Plugging in the ethernet connection to the rear of your TV should cause it to automatically perform a firmware update. There is some confusion over how to get a direct firmware update as a number of people are having similar issues with their Visio TV's and no definitive firmware build/info is on the official site. This site may be of help in activating app features on your tv but I'm not sure if it applicable to your particular model -
1 Verify that your Vizio Smart TV is connected to the Internet using a wireless or wired connection. An Internet connection is required to add and install new apps.
2 Power on your television and press the "V" button on your remote. This will access the App Bar.
3 Use the arrow keys on your remote to highlight either the Yahoo TV Store or CTV Store. Your options will vary depending on the model of your Vizio Smart TV.
4 Press "OK" to launch the app store. A list of all available apps will display on-screen.
5 Browse through the app store to find the app you want installed on your television. Examples of app categories you can choose from are Videos, Games, Sports, Lifestyle, Education, and more.
6 Highlight the app you want added to your Vizio Smart TV, then press "OK."
If you have Chrome cast with Google assistant paired to your Tv... ask Google Assistant to "change the channel to ESPN (or YouTube) on the living room tv.
(I had not figured out how to add apps I actually want... Google Assistant or Alexa works for me.) No app is needed.
For the older Vizio E43-C2, there is a Vizio App button on the remote. This button has a V symbol on it and is between the channel up/down and volume up/down buttons.
I hope this helps. You can find more information on the Vizio support pages for each TV. For the 2016 E43-D2 go to https://www.vizio.com/e43d2.html then click on the Support/Manuals tab. For the 2015 E43-C2, see https://support.vizio.com/s/article/E43-C2-Model-Information and scroll down.
