Time keeps resetting on JVC Smart Android TV(s)

Hello there, I recently bought a second JVC Smart Android TV for my bedroom (Model LT-50CA890 50") I already had a 58" version of the same TV in my sitting room so I knew that they were good. For the last 3 to 4 weeks whenever I switch the TVs off at the walls then they lose the inputted time and default back to the 8th of Feb 2021, I have tried it with get time from internet source turned on and off, I have plugged tp link powerline adapters into both TVs and both on WiFi and nothing works.
While I can set the time I don't want to have every time I switch it on after I return home. Both TVs are on the latest software and have the same gmail account and have location on. I have the timezone set to Dublin as I live in Ireland, I can't access YouTube or Netflix without setting the time and I couldn't find any fixes online.
Any help would great.

Thanks

Is there an Android TV device out there, that just gives me snappy apps?

I probably worded that weirdly but let me explain.

Yesterday I received the new Apple TV 4k. Sound was quieter, picture quality was worse than with my built in apps (Sony X94J), so much fiddling just so everything ended up worse.

Are there Android TV devices out there, that would basically just give me a snappy menu with good performance but not touch anything regarding picture enhancement or sound enhancement? Basically let my TV and my soundbar handle everything just like it does now without a streaming box?

I was mainly looking at the Chromecast because I like the Google TV UI

What are the best (non-US) streaming services to download/sideload and use with a VPN?

I'm from the US and recently discovered the wonders of VPNs. What are the best streaming services out there? For example, my parents love RAI TV from Italy and I have it sideloaded to their Android boxes. And it's free!

That's just an example and I'd personally prefer English language. What's out there that are good?

Had it with Roku

I bought a used Roku XR from a yard sale 12 years ago and that started me on my home entertainment/plex/streaming journey. Fast forward to 5 years ago, we've had Roku 3s everywhere. Decided to buy a 4 because I wanted a faster unit - we didn't have 4K yet. We finally got a 4K tv and it's wonderful. Can't believe we waited so long. Anyway, the Roku4 kinda sucks. I feel like I'm rebooting it so damn often. I wanna change it up, so can someone recommend a decent, powerful alternative? I know zero about Android TV boxes at the moment.

google should add the ability to add shortcuts to the quick menu in Google tv

Like, when long pressing the home button, the menu is pretty bare, with most of it empty, you should be able to add shortcuts for apps on there

Any thirdparty remotes for a Philips TV with Android

Hi guys,

I have a Philips TV with Android.

I don't like the remote because of all the buttons I don't need, like a Netflixbutton, a Rakuten button etc.

I don't use the smart functions of it. I only need the TV as a monitor for my Apple TV and my PS5.

Are there any (Bluetooth) remotes with simpler designes, that I can connect to a TV with Android?

The Xbox App for Android TV (not the Game Pass)

Wassup y'all. I've made the Xbox app to work on the Android TV.

Straight to the business: https://gofile.io/d/5POePT (will be probably gone in a month, there's a copy here in Russian but you'll need to register).

You'll need an Xbox controller and probably a wired/wireless mouse or something that acts like a mouse with a pointer on the screen. Just a remote with buttons won't let you to click through the initial authorization. You'll require just a controller once you've authorized.
Get a mod and the ATV apk to add the shortcut. I've only tested the v7a build, it works.

How to patch the APK yourself

Get the apk for your ABI. You can use this (broken for now) or apkmirror. Unpack it with apktool, get the assets/index.android.bundle. Decompile the bundle using hbctool. Open the instruction.hasm, find Function<getDeviceType> there. Take the function identifier, the "Tablet" string identifier from the LoadConstString (UInt16:123456) instruction and make the function to look like this:

Function<getDeviceType>27302(1 params, 12 registers, 0 symbols):
GetEnvironment Reg8:0, UInt8:1
LoadFromEnvironment Reg8:1, Reg8:0, UInt8:3
LoadConstString Reg8:1, UInt16:36526
; Oper[1]: String(36526) 'Tablet'
Ret Reg8:1
EndFunction

Make sure to replace the function identifier (27302) and the string identifier (36526) with yours because they change every compilation.
Once done, recompile the bundle, replace the bundle, recompile the apk, sign it and try sideloading. This will probably be enough.
