TIP
Before turning off your TV Hub or letting it go into standby, always exit apps back to the Home screen. This helps keep things running smoothly next time you switch on.
Your TV Hub gives you access to Google Play, where you can browse and download thousands of apps — from movies and TV, to fitness, music and gaming.
Some apps come pre‑installed. We call these Featured Apps.
Good to know
To get the full experience from some apps and players, you’ll need a TV aerial connected. Some apps will only appear when an aerial is detected.
You can:
- Download new apps anytime
- Update apps as soon as updates are available

External storage
You can plug in a USB stick or Micro SD card to view compatible photos and videos.
External storage can’t be used to install extra apps.
If you run out of space, the TV Hub will guide you through removing apps you no longer use.
Soundbars and audio
You can connect a soundbar in several ways, depending on your setup:
- Via your TV (HDMI ARC/eARC)
- Directly through the TV Hub
- Using SPDIF / TosLink (if supported)
If audio and video are out of sync, try adjusting the sync settings on your soundbar or switching connection methods.
Your TalkTalk TV Hub supports Wi‑Fi 6, helping deliver smoother streaming — especially when paired with Full Fibre.
Always use:
- The power cable supplied
- The HDMI cable provided, or a cable that supports UHD 4K standards
