help with selecting:
- Install
- Update
- Cancel
This is a common workaround on some smart TV models and Android TV boxes.
💾 How to Copy the App and Player to a USB Flash Drive
If you want a backup copy of the app and player, you can move them from the TV to a USB flash drive.
This is especially useful if:
- you want to reinstall later without re-downloading
- you plan to use the same APKs on another TV
- you want to keep a local backup
Here’s how to do it from File Manager:
- Open Downloads
- Highlight the Sun Plus TV APK
- Press and hold, then choose Copy
- Go back and open the USB drive
- Choose any folder
- Select Paste
Wait until the transfer completes. Then repeat the same steps for the player APK.
Once both files are copied, you have a full backup on the flash drive.
🛒 Method 3: Install Sun Plus TV from Google Play Store
If the app and player are available in the Google Play Store on your device, this is the easiest route.
Open the Play Store and search for:
- Sun Plus for the app
- M Plus Player for the video player
Install both.
After that, open the app and in the first field enter the same activation word exactly as required, with uppercase M and uppercase L, and without separators. Once entered correctly, everything should work automatically.
