I really wish Google TV would alert you when new episodes of a show you're watching become available. That's something that should be in the "for you" section I would think.

Hi guys. So I have a wallmart Onn tv box and just bought a bluetooth keyboard. I was able to connect it but the key (del) won't work. I've installed various keyboard apps, including the button mapper but still fail to make it work, also the latter won't allow me to remap that key since there isn't a delete choice available. I don't know what to do. The other keys are fine, in fact, the (back) key goes back as it should and I thought it may do the work but it doesn't either. Please help. Thank you.

I'm currently on a Firestick 4k streaming device and I'm looking to make the jump to a more vanilla Android TV experience. What are some good recommendations? I know that there is Chromecast and Roku and Nvidia Shield but are there other options people would recommend? I'm overwhelmed by the sheer number of smaller Android TV Box options so any guidance would be great!

Ideally, I'm looking for a device that provides me a lot of the same functionality as my current Firestick 4k (sans Amazon Prime as I know that isn't possible) BUT:

- No ads. I want to buy a device, not a billboard

- Need to be able to easily integrate Jellyfin and/or Kodi as well as support most major streaming services (except Amazon Prime since I know it's not an option)

- Able to sideload apps easily

- If possible, be able to even sideload different launchers (RIP Wolflauncher after my Firestick updated) and maybe even different OS!

- Respects my privacy

- As close to vanilla Android TV as I can get with as little Google stuff as possible.

I appreciate any insight!

Hey Guys,

Iam searching for a new Streaming Device.

And I looks like the Xiaomi TV Stick 4K got every thing I need. But I can't find out if its possible to connect an ethernet cable with an ethernet Adapter over Micro USB.

So can someone tell me ? I Know that the 1080p Version can't do this.

I had the H8F and loved it despite the laggy UI. My son unfortunately broke it so now I'm back to a 2009 model 1080p dumb TV with a Chromecast. Looking for a cheapish 4K HDR TV to fully take advantage of the PS5 visuals, and would prefer an Android TV since my house is littered with Nest products.

Also, I'm a bit out of the loop, but I'm seeing some marketed as Android TVs and others marketed as Google TVs. Are these essentially the same?

They also keep playing in the background even if you minimize the app.

At least it does on both my Shields, I assume the same for all Android TV based devices. The problem is finding 4k content. There isn’t much, but it’s there- be nice if Peacock made it easier to find.

Edit- I noticed the latest build does not output HDR on my Shield. I installed build 3.9.23 and that one works.

So I have a Android TV setup box with a TV tuner built in. It comes with an app to watch the tv channels.

I want to be able to watch the tv channels on another Android TV box that doesn't have a TV tuner built in. Is it possible to stream the app/make it into an IPTV channel?

I recently got the Onn device but was wondering how to access the files on my device to stream on the TV. When I open the media player I'm able to scroll through the folders on my phone but it says they're empty when they definitely aren't. Any ideas on what I need to do?

Every app icon on my home row now takes me to the google play store where I have to press “open” to launch the app.

Any idea on how do I fix this? I have already attempted a restart to no avail.

Hi!

I am currently running a pretty old Android (6.0.1) Box from china. The box sometimes doesn't boot so I am looking for something new.

What is the best box, that is currently available (not for preorder or something like that)? Would be great if i could buy it with shipping from germany. I don't really want to wait for an import while my daily driver is half broken.

needed features:

• Ethernet

• Netflix/Prime Video/Disney Plus

• Future proof (I'd rather pay more for a device that will be supported for a longer time)

• I do like privacy, so I'd rather not buy Amazon/Google Products and also not have Google Assistant

• a good way to get surround audio

Any recommendations?

Anyone using the MI TV P1? How's the tv holding up? I have been considering this tv for quite a while now, however, I have come to notice that MI tvs are not very reliable, as I saw people complaining about the screen flickering issues on mi tv 4s models. Anyone having the same issues with the P1?

The model is Thomson oathpro max. Started facing this randomly since yesterday

How can I prevent the Android TV launcher from switchting to the new Google TV inspired UI? When I uninstall updates and delete data for the app and disable auto-updates in the Play Store, I have the old less intrusive UI but after a few minutes it will change to the new UI anways so this must be some kind of server side update. When deleting the app data again, it will switch back to the old UI, but only briefly. Any way to prevent this?

Hi! I recently purchased a Panasonic tx-55lx650b (2022) with Android TV OS.

I was wondering if it's possible to have the Android TV home as the default input as I turn on the TV? For some reason the TV always defaults to HDMI 2?

Thanks!
