Developer Options:

  1. Enable USB debugging. This will allow you to connect to your device using the USB cable and view its contents on your computer.

Use Google TV Launcher in Any Country

Initially, Google TV is only available in the US. If you are in a country like India, you might not be able to use the launcher completely. In that case, you won’t get personalized cards, smart recommendations on the home screen, and some glitches here and there.

To use the game’s launcher properly, we will need to use a VPN service. This will allow us to virtually change our location to the United States, which will give us both local and US-centric results. There are free and paid VPNs available; here are some recommendations for you to choose from. ..

If you have a Chromecast and are in a country that has the new-gen Chromecast, you will not need to use a VPN to use the Google TV Launcher.
