Netflix is, without a doubt, by far the most popular streaming service. So it's no surprise that installing Netflix on an Android TV box is a priority for many. However, installing Netflix isn't as easy as it used to be, as Netflix prevents the app from being installed on some Android devices.

In this guide, I'll show you how to install Netflix on your Android TV box and where to download Netflix for Android APK so you can get streaming services right away.

How do I get Netflix on an Android TV box?​


Depending on your particular Android TV box, you can install Netflix on your Android TV box using one of two methods:

Install from the Google Play Store: Installing Netflix from the Google Play Store is the fastest way to install Netflix on an Android TV box. However, with Netflix's recent crackdown on uncertified Android TV boxes, this option won't work for many devices. Searching for Netflix on an unauthenticated device does not return any results, and clicking the direct link shows that the application is incompatible.

Download Netflix via Emotn Store: If you receive a "your device is not compatible with this version" error or cannot access the Google Play Store, downloading Netflix via Emotn Store is a very convenient option.

1. Install Netflix on your Android TV box using the Google Play Store​

If you have a compatible media player, installing the app from the Google Play Store is definitely the easiest way to install Netflix on your Android TV box. This process is the same whether your Android TV box is running native Android or Android TV. Here are just a few steps:

Emotn Store is a TV app store specifically designed for smart TVS and Android TV boxes. You can download basically everything you need for your TV and TV box in Emotn Store. The Apps in the store include entertainment, music, news, sports, education and fitness, etc.

Thankfully, downloading the Emotn Store isn't complicated, according to our step-by-step guide.

I find that Netflix is not compatible with some brand's TV box, but there are two versions of Netflix on Emotn Store, and one of them is like a cracked version and it works well with those brands that don't have compatibility with Netflix:p
