Just curious what everyone considers to be handy and useful apps to have sideloaded on your Android tvs. Personally mine are Terrarium and Mobdro.

As the title says I've just installed a firmware update that has added support for Amazon Alexa to turn the tv on and off, adjust volume, adjust channels etc. I'm not really understanding why Sony (or whoever is in charge) would be pushing towards supporting a rivals product over its own? Can anyone shed some light on this..

I am done with Nvidia dragging their feet supporting Dolby Vision. Apple TV wins the streaming box race now with Atmos support.

I recently got a mi box (last week) and I have unknown sources allowed from within kodi as well as the system settings on the mi box however i still can not load a repository from the zip file from within kodi. I thought i was going mad but then tried the exact same thing on my pc and it worked perfectly - Is there another setting I am missing ?

Does VPN work in 8.0 Oreo Update ?

Can we connect to a VPN host natively through the network settings or do we have to connect an app from the Play Store to connect like ipvanish does it work in oreo?

Are there any good ways to level the volume between apps? I have my Bravia connected via ARC to a Denon AVR and everytime I switch between YouTube and Netflix I need to adjust the volume by about 10db to keep the same level.

Remember back in December/January when Amazon uploaded the app to the Play Store? Everyone was saying it was finally coming.

But I still see it as incompatible with my Nexus Player, and didn't hear any news since then.

Is this going to happen or not?

My wife and I like to watch YouYube videos on our Shield TV, which we bought to replace our Roku.

On the Roku, we could start off in the app, then connect using the cast icon in the YouTube app to add more videos to the queue.

In Android TV, the cast icon hijacks the entire Shield and switches it to the built-in Chromecast functionality.

Is there a way to get the Roku’s behavior?

Im running a Brinonac android 7.1 and cant seem to figure out how to change my speed from the 2.4g to the 5g. When I run a speed test on my device its telling me my download is insanely slow and only 5.57 (I pay for 900mbps). Any ideas how I can fix this issue?

HBO seems to do this as well but Showtime does it a higher frequency. I'm guessing it's a way to block people from using someone elses login but for legitimate users it's obnoxious

Hello, I just bought a Mi Box (MDZ-16-AB) yesterday. I took it out from its box, set it up with my Android phone (Xiaomi Mi 5s), it connected to the internet and worked great, for a couple of hours.

After that, after I unplug and replug it once, it stopped connecting to wi-fi completely. I've tried EVERYTHING. Factory reset both modem and device couple of times, changed channels on my router (tried every channel), tried different router and different wi-fi network, tried connecting it to my phone's hotspot (with and without password), tried connecting through static IP and finally installed firmware version 1304 (original install was V.6.0.1.-1901). Nothing is working. What to do? I don't want to return this brand new device to warranty and wait 3-4 weeks for them to do nothing.

I'm currently using the non-modified version APK on my Mibox 3. The only channel Im having problems with is ESPN and ESPN 2. There is a sudden skip all the time and frame drops. Anybody else noticing it on Mibox 3 and Firetv ?

Is there an official page or blog of the company where I can stay informed about this?

This is the message I receive from GA on my Shield TV if I tell it to go to a channel in PlayStation Vue, a service I've used for almost a year with no location issues. Any advice?

Does anyone know where I can find the iplayer app on a sony android tv? Does it play/stream in 4k, wishing to use it to stream upcoming world cup matches.

I've been experiencing some blurry images while streaming video apps on my Shield TV. I want to start my investigation by checking the speed I'm getting through my ethernet connection.

I have my box connected directly to the modem with a cable and I'm supposed to be getting 300/mb speeds but it seems like I'm not getting what I'm paying for.

If someone could recommend a good speed test app I would appreciate it!

I have sony android tv 43x8000e and i want to set up ipv4 and ipv6 dns at the same time. But i don't know how. I only be able to set up ipv4 DNS.
