Magis TV is an IPTV app popular across Latin America that streams live channels, movies, series, sports, and news in HD and 4K. It supports Android devices, Android TV boxes, Amazon Fire TV Stick, and PCs, with features including an electronic program guide (EPG), cloud DVR, and multi-screen viewing. An Argentine court required Google to disable the app in 2024 for broadcasting copyrighted content without authorization. Check its legal status in your country before downloading.
How to Install Magis TV on Android TV and Google TV
If your Smart TV runs on Android TV or Google TV — common on Sony, TCL, and Hisense sets — you can sideload Magis TV directly without an external device.
- Go to Settings > System > About and tap the Android TV OS Build several times to enable developer mode.
- Open the Google Play Store, go to Settings, and turn off Play Protect.
- Download the Downloader app from the Play Store.
- Open Downloader, enter the Magis TV APK link, and install the file.
- Launch Magis TV, allow the required permissions, and start watching.
Keep the Downloader app installed for future APK updates, as Magis TV does not appear on the Play Store.
Setting Up Magis TV via External Streaming Devices
Samsung TVs run on Tizen OS and LG TVs use webOS — neither supports APK installation directly. An external device plugged into the HDMI port is the standard workaround.
The Amazon Fire TV Stick, Android TV boxes like the Nvidia Shield or Xiaomi Mi Box, and Chromecast with Google TV all work well. Steps are the same across these devices:
- Plug the device into your TV’s HDMI port and complete the initial setup.
- Open the device’s app store and install the Downloader app.
- Enable installation from unknown sources in the device settings.
- Use Downloader to download and install the Magis TV APK.
- Open the app, grant permissions, and browse content.
Using Screen Mirroring to Watch Magis TV on Any Smart TV
Screen mirroring requires no extra hardware and works on virtually any Smart TV that supports casting. The trade-off is that your phone stays active throughout the session.
- Connect both your phone and TV to the same Wi-Fi network.
- Enable screen mirroring or casting on your Smart TV.
- Open Magis TV on your Android phone.
- Tap the Cast icon and select your TV from the list.
Use a 5 GHz Wi-Fi band over 2.4 GHz for less interference, and keep the phone plugged in — screen mirroring drains battery quickly.

Internet Speed Requirements for Magis TV Streaming
A wired Ethernet connection removes wireless interference entirely and is the most reliable option for 4K streaming. If a cable run is not practical, place the router within clear line of sight of the streaming device.
Tips for Smoother Magis TV Playback on Smart TV
Magis TV supports simultaneous viewing on multiple screens depending on your subscription tier. Higher-tier plans unlock more channels and cloud DVR storage.
Is Magis TV Free on Smart TVs?
The free tier gives access to a limited channel selection. A paid subscription expands the content library and unlocks cloud DVR. The tiered model mirrors how Netflix structures its own plans — a basic free or low-cost entry point with premium features reserved for higher tiers.
Content rights present ongoing challenges for IPTV services. Broadcasters and media companies, including those structured like Fox Corporation, license their programming under strict territorial agreements. Streaming content without those agreements has led to Magis TV’s removal from official platforms in several markets. Verify the app’s legal status under your local copyright laws before use.
