What you need

Claude Code, or any coding agent, on the computer that will run Guest TV.

• A computer that stays onA Mac, a Linux box or a Raspberry Pi, on the same Wi-Fi as the TV.
• Claude Code, installed and signed inIt does the setup now and runs the Ask box later, on your own Claude plan. Get Claude Code.
• The TV remote, and you at the TVThe TV may ask you to press Allow, or show a PIN to read out.
• Your Wi-Fi and streaming sign insYou type passwords and sign in to apps yourself. The agent never does.

1. Open Claude Code

   On the computer that stays on, open Terminal in a folder you will keep, type claude and press Return.

2. Paste this

   Set up guest-tv on my TV. Clone https://github.com/Seagey/guest-tv into this folder, read README.md and AGENTS.md, and walk me through it one question at a time.

   Copy

3. Answer its questions

   The same ones the setup asks, one at a time:

   • a guest room, or a place guests stay
   • which TV, and its address (on the TV: Settings, Network, About)
   • what guests may control, and in which rooms
   • which streaming apps are signed in
   • how much the helper may do: it reads you the three levels and the risk of each, and recommends Locked

4. Do the TV bits it asks for

   Press Allow on the TV, read it a PIN, or sign in to a streaming app. It tells you what it can't do on that TV before it starts, and says how to undo it.

5. Try it like a guest

   Scan the Guest remote code and ask for something. Before it finishes it reminds you of three things: everything on one Wi-Fi, the computer never sleeps, Claude Code stays signed in.

It never signs in to anything for you, never reads your Wi-Fi password from the computer, and never picks the Open level for you. Those rules are in Guest TV's own notes for agents, which it reads before it starts.

Good to know

• On a Google TV, Android TV or Fire TV it offers the quick way first: the Guest TV app through Downloader, no ADB.
• Every TV that is not Google TV or Android TV keeps its own Home button. Guest TV opens on top each time the TV comes on, and the Guest remote's Home key always brings it back.
• Beta TVs: Roku, Hisense VIDAA, Philips, Panasonic, VIZIO, Apple TV and Fire TV on Vega OS. If you have one, an issue on GitHub saying how it went helps everyone after you.
