Toshiba smart TVs come in two main types, depending on the operating system that powers them: the Fire TV and the Android TV. The procedure for setting up the Foxtel app on each operating system can differ slightly, so that we will outline them differently.

## Installing the Foxtel App on the Toshiba Fire TV
Amazon developed the Fire TV operating system as a robust and powerful driver of top-notch smart TV experience. Toshiba recognized this value proposition and signed on to allow Fire TV to run some of its products, which make up the Toshiba Fire TV lineup together.

To install the Foxtel application on your Toshiba Fire, here are the steps to take:

### 1. Setup your TV and Search for the Foxtel App
Power on your Toshiba Fire TV and connect it to the Internet.

Head to the homepage, where you will find different options and commands. Next, steer the remote’s cursor to the ‘Search’ icon and click on it.

## Installing the Foxtel App on the Toshiba Android TV
The Android TV was one of the earliest TV operating systems and merely expanded the Android operating system as we have it on smartphones to the TV set.

## How to Easily Install Foxtel on Older Toshiba TVs

Essentially, to access the Foxtel app on your older Toshiba TV, you need to purchase an appliance called a streaming device.

This device can come in the form of a small ‘stick’ or ‘box,’ and it essentially contains the software capabilities your TV doesn’t have on its own. Connecting it to the old Toshiba TV automatically gives it ‘smart’ capabilities.

Each of these runs the TV operating systems built by their manufacturers, but this doesn’t change much. The setup processes are significantly similar.

## How to Install Foxtel On a Toshiba TV Using a Streaming Stick
The process of installing Foxtel on the Toshiba TV via the streaming device/stick include the following:

- Plug the streaming device into a power outlet to ensure a constant energy supply.
- Connect the TV and streaming device using both ends of the HDMI cable. The Toshiba TV’s HDMI port is often found at the rear of the TV set.
