Want to watch Shamel TV on your Android TV or Google TV? The Shamel TV Pro app installs in about three minutes with the free Downloader app and a short code, with no computer needed. This guide walks you through every step, explains what to expect once the app opens, and fixes the problems people run into most. If you want a full overview of the app first, read our Shamel TV Pro app guide.
What You Need Before You Start
Gather these four things so the install goes smoothly:
- An Android TV or Google TV device, including boxes such as the Onn Google TV.
- A working internet connection on the TV.
- Your TV remote.
- The Downloader code: 9663948.
The app is free to install. To watch channels you need an active subscription or a free trial, and you can start the trial from inside the app.
How to Install Shamel TV Pro on Android TV: Step by Step
Step 1: Install Downloader From the Google Play Store
Open the Google Play Store on your TV, search for Downloader, and install it. Downloader works like a small browser that can fetch an app file and start the installation for you. Always use the Play Store version rather than a copy from another site.
Step 2: Allow Downloader to Install Unknown Apps
The first time you use Downloader to install something, your TV will ask for permission. Choose Settings, then switch on Install unknown apps for Downloader. This permission applies only to Downloader, and you can turn it off again after the install. The exact menu names vary a little between TV brands and software versions.
Step 3: Enter the Code 9663948
Open Downloader and type 9663948 in the address box, then select Go. Downloader finds the Shamel TV Pro file from that code. If the code ever fails, type shamel-tv.com/app/shameltv.apk into the same box instead.
Step 4: Install and Open the App
When the download finishes, select Install, then Open. Downloader may offer to delete the installer file afterward, and it is a good idea to say yes to free up storage.
Sign In or Start Your Free Trial
Typing on a TV remote is slow, so the app lets you use your phone instead. Open the Account section and scan the QR code with your phone to sign in, start a trial, or renew. To start a free trial:
- Select Start Free Trial in the app, or scan the QR code in Account.
- Enter your email on the page that opens on your phone.
- Go back to the TV. The app signs you in and starts the trial.
Existing customers can sign in with their account email. You can also request a trial on the trial page, or compare plans on the subscription page.
Using the App With Your Remote
The app is built for a TV remote. The arrow keys browse the lists, OK opens a channel or title, BACK returns to the previous screen, and the channel up and down buttons switch channels. Press MENU to turn subtitles on or off when the video includes them. You can type searches on your phone instead of the remote, which saves a lot of time.
Tips for a Smooth Setup
Update your TV first. Open your TV’s settings and install any pending system update before you begin. This avoids many odd install errors.
Check your storage. A TV with almost no free space can fail to install apps. Remove apps you no longer use.
Use a stable connection. A wired adapter or a strong 5GHz Wi-Fi signal helps. If playback stutters after setup, our buffering troubleshooting guide explains how to find the cause.

Troubleshooting
The code doesn’t work. Check the digits, restart Downloader, and try again. You can also enter the direct file address shown in Step 3.
“App not installed.” Free up storage, remove any older copy of the app, and install again. Download only from our official page.
The install is blocked. Go back to Step 2 and make sure Install unknown apps is on for Downloader.
Can’t find Install unknown apps. Open your TV’s settings, then Security and restrictions or Apps, depending on your brand. AFTVnews has a detailed walkthrough of sideloading with Downloader on Android TV 14.

A Note on Sideloading Rules
Google is introducing developer verification for apps installed on certified Android devices. According to Google’s developer verification page, protections begin on September 30, 2026 in Brazil, Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand, with a global rollout planned for 2027. Google’s page doesn’t say how this will apply to Android TV devices, so check Google’s current guidance if you rely on installing apps this way.
Keep Your Account Safe
Download the app only from the official Shamel TV page, use a strong, unique password, and never share your login. See our IPTV account security guide for more.
