Download and install apps on Apple TV via Jailbreaking

Apple TV is generally designed in such a way that it cannot install applications that are not available in the App Store. In the same way as the iPhone and iPad, it's impossible to download third-party apps on Apple TV unless your streaming device is in jail.

Despite this, the downside of jailbreak is that all security features associated with your Apple TV will be removed. Because, we do not suggest our users to get out of jail with an Apple TV.

If you decided to escape from jail with your streaming device, try tools like Electra, Pangu y SeasOnPass.
