Play’s Android TV help requires Android 7.1 or later. Open the app, choose Aanmelden, scan the QR code, enter the television’s numerical code and complete the account sign-in on the phone or tablet. It also describes entering the email and password with the television remote when the QR route cannot be used.
Prepare the Belgian Play account
Use the intended Play account before linking the shared television. The help directs new users to register through Play.tv or the mobile app, then complete the account flow. It describes Android TV support from version 7.1.
Keep the service identity clear: this is the Flemish broadcaster’s Play app. A generic Play store reference or another provider product with Play in its name does not identify the same account. Retain the actual app and account email in your private preparation.
Follow the television’s QR and code sequence
The current device help gives this route:
- Open the Play app on the Android television and select Aanmelden.
- Scan the displayed QR code with a phone or tablet.
- Enter the numerical code displayed on the television.
- Enter the intended Play account email and password on the phone or tablet.
- Return to the television, which the help says connects automatically, and inspect the result.
Use the documented remote alternative when needed
If scanning does not work, Play says the account email and password can be entered manually using the television remote. It specifically warns against spaces before or after those details. Read the field contents carefully rather than assuming the password itself is wrong.
The QR/code route and remote sign-in are alternatives for the same account-linking task. Choose the method the current screen offers and keep the identity consistent. Do not use a remembered numerical code from another attempt or assume a code length and expiry not stated in this help.
Separate support conditions from the account result
Play’s help says to keep the app current and check the supported Android version if installation or viewing fails. These are distinct from account sign-in: an account password question and an unsupported operating system should not be treated as one problem.
If linking stops, note whether the unresolved stage is opening Aanmelden, scanning, entering the TV code, signing in or the television updating. Keep the live code and password private in a support report. After linking, inspect the intended programme rather than treating the app opening alone as the completed viewing plan.
