Watching RTS TV on PC gives you a much bigger screen, better audio, and a far more comfortable experience for long matches and TV serials. The good news is that getting the RTS TV APK running on your Windows computer is not complicated. It takes a few steps but is well within reach for anyone comfortable using a computer.
This guide walks you through two proven methods for running RTS TV on Windows 10 and Windows 11, with clear steps for each.
Can You Watch RTS TV on a PC?
Yes. While RTS TV is an Android application and is not natively built for Windows, you can run it on any Windows PC using either an Android emulator or the Windows Subsystem for Android (available on Windows 11).
Both methods work reliably and give you full access to all features, including live channels, sports streaming, and offline downloads. The experience on a large monitor with a proper speaker setup is noticeably better than watching on a small phone screen.
What You Need Before Installing RTS TV on PC
Before you begin, make sure your PC meets the following requirements:
- Operating System: Windows 10 (64-bit) or Windows 11
- RAM: At least 4 GB (8 GB recommended for smooth emulator performance)
- Storage: At least 10 GB of free disk space
- Internet: A stable broadband or Wi-Fi connection
- RTS TV APK file: Download the latest version from rtstv.com.in
Once you have these ready, choose either method below.
Method 1 — Install RTS TV for PC Using an Android Emulator
An Android emulator creates a virtual Android environment on your Windows PC. This is the most widely used method and works on both Windows 10 and 11.
Step 1: Download an Android Emulator
Popular emulators that work well with RTS TV include BlueStacks, LDPlayer, and NoxPlayer. Download any one of these from their official website and install it on your PC like a standard program.
Step 2: Set Up the Emulator
Once installed, open the emulator. It will ask you to sign in with a Google account. This step is optional for sideloading APK files, but completing it gives you access to the full Android environment inside the emulator.
Step 3: Download the RTS TV APK
On your PC browser, go to rtstv.com.in and download the latest RTS TV APK file. Save it somewhere easy to find, like your Desktop or Downloads folder.

Step 4: Install RTS TV Inside the Emulator
Drag and drop the downloaded APK file directly into the emulator window. Most emulators will recognise the file and begin installation automatically. If not, look for an “Install APK” option in the emulator’s sidebar menu.
Once installation is complete, the RTS TV app icon will appear in the emulator’s app drawer. Click it to launch and start watching.
Method 2 — Use Windows Subsystem for Android
If you are on Windows 11, you have an additional option: the Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA). This is a built-in feature from Microsoft that allows Android apps to run natively on Windows 11 without a third-party emulator.
To use this method, enable WSA from the Microsoft Store, then sideload the RTS TV APK using the ADB (Android Debug Bridge) command-line tool.
This method is more technical but gives slightly better performance since you are not running a separate emulator program. The steps in brief:
- Enable Developer Mode in Windows 11 settings.
- Install Windows Subsystem for Android from the Microsoft Store.
- Download ADB tools and connect to the WSA instance.
- Run
adb install rtstv.apkfrom the command line using the downloaded APK from rtstv.com.in. - Launch RTS TV from the Start menu or taskbar.
For most users, Method 1 with an emulator is simpler and produces the same viewing experience.
Why Watch RTS TV on PC Instead of Mobile?
There are several strong reasons to choose the PC setup over mobile viewing.
Screen size is the most obvious benefit. Watching live cricket on a 24-inch monitor or larger is a completely different experience compared to a 6-inch phone screen.
Multitasking is far easier on a PC. You can keep the match running in one window while browsing or working in another, which is not comfortable on a phone.
Better audio output when connected to external speakers or headphones on a PC makes commentary and background music significantly clearer.
No battery drain concerns mean you can watch a full day of cricket or a movie marathon without worrying about plugging in your phone repeatedly.

Troubleshooting Common Issues on PC
RTS TV is not installing inside the emulator: Make sure “Unknown Sources” or “Install from Unknown Sources” is enabled in the emulator’s security settings. This is the same setting required for Android phones.
App is running slowly on PC: Close other programs while running the emulator. Increasing the RAM allocation inside the emulator settings (usually under Performance) helps significantly.
Video is buffering constantly: This is almost always a network issue, not an app issue. Check your internet speed. RTS TV streams in HD, which requires at least 5 Mbps for smooth playback.
App crashes on launch: Delete the emulator’s cache from its settings and relaunch. If the problem continues, uninstall the app from within the emulator and reinstall using a freshly downloaded APK from rtstv.com.in.
