Setting up your Sony Smart TV to use My Private Network’s MyTelly service should take just a few minutes by following the steps below. Please note that your Smart TV needs to be connected to a Wi-Fi or Ethernet with Internet and able to browse the web before moving on with the instructions below. You do not need to be connected to our VPN for MyTelly to work, kindly disconnect from the VPN if you have it turned on.
Whilst the Smart TV has an inbuilt web browser, we recommend that you use a computer to register your IP Address on our network.
