Overview

• El Cronista reports that starting in October 2025 several smart TV platforms are reinforcing security to prevent Magis TV installation or use, including Samsung Tizen, LG webOS, Hisense VIDAA, Roku TV, Apple TV, and Panasonic models without Android TV.
• Magis TV is not available in official app stores and is typically installed via APK sideloading, a distribution path that experts say heightens exposure to malicious software.
• Cybersecurity specialists warn the APKs can include spyware capable of harvesting banking data, passwords, and other sensitive information, and they recommend removing the app.
• Technology outlets highlight legal, free alternatives such as YouTube, Pluto TV, and ViX that offer licensed content without requiring payment details.
• Despite warnings, some guides continue to share sideloading steps and risk-reduction tips like using guest mode or an incognito session, underscoring ongoing use and potential exposure.
