Among other TVs, an android TV is a classified device that supports various digital features developed by Google.
Anyone would agree that the latest update on any device offers newer features with a better experience. Android TV is without exception to that.
Sometimes, the auto-update feature does not always work, leaving users no option but to perform a manual update, and if the device is not updated, it causes the device to malfunction.
One of the signs that an Android TV needs an update is applications become unresponsive, have delayed remote operations, or have general freezing.
An android TV can be updated online or offline depending on whether it has a good internet connection or USB drive. Updating any product of Android TV follows the same guideline but with a little difference, according to the manufacturer’s product design.

Perhaps, your Android TV is not connected to the internet; you can perform a manual update using a USB flash drive.
Format the USB drive in FAT32 or NTFS on a computer, visit the manufacturer’s official support website, and search for the model of the TV on the search box. Then, select the Download Menu and click on download.
After downloading, unzip the file and copy it to the USB drive without creating any folder; eject the USB drive when completed.
Turn on your Android TV and insert the USB. If your TV does not automatically update from the USB, change from TV source to USB mode and update manually.
