Android TV manufacturers release regular updates with the motive of augmenting their performance. But the auto-update feature does not always work, and you need to perform a manual update.

Updating your Android TV is a good idea if you encounter major issues like unresponsive applications, delayed remote operations, or freezing.

Depending upon whether your TV is connected to the network or not, you can either use the built-in settings to update the TV or use a USB drive for offline updates.

Updating the firmware of your Android TV with an Internet connection is a hassle-free process. Simply pressing a few keys on your remote will update your TV to the latest version.

Here, we have covered steps to update Android TVs from different manufacturers like Sony, Samsung, LG, Hisense, and TCL.

Note: If the Software Update option in your Samsung TV is grayed out, you need to change your Source to TV; it should not be on HDMI or any other mode. Then go back to your home screen and again follow the steps to carry out the update process.

If you don’t have an active Internet connection to connect your TV or say the update feature of your TV did not show up, you can also perform a manual update. All you need is a USB flash drive, and you will be able to install the updates.

Here, we will be installing updates to our Sony KD-43X80J TV using a USB drive for elucidation. You can follow similar steps for your TV as well.
