Questions

Is there a Put.io alternative with an Android TV app?
Yes. Fastwater works like Put.io: paste a magnet link or add a .torrent file, and it downloads to your private cloud. Its own Google TV and Android TV app plays your library. Plans start at $6.99 a month for 200 GB. Standard is 1 TB for $9.99 a month. Every plan includes the TV apps, and every trial is free for 3 days.
Does the Android TV app cost extra?
No. The app is free with any Fastwater plan. Plans start at $6.99 a month for 200 GB. Standard is 1 TB for $9.99 a month. Every plan includes the TV apps, and every trial is free for 3 days.
Can I add downloads from the TV?
Not from the TV app. Add a magnet link or a .torrent file in the dashboard on a phone or computer, or from Putflix, ChatGPT, or Claude. It shows up on the TV when it's ready.
How many TVs can play at once?
Lite plays on 2 screens, Standard plays on 4 screens, Pro plays on 8 screens at the same time. You can link as many TVs as you like.
