Introduction
Google Play has a lot of Android Applications or Apps. It is always a must to use in any Android device. However, Xiaomi TVs or TV boxes has a special ROM designed for Chinese market that does not use Google Play. Many overseas users tried very hard to install Google Play but failed. In short, Xiaomi TVs or TV boxes must be rooted to install Google Play.
How to Install Additional Apps?
Present way, side loading through the USB port every time or use file manager like ES Explorer or Google Chrome.
Any Alternative?
There is none so far except for an App called Aptiode-TV. Even Xiaomi manufacturer has no choice but to obtain license from Google to use Google Play which means additional cost to the users.
What is Aptiode-TV?
Aptoide is just like Xiaomi having its own Android Smart TV or set-top box and they came up with Aptoide TV app that has a list of all the apps specially selected for Andriod TV. This Aptoide TV app could be sideloaded to Xiaomi TV using this APK and thereafter, use it just like Google Play without the need to side load the Apps everytime.
Step by Step
1. Download the APK from http://m.aptoide.com/installer-aptoide-tv?lang=enre
or from here.2. Side load it to Xiaomi TV using this method
3. Fire up Aptoide-TV in the Apps Store of Xiaomi TV
4. This screen will come up
5. One can install all the Apps just like Google Store..They have Youtube, Google Chrome, Netflix, games. videos and many more for use in Android TV and bet most of the apps can be used also in Xiaomi TV.. However, the videos and games download must comply with MiTV specification in order for them to work. Have fun

File Note: There are 2 versions of YouTube TV available in Aptiode-TV app: the original Yoube TV (as shown above) and the Smart Youtube TV. The former does not allow user to sign in.

To find the Smart Youtube TV to upload to MiTV, just press the search button on the top left hand corner of Aptiode app and type "Smart Youtube" to search.
The installation is straightforward. Just follow the instruction given.
