How to watch Romanian TV in Spain on your home television

You don't need a satellite dish to watch Romanian TV in Spain. Vox Max streams over the internet to Android TV and Google TV devices. If your television already runs Android TV or Google TV, you install the app directly. If it doesn't, the simplest route is a small Android TV box plugged into the TV's HDMI port.

In short, you need three things: an Android TV device, a stable internet connection (wired is best) and a Vox Max account. Before paying anything, you can use the free 24-hour trial to see how it all performs in your own home.

Here's the setup, in the order you'll actually do it.

Check availability before you start

If you have any doubt about whether the service works where you live, ask support before subscribing:

Then use the 24-hour trial as a real-world test on your TV and your home network.

Smart TV or Android TV? Find out which you have

"Smart TV" doesn't automatically mean "Android TV". Many smart TVs run a different operating system, and apps aren't interchangeable between them.

A quick way to check:

1. Look at the home screen. A Google TV or Android TV logo, or the Google Play Store, means you're set.
2. Not sure? Open Settings and look for "About", "Information" or "System".
3. Samsung and LG televisions run their own systems, not Android TV.

The native Samsung and LG app will be available soon. Our guide to Vox Max on Samsung and LG smart TVs explains the current options.

The easy option: an Android TV box over HDMI

A streaming box turns almost any television with an HDMI port into an Android TV. It's the most predictable choice, especially if you rent and don't want to replace the landlord's TV.

The site recommends:

• Nvidia Shield (including Shield TV Pro)
• Xiaomi Mi Box / Mi TV Box
• Google TV Streamer 4K

Choosing between them? Look first for an Ethernet port and a remote that's comfortable to use.

Hooking it up:

1. Plug the box into a free HDMI port on the TV.
2. Connect the box to mains power.
3. If the router is nearby, add an Ethernet cable.
4. Press "Source" or "Input" on the TV remote and pick that HDMI port.
5. Follow the box's own setup (language, network, Google account).

Installing the app and signing in

There are two ways to install Vox Max on an Android TV device:

1. From Google Play, directly on the TV or box.
2. With "Downloader by AFTV News", using the installation code emailed to you when you register.

Your login details are sent by email (or phone) at registration and are always visible in your customer account. For every screen, follow the Vox Max Android TV installation guide.

Wi-Fi or cable in a Spanish flat

We recommend a wired Ethernet connection for stability. But in plenty of flats the router sits in the hallway or a back bedroom, far from the living room. General options worth knowing:

• A direct Ethernet cable, if the distance is manageable. Flat cables run neatly along skirting boards.
• Powerline adapters, which carry your network through the electrical wiring from a socket near the router to one near the TV.
• A mesh Wi-Fi system, to spread coverage across the whole flat.
• 5 GHz Wi-Fi, if your router supports it and the TV isn't too far away; it's usually less crowded than 2.4 GHz.

Spanish time vs Romanian time

Spain is one hour behind Romania all year round, and clocks change on the same dates. A show starting at 21:00 in Romania starts at 20:00 for you. If you miss something, the TV archive lets you go back up to 7 days, depending on what's available for each programme.

The 24-hour trial and plans

The free trial lasts 24 hours. Treat it as a proper test of your home setup:

• ☐ The app installs and you can sign in
• ☐ The picture stays stable in the evening, when networks are busiest
• ☐ You've tried both Wi-Fi and cable, if possible
• ☐ You've checked the archive for a programme you missed
• ☐ You've tried a second device, if you plan to watch on two screens

Subscriptions auto-renew by default. You can switch auto-renewal off in your account at least one day before the renewal date. Current options are on the plans and pricing section.
