Hi! Because Shield is getting Nougat and that means support for TV tuners, which TV tuners works with the Shield?

Spoiler: I don't know anything about TV tuners

Does anyone know if the you tube app gets updated in the Nougat 7.0 update? Does the nexus player have a new version? Just curious as the current one hasn't been updated in months on the shield.

From what I understand, you use your Google account on Android TV. How does this work with apps like Gmail, YiuTube or pretty much anything else that contains personal and personalized content? In case of Gmail, would anyone who's using the box be able to access my email? Screw with my YouTube playlists/recommendations?

I just got a MiBox3, and I'd like to be able to use some video streaming sites with free (paid?) content like Hulu, HBO, CBS, etc.

Ideally I'd like a free option, but I may be inclined to something paid if it's worth it. I can't tap into my router, so anything like that would not be an option.

Suggestions?

I'm finding that the audio out of the 3.5mm output is slightly ahead of my TV. Does anyone know if there is a global setting that will delay the audio out of the 3.5mm jack?

Comcast (complete dickbags) block almost everything on AndroidTV, so I'm forced to Google Cast HBOGo from my phone to my Mi Box.

What's really odd to me is that the quality doesn't seem to be any worse than when I would watch HBOGo directly through my old FireStickTV. ie, it still looks noticeably better than the not-so-great, low bitrate MPEG2 1080i stream that I get through my "HD" cable box from Comcast.

So I have a Nvidia Shield tablet, with the controller. This Christmas got a mi box. I was wondering if you guys know if can be possible to use the controller on the mi box. Thanks from Puerto Rico.

I've been building a few simple open source utility apps for Android TV, including the most recent "Family Calendar".

I have one more week of break from college, so I figured this was a good time to hack together another simple TV project.

What kind of app would be the most useful? If you see your idea already listed, upvote that comment so it's easier to parse the comments.

Of course, if any other developers are here and want to help, feel free to join the project.

Hi guys, is there a microphone I can connect to my Sony Android TV? Especially with Google Assistant coming. The model number is KDL-50W800C

how long we will have to wait to have Samsung and LG with AndroidTV? I am amazed by the possibilities that new TV PANELS are bringing to Android-TV OS; take a look at CES2017 LG Wallpaper edition, you can throw away the "media-box" that is connected to by a flat-cable and connect a Android-TV BOX into it, that handles channels, sound, multiple HDMI input and everything else, Samsung also releasing a TV that has fiber-optics connected "media-box" outside the television, so in theory it can be "upgradable" to a Android-TV OS.

I'm trying to find a half decent IPTV for my android TV box. I've tried a few and they don't seem to work. (Not many channels)

So does anyone have any recommendations?

Thanks a bunch!

I'm looking for a smallish (~40 in) TV with Android TV built in. I'm having a hard time tracking this down as all the Bravias and Aquos are larger TVs and are quite expensive. The low cost Hisense and TCLs generally use Roku TV. Obviously, i can always go with a Mi Box paired with a cheap TV, but for useability reasons, I'd really prefer an all-in-one solution like the Bravia TVs.

I never ended up buying the Gen1 Shield Remote because I figured I would still need the TV remote control to control power and volume- now that the Shield Remote has an IR blaster I was wondering if I will be able to use the Gen 2 shield remote with my Gen 1 shield Pro?

I purchased Final Fantasy 3 and 4 for my phone awhile ago and wanted to try them out on my Nvidia ShieldTV. I can download them fine from the app store on the Shield, but when I go to open them, there's nothing but a black screen and no audio. Pressing the back button will bring up the dialogue to close the app, but that's about as much interaction with the games as I can get. I can uninstall and re-install all day with the same result.

I have the 16gb version with the games installed on a usb drive formatted as internal space. Could that be the culprit?

I'm looking for an alternative to the Apple TV Movie Trailer app but for Android TV. Anything that has a sleek interface and works well for latest trailers with no ads and of course in 4k/HD?

In case you were wondering like me...

After 1 year of waiting for a refresh of the ShieldTV or a good contestant, I'm considering buying the new Nvidia Shield TV. But before, I have some concerns about AndroidTV and data collection, privacy, and how Google is spying on me (damn!). I don't really know Android so sorry if I ask common/silly questions, I just want a quick recap of what I can or can't do on this OS.

• What data is collected by Google/Nvidia/tiers companies, when I use the Shield? why and how?

• Can I disable the "always listening" function? (really scary) I don't really need voice command, if needed I mostly prefer talking to the remote after pressing the mic button.

• Should I be worried about anything else? I'm no privacy freak, it's just a TV box, but I don't want to be "fully open" to Google either.

• Also a more practical question : I don't have any Android device, will it impair my use of the ShieldTV? I have a Youtube/Gmail account, I guess it's ok.

• If I ever get an Android smart TV (or any other TV OS) as it is becoming the norm, how will it interact with the ShieldTV? Will I have a hard time with duplicate functions?
