Here's a reworked version of the article, taking into account all the requirements:

Rutube is a Russian video platform that is similar in functionality to YouTube, giving users access to educational and entertaining videos. And although it is more usual to watch videos on a smartphone or PC, modern TVs with Smart TV function allow you to enjoy content directly on the big screen.

On new TV models released after 2022, the Rutube app is already pre-installed. What if your TV is older? In that case, all you need to do is install it through the app store. Let's take a look at how it can be done for popular brands of TVs.

How to install Rutube on TV?

For Samsung TVs:

  1. Press the Home button on the remote control (the one with the house image).
  2. Go to “Apps” using the Left and Right buttons.
  3. In the Apps section, select the Videos category.
  4. Use the navigation buttons to find the RuTube app or use the search (magnifying glass icon in the upper right corner).
  5. Once you have found the app, select “Install”.
  6. When the download completes, an “Open” button will appear to open the Rutube app.
  7. The app will then be available on the main navigation bar for easy access.

For LG TVs:

  1. Press the Smart TV button on the remote control.
  2. Go to “LG Smart World” where all available LG applications are located.
  3. Use search (magnifying glass icon in the upper right corner) to find RuTube.
  4. Tap “Install” and wait for the download to complete.
  5. Once installed, the app will be available in the “My Apps” list.
  6. Tap on “Open” to launch video hosting.

For TVs that do not have an app store:

If your TV does not have a pre-installed app store but supports Smart TV feature, you can download the app file through the TV browser. To do this:

  1. Open the browser on your TV and type the following query to search for the installation file: “Rutube installation file for Smart TV”.
  2. Download the file in .apk format.
  3. Once the download is complete, agree to the app's requirements and run the installation.
  4. Once installed, the app will appear in the app list or navigation bar.

Important Notes:

  • All operations should be performed with an authorized TV account: for Samsung, this is the Samsung account, for LG, this is the LG account. Usually the account is set up when you first turn on the TV, but if not, the TV will prompt you to create an account when you turn it on.

With these simple steps, you'll be able to install the Rutube app on your TV and enjoy your favorite videos on the big screen while sitting on the couch.
