How to Install VUit on Mi Box (Android TV or Firestick)
VUit is only available in the United States. So if you are already in the US, just go to the Google Play Store and search for VUit. You will be able to download it directly.
However, if you are not in the U.S., then you won’t be able to find this app on the Google Play store. You might see something like “VUit isn’t available on Google Play on This Device”
Don’t panic, I will show you exactly how you can install and use this app from anywhere in the world.
You will definitely need a VPN though. I recommend Surfshark VPN because it’s the most affordable one out there.
Install VUit on Android TV Outside the United States (from Google Play)
As I mentioned before, you will NEED a US VPN to use VUit anyway. The app won’t work if you are not connected to a VPN with a United States server.
So please install a VPN first. I recommend Surfshark VPN because it’s practically FREE.
1. On your smartphone, open your VPN and connect to a US-based server.
2. Create a new Gmail/Google account while connected to the VPN. (Do this on your phone as that’s much simpler)
3. The Gmail account will be a US account since you’re connected to a US VPN.
4. Now go to your Android TV or Google TV device, and connect to the VPN (US server).
5. Click your profile picture in the top-right corner of the home screen then click Add Account.
6. Log in to your newly created Gmail account (US one).
7. Once logged in, go to the Google Play Store.
8. When you’re in the Google Play store, click your profile pic in the top-right > Switch Accounts > select the new Google account.
9. Now search for VUit in Google Play. It will show up in the results.
10. Now click Install.
You have now successfully installed VUit directly from the Google Play store.
You can also install this app using Aptoide TV. I’ll show you how.
Install VUit on Mi Box Outside United States (Aptoide TV)
You will need an alternative app store installed on your Mi Box (Android TV Box).
This alternative app store is called Aptoide TV. Here’s how to get it.
1. Open the Downloader app (How to install Downloader on Mi Box), type jailbreakmibox.com/aptoide in the URL field, and hit Go.
2. Click install.
3. Click DONE.
4. You will go back to the Downloader app and see a prompt to delete the APK file. Click Delete.
Note: We want to delete the APK installation file from Mi Box. Removing the APK file will free up space in your Mi Box storage and ensure you don’t run out of storage.
5. Aptoide TV is now installed on your Android TV or Google TV Box. Let’s grant it the necessary permissions.
6. Now go to Settings > Device Preferences > Security & restrictions. Then inside the Unknown Sources option, turn ON Aptoide TV so it is Allowed.
7. Now open Aptoide TV (Grant it any permissions it requires) and search for VUit.
8. Click Install.
VUit is now installed on your device.
Alright, so that’s enough. You have two different methods to install this app. You’re all set!
