Can android dev software let me emulate and android tv setup and let me download from the playstore?

by ledhendrix

I am from Canada and am trying to get US TV channel apk for android tv. I can get most of what I want but there are some apps I cannot get. Being that I am in Canada, I can't get access to the US playstore, even with the use of the VPN.

This leads me to my question. There is android development software that lets you run a virtual android machine. I wanted to know, if I were to run this, and run an android TV virtual machine, could I then download the apks myself from the store?

I haven't much knowledge about android TVs but a bit about android itself.

Did you try to download the apk file from the Web (without playstore, via a Webbrowser [but be careful there are some unserious sites out with attached viruses in apks]), put it on a USB stick and install it from the stick
