  Install DringTV on your Android TV / Google TV television or box from the Play Store, add your playlist by QR code and browse with the remote.

• Follow your teams and get an alert before every match

  With DringTV's Sports section, follow your football, basketball, tennis or rugby teams and get a notification about twenty minutes before kick-off.
