Are serious issues with lag normally a problem with Android TV. I have a 2 year old sony bravia that can't stream video and change the volume at the same time. Even just changing the volume literally causes serious audio and video issues for the next 20 seconds or so. I don't want to buy a new TV so I was wondering if this is an issue if i were to buy an Android TV box or something.

I have a shield with storage mounted. In live channels, I select a program hit the middle button then up. I can see the pause, forward, back all that. I can use time shift. Shouldn't there be a red icon I can click to record on that bar?

Anyone else getting the random audio stuttering in YouTube? I've tried clearing cache, uninstalled updates etc and nothing fixes it so far.

Ordered this remote in order to use it with the Nvidia Shield (because volume control on the shield remote is absolute BS).

As it took me a while to figure out how to put it in pairing mode, I thought I would post it for the archives. 😉

How to put remote in pairing mode: Press volume down (-) and center (OK) for approx. 2-3 seconds

Side note: the voice button doesn't work with the shield don't know why and don't really care either.

There was a news story earlier in the year about Sony TVs in the Fall having a better Soc for running Android TV.

I haven't seen any recent updates though. Maybe someone here has an idea when such sets would launch.

Having a bit of a crazy problem, and despite being an IT professional by trade, I'm scratching my head. I got this TV about 6 months ago, and it's been great, but I recently connected it via ethernet since I have spotty wireless coverage where it's sitting.

It works fine when it's on, but as far as I can tell, once it's been asleep for a period of time when wired, it goes into this completely unresponsive state and kills all connectivity for the rest of my network. Unplugging the TV resolves the problem immediately.

I imagine the resolution is going to be "ask Sony for a new TV", but I figured I'd post in case anyone's seen or heard of this before.

So I have a fan theory, and I want to see if anyone else thinks it's plausible.

So you know how Google released the ADT-1 at I/O this year? Well that was an ATV platform, but it surely looked like a Chromecast device, didn't it?

We also saw the Chromecast come back through the FCC with some boosted internals and the addition of Bluetooth. For a Bluetooth remote, maybe?

My theory: Oct 9th, Google will release a new Android TV with a Chromecast form factor with 4k in tow.

TL;DR: New Android TV dongle on Oct 9 with Pixel launch.

My shitty tv has, for some reason, stopped seeing and connecting to my NAS's, every other device I have can still access them. I even tried connecting my ps4 to the tv, and through that, I can connect to my NAS. Tried factory resets and everything.

​

Anyway, I now need some way to access my NAS (3 of them), and would rather not spend too much, as it'll only be used to access NAS and maybe Netflix. I was looking into the Mi Box, but there seem to be a lot of horror stories, and it's also a pretty expensive option for just NAS accessibility.

What other options do I have ?

Thank you.

Edit: The PS4 is used in another room, and cannot stay here.

Not interested an in air mouse or keyboard. Just a mi box or fire tv type remote with physical volume buttons that works really well. Bluetooth is preferred, as my usb ports are taken, but I'd consider a 2.4 dongle.

I have been using fire tv remotes as my primary remote, but this accessibility bug is annoying and I'm ready to move onto something else.

Thanks.

Ever since I got the new update, every app defaults to surround sound, even though I don't have surround. I've changed the audio settings to surround sound never, but it still happens.

I just got Showtime for free with Spotify student discount. There's no surround sound on the app on my Shield. Unfortunately I can't use it through Amazon because you have to sign up for it separately.

Is there any version of the app that supports surround? Does the Fire TV app support surround? If it does I can try the apk for that version. I also have an Apple TV 4k.

Can anyone part of the Shield preview program confirm if the Accessibility settings bug has been fixed with the upcoming update?

I.E. When anything within Accessibility settings is enabled, the launcher partially breaks and doesn't allow the channel header icons to come into a zoomed view.

I want to watch series that I have on my computer on the Mi Box.

Hello everyone. I want to ask. I have Mi box 3, Samsung MU7002 TV. I use the video stream plug-in in Kodi. When I want a stream in 4k hdr, the video is playing for a while, then it just loads. I had a 100Mb speed, an increase of 200Mb, the ac router, still the same. Is Mi Box 3 suitable for this stream? Or better buy Nvidia Shield? Does Shield have a better picture in hdr? Thank you for every answer.

Can't find a good website or app that does its own live refreshing of a current radar weather map, any suggestions?

Hi guys. My local electronics store is doing a great deal on the 55" a1. £1200 bet however it will overhang on my stand by about 1.5" on either side.

Will this be an issue with stability? Any risks of screen damage with it not being supported along the full length?

Thanks in advance.

Any update on adding rating system to Play Store on Android TV?

​

Also, is there a timeline for when Android Pie will make it way?

​

And finally, any news about Google releasing a new official box? With the last two, I'm sure sales aren't as good as they want it to be but is there a way they could improve the live tv content so that old audience could find this as a viable option over cable?
