I could not get very far, there's no Google Play Store available to do anything.

Hi there @namsilat 
Thank you for your post.
Are you able to share which receiver model you have? 
Looking forward to hearing back.

[namsilat]

this is the information from MyBell's page about the receiver:

VIP5662 - 4K Whole Home PVR

Hi there @namsilat 
The reason why you are not able to get to the PlayStore is because the VIP5662 does not have this ability. This thread and the referenced receiver is for our VIP7802 (Fibe TV box).

Any chance I can upgrade TV box to VIP7802?
