Third-party apps simply refer to apps that cannot be searched in the app store that comes with the device.

Some smart TVs can be downloaded and installed by entering the third-party software apk download link in the TV’s browser.

Some smart TVs cannot be downloaded directly through the browser due to system program settings.

You need to use the “Downloader” app to enter the third-party software apk download link to download and install.
