Ultra 8K on Android TV & Google TV
The most powerful streaming experience on Android TV. Works on NVIDIA SHIELD, Chromecast with Google TV, and all Android TV boxes.
Installing Ultra 8K on Android TV or Google TV
Open the Google Play Store on your Android TV or Google TV device, search for 'Ultra 8K', and tap Install. The app runs on any Android TV device running Android 8.0 or later, including NVIDIA SHIELD TV, Chromecast with Google TV, Xiaomi Mi Box, and TCL or Hisense Smart TVs with built-in Android TV. After installing, sign in with your account and your full watch history and preferences are available immediately. The Android TV interface is optimised for the 10-foot experience — navigating with a remote feels natural and fast.
Why Android TV Is Perfect for Ultra HD Streaming
Android TV and Google TV offer the most open streaming ecosystem. The Google Play Store gives access to Ultra 8K alongside your other favourite apps, and Google Assistant integration lets you search for content by voice. For the absolute best performance, the NVIDIA SHIELD TV Pro supports 8K upscaling, Dolby Atmos audio pass-through, and HDR10+ — making it the ideal companion for Ultra 8K's highest-quality streams. Chromecast with Google TV is a compact, affordable option that still delivers full 4K HDR with Dolby Vision support on streams that carry it.
Getting the Most from Ultra 8K on Android TV
Connect your Android TV device to your router via Ethernet using a USB-C to Ethernet adapter or the SHIELD TV's built-in port for the most stable connection. In the Ultra 8K app, navigate to Settings > Video Quality and select 'Best Available (Automatic)'. Android TV's background app refresh can sometimes compete for bandwidth — disable it for apps you don't use regularly in Android Settings > Apps. Keep the Ultra 8K app updated through the Play Store to ensure you always have the latest performance improvements and content.
