What is VivaTV?
VivaTV is a free streaming app that lets you watch hundreds of thousands of movies and TV shows online. It scrapes the web for the streaming links and provides them to you in an organized fashion.
It doesn’t host any of the videos or the links, only gathers these links from different sources across the internet, making it easy for you to find what you want to watch in one place.
You can also connect VivaTV with premium link generators like Real-Debrid, AllDebrid, or Premiumize to access high-quality streaming links, and you can also connect Trakt to keep track of your watch history and get personalized suggestions.
VivaTV requires you to download TPlayer (the same as TeaTV). It’s a lightweight player that works great on Android TV, Google TV, and Firestick devices.
I will show you how to install VivaTV on your device and install TPlayer as well.

Is VivaTV Safe?
I am not an expert in dissecting APK files, but I can scan them with a malware scanner. I uploaded the VivaTV APK to VirusTotal for a full scan.
According to VirusTotal, the app is completely safe as it received an all-green score from all the security vendors. I still recommend that you do your own research and scan it yourself for peace of mind.
Is VivaTV APK Legal?
VivaTV scrapes the web to find streaming inks so it’s technically a search engine or a web scraper, which isn’t really completely illegal.
However, the streams you search for or play on your device could be from illegitimate sources which is illegal. I do not support copyright infringement so please only stream public domain movies and shows.
If you’re concerned about your privacy, then please use Surfshark VPN when streaming with Viva TV.
How to Install VivaTV APK on Mi Box (Android TV or Firestick)
VivaTV is not available on Google Play Store or Amazon App Store, so regardless of which device you have, you will have to manually install the APK on your device.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you get started.
That's why we recommend that you always use a secure VPN to stay safe as well
Preparing Mi Box to install VivaTV APK

Sideload VivaTV APK on Android TV with Downloader
1. Open the Downloader app and go to the Home tab, then click the URL field. Enter jailbreakmibox.com/viva — Then, click GO.
Note: JailbreakMibox.com is not associated with the developers of VivaTV APK. This URL redirects to an external source from where you can download the VivaTV APK.

3. When the installation is finished, click DONE.
4. After clicking DONE, you will be back inside the Downloader app and see the following pop-up. Click Delete.
Note: We want to delete the APK installation file from Mi Box because it does not serve any purpose after we have installed the app. Removing the APK file will free up space in your Mi Box storage and ensure you don’t run out of storage.
You have successfully installed VivaTV APK on your Android TV device.
But, don’t start streaming anything just yet. Streaming copyrighted content might land you in legal trouble.
I do not encourage copyright infringement at all. So always stream free movies available in the public domain.
However, I also recommend that you use a secure VPN at all times, which will keep your online activities safe from snooping eyes and keep you incognito.
A VPN will fully encrypt your online streaming activities so that no one can see what you are doing online.
I recommend Surfshark VPN because it uses military-grade technology for encryption, costs less than Starbucks, and protects your online identity. It is also one of the fastest VPNs, which is ideal for streaming.
Update VivaTV to the Latest Version
In this step, we will update the app to the latest version. If it doesn’t prompt you to update, then it means you already have the latest version.
1. Open the VivaTV app and grant it storage access. Select your subtitle language as well.
2. Now it will prompt you to update to the latest version. Click Update.
3. When the update is downloaded, it will take you to the installation screen. But, VivaTV doesn’t have permission to install/update the APK yet. So it will ask you to grant it permission. Click Settings.
This permission is also required to install TPlayer as well.
4. Make Sure that VivaTV is allowed.
5. Now close the app, and re-open it. This time when it asks you to update, click update again.
6. Click Install on the installation screen.
7. Click Done to go back to the app when the update has been installed.
