Use basic TV on a TCL Google TV

 
Important: You can only use basic TV on TVs that come with Google TV built in.

If you choose basic TV when you set up your Google TV device, you can: 

  • Finish setup faster
  • Use your device without a Google Account
  • Use your device without an internet connection
    • Without an internet connection, your device won’t get important security updates.

Some features aren't available in basic TV.

Switch from basic TV to Google TV

  1. From the home screen, scroll to the Google TV banner.
  2. Select Set up Google TV.
  3. Follow the on-screen instructions to set up with the Home app or your remote.
  • Watch TV through your cable service, satellite, TV tuner, or antenna with the TV app
  • Play media from other inputs plugged into the TV
  • Use a limited set of apps that come pre-installed on your device
  • Use services and features that require you to sign in to your Google Account
  • Access your Play Library
  • Install apps
  • Use the Assistant to search for content
  • Cast content from another device
