so When my tv just updated to ver 6.0 android tv (its a 2015 sony with android tv). sling tv works well. but I saw that google play channel for trailers is now added to my regular channel list (which there is no input on).
I went through the settings and there isn't a way to directly do it. or potentially possibly? but I guess it doesn't harm to ask people that know more than me
according to this page
https://developer.android.com/training/tv/tif/index.html
its possible to basically in my uneducated terms add digital internal app sources of video as input to the channels in your tv. so you "supposedly" can just browse the channels on your tv input. am not sure if Sling tv added as a channel or the channels within sling can be added each to your tv input list
that would make iptv the best thing ever. anyone done it? I hope am not confusing anyone. its not the biggest of deals but man it would be such a nice QoL

Google’s Android TV Operator Tier has been a game-changer, allowing TV companies to own the television user interface and have their service as the default view for customers. Amino have an interesting proposition – not just pure Android TV set-tops (like its ‘Amigo’) but hybrids (i.e. the Amino ‘Kamai’) that will support both Linux and Android as the OS that you can then build your television and user experience upon. That means an operator can start with their choice of middleware running on Linux, and then switch to Android if they want, running the same middleware. They displayed this capability on their stand, with Nordija middleware running on both Linux and Android, providing the same view of the operator TV service.
If you want a real indication of how the market is warming to Android TV then that was on the ARRIS stand, where their Android set-top boxes were given prominence. There are few companies that are more deeply embedded into the ‘traditional’ operator world and Android TV is now viewed as a big part of the future, together with RDK. ARRIS was promoting its Android STBs and its professional service capabilities for helping operators migrate to Android.
Aside of the set-top boxes themselves, a number of user experience/user interface (UX/UI) providers announced their Android ‘launchers’, which sounds like a new kind of product but amounts to the UX layer that sits on top of an Android OS using the Operator Tier version. Android is becoming another OS for these TV experiences to sit upon.
I got asked to review an android box on amazon, so this chinese guy shipped me one for essentially the cost of shipping ($8). I'm a little concerned about it potentially having a virus/malware. Has anyone heard of this happening? The most recent security update was May 2017 and when i tried to update it says there are no new ones. Also, there was an app installed called superuser, which i assume gives root access to the box? And lastly, the box had unknown sources enabled already.
Oh and to add to more shady shit, the seller no longer has their listings on Amazon.ca. They're all gone, and the seller account seems gone as well. I msg the user on facebook, but he hasn't respond yet. I told him i need the link for the listing, so I can give a proper review.

Maybe I'm being paranoid, i'm not sure. But I figure i'd play it safe anyway. It was connected to the internet shortly, until I got suspicious.
Any suggestions/feedback?
Checking my router log, my Mi Box keeps dropping nodes. Its making things like YouTube, IPTV, etc buffer. https://i.imgur.com/68oKeMG.jpg
What could this be? I've taken some steps to correct it to no avail. Disabled IPv6 & set the Mi Box to DMZplus. Doesn't help much. This is the only device in the log doing this.
Its running wireless with the router literally right next to it, 5GHz mode. I haven't tried 2.4GHz mode yet & have a USB 3 Ethernet adapter coming so I can see what a wired connection does. Can you guys think of anything else I can try? Really don't wanna switch to another device but will if I have to.
