Anyone think ADT-2 will become a new Android TV Device?

With Nexus Players dying left and right the past few months, Shield TV being relatively over priced, and the MiBox having its own issues, I'm really crossing my fingers for something new from Google. I have the Shield Pro in my living room, and it's great, but I'd like something in the $100 price point for other rooms in the house.

Has anyone heard any rumors about a production release of ADT-2? Maybe during the Pixel 3 announcement?

IPVanish...

How come whenever there's a post related to VPN recommendations I never see anyone talk up IPVanish? I've been using it for a couple of years and not had any noticeable problems. Are there better options out there? I'd be willing to switch to another if so, preferably with Android TV & Amazon Fire TV support.

I can't find any sorting at all... Is this serious, just got my box and if it lacks features like this I really can't see the point over just casting

VPN Recommendations

I'm running a 3 day trial of NordVPN right now. The good thing is I've found the source of my buffering frustrations for certain streams, AT&T throttling.

My problem is I'd like a VPN solution that only runs on specific apps. I don't see any options for this with Nord. I'm running a Shield TV.

Thank you for your suggestions.

Any PDF reader that scrolls multiple lines at a time?

I sideload Acrobat Reader to my Mibox 3c, and the scrolling is just one line at the time. The remote can't repeat the command in a long press, so it's a pain in the ass to turn the page.

Why are android updates called OTA?

Not a question for AndroidTV specifically, but since its relevant;

Why are android updates called over the air updates?

No android uses uhf/vhf to update afaik. And they are all, over the internet instead.

Reelgood-type experience for Android TV?

I stumbled across Reelgood recently, which aggregates the catalogs of streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, HBO, etc into one searchable user interface. Click the show you want and it launches the app and cues up the show for you. I haven't used it so I can't speak to how well it works, but the premise is fantastic. It's what I thought channels on the new Oreo launcher would be (alas...).

But sadly, Reelgood is ios only at the moment. Supposedly Android is "coming soon" but as best I can tell they've been saying that for years, and no telling if ATV will also be supported.

It's really frustrating to have to go in and out of FXNow, and Netflix, and HBO, and Hulu, and CBS All Access, and.... you get the idea.

Or maybe I'm missing something and ATV already has something like this?

Some questions as a new android TV user

Hi guys, I recently bought a 55 inch Sony XF90 in The Netherlands, and made a similar post in the r/bravia subreddit I have some questions Android TV that I hope some of you can answer:

Does the inbuilt chromecast support HDR? I've seen conflicting posts on this. I read somewhere that the inbuilt youtube app doesn't but if you cast youtube from your phone it does? But how can it if the chromecast doesn't even support HDR in the first place!

How do I enter or switch between the inbuilt chromecast and other apps? (I mean the chromecast mode with a changing background like it would appear if you had an ordinary chromecast). The inbuilt chromecast doesn't appear on my recents bar.

What apps DO support HDR? I know netflix does, and dolby vision looks AMAZING on it. But does amazon prime video, plex, kodi, youtube etc. as well?

Sorry if the questions are too long guys, but help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Advice whether to get Minix Neo A3 remote for my new shield TV?

Waiting for my Shield to come in and thought about getting this remote while shopping for the best box. I want the simplest experience and wanted to know how easy it is to operate the shield with the stock remote / controller. I got the package.
The big pain that I had with a firestick is the time consuming and repetitive method of going one by one. The mimic remote has a keyboard and learns my TV infrared so I can minimize the amount of remotes I use as well. So does it make sense to get it a3 it will I have a smooth experience with the stock shield remote/ controller?

Thank you all.

Edit: change stick to stock. :)
