Works Smoothly on TVs Made in 2017 and Later
Here is something you can count on: the Digiturk Play Abroad app runs smoothly on every Smart TV produced in 2017 and later. Samsung (Tizen), LG (webOS) and Android TV models from 2017 onwards fully support the latest version of the app, so both the installation and the live streams run without interruption. On these models the picture quality is high, the app opens quickly and live broadcasts play without buffering. Since older televisions can occasionally have compatibility issues, we recommend a 2017 or newer Smart TV for the best experience.
If you cannot find the app in the store during installation, update your TV software first and make sure your internet connection is stable. After that it is easy; with Digiturk Play you can enjoy Turkish television on your Smart TV anytime, even while you are abroad.
