Install and pair the Google TV receiver

What you may be seeing

• You want to install the Canvas Relay receiver on a Google TV / Android TV device.
• You expected a Google Play listing but need the current direct-download beta path.

What usually causes it

• The signed TV receiver is distributed directly from canvasrelay.app and is not yet listed in Google Play.
• Android requires temporary Install unknown apps permission for the browser, transfer app, or file manager opening a direct APK.

Do this

1. Download the Google TV APK from /players/android-tv and transfer it to the TV by USB, a trusted file-transfer app, or a capable TV downloader.
2. Open Settings → Apps → Security & Restrictions or Special app access → Install unknown apps and allow only the app opening the APK.
3. Install Canvas Relay, turn that permission off again, then open the receiver and note its six-digit code.
4. In Screens → Add screen choose Android TV / Google TV, enter the code, name the screen, and assign a published board.
5. Developer mode is not required unless you deliberately use ADB; disable debugging again after an ADB installation.

You know it is fixed when

• Screens reports the Android/Google TV endpoint online with the intended board and an active deployment.
• The TV reopens the saved screen after an app restart and receives a later published board release.
