I bought a Sony bravia xbr65x750d a couple of weeks ago. I'm very disappointed with the picture quality of the espn app. It seems awfully pixelated. I also use PS vue. If I watch espn on that the quality is much better. Is there anything I can do?

Does anyone have any experience with LiquidSky and the Nvidia Shield? I am a casual gamer and Geforce Now has been pretty good with their game selection, but I was curious if Liquidsky is any good. Are the games from Steam and is the connection any good?

are their disadvantages to doing this? is it still posible to install a custom rom and use the remote and control pad? thanks

Hello, there is a dvb-t usb key and a nice app that work with Android TV ? It's hard to find infos on the net, all the apps and infos that i can find is about Android stock.

By default the power button will put it into sleep mode but by going into the settings menu and setting it to "shutdown" in Power key definition, you would only get a reboot option when you press the power key.

How would you completely shut the unit down?

Hello all! I apologise if this is the wrong subreddit to post in.

I'm a UI/UX designer looking to collaborate on AndroidTV projects. If any developers have ideas they'd like to see come to light please PM me for portfolio info or just to bounce some ideas off :)

My preferred project would be an IPTV app that takes m3u8 lists and turns them into a delightful EPG. But i'm also open to working on other projects.

I'm not looking for paid work here! Looking to create fun + useful tools for the community and users that solve our big screen issues. Free + paid versions of apps are something i'd be interested in, regardless, it's not really about money for me.

I noticed that with the MiBox remote, while playing video fullscreen, if I press the center button, it pops up the UI. But if I hold the center button, it pauses/plays (like "enter" on keyboard.)

Is there any way to reverse this behavior? It seems more natural to me to use a quick press of center button to pause/play.

Is there any way to disable the autoplay of random videos after the video you asked it to play completes? I don't see anything in settings or any controls elsewhere for this.

I am also having similar issues. Funny thing is, I side loaded the tablet version and it worked fine. There are a couple of things I am currently wondering...

Although I bought the device in the US, I am streaming with it in Canada. Wonder if Netflix is getting confused with my Canadian IP.

Since the TV app is supposed to stream in higher quality, Netflix is pickier on the device it runs on and checks DRM, which may even run as deep as the HDMI connection. I.e. if a well negotiated connection with the TV is not established, it drops the stream. I'll be able to test this soon.

Any other insights?

Has anyone had an issue with Hulu on the Mi Box? Mine will randomly lock up when starting an ad. The progress circle shows up on the top left but the ad doesn't start. I have to back out of the app and go back in and watch the ad, then a few seconds of what I already saw, then another ad. This doesn't happen every time I watch but it happens enough to be an issue for me.

I contacted Hulu support on Twitter and was told they don't support the Mi Box and that I needed to contact Xiaomi directly. Not sure why I'd contact a manufacturer for an app issue.

I've tried factory resetting and it hasn't fixed anything.

I just got an amazon tap and paired it with my mi box. Every time I turn the mi box off and back on or use the tap with another device and then try to use it again with the mi box I have to un-pair and re-pair it. Anyone know a trick for getting it to reconnect automatically?

Hopefully someone can help me. I wake in the morning and my TV is on with the Screen saver of the Mi Box showing. First time it happened thought it was a one off but it is on every morning.

It never happens during the day.

Hello all! I have a Sony XBR65X850C and just purchased a Google Home. I'm unable to use the Home to control the TV (I mainly care about sending videos to cast and voice controls of those videos). I know this is because the current cast version of the tv set is 1.19(and some change), and that Google Home requries the version to be at 1.21.

What I am not sure about is how often Android TV sets receive cast version updates... If it is only periodically- when Sony pushes larger firmware updates- I am going to be waiting quite some time for support. It might not ever come.

Has anybody else had any luck with Google Home + Android TV?

Should I just go out and buy a Chromecast Ultra and disable the cast functions of the set itself?

EDIT: Thanks to 513. Run your play store updates fellow idiots!

When Chromecasting to the Mi Box from another computer is there any way I can pause the video from my phone without removing into the computer from TeamViewer?

I've tried everything, reinstalling, clearing cache and data, resetting the box, resetting the router, etc. Nothing. Any tips?

Also did the network check. Device is connecting to all 3 netflix servers fine.

I just recently got the Mi Box and trying to sideload apps made me realize that most of the apps require a keyboard/mouse combo to control properly. However, from what I hear, Android Box is just running (old) versions of Android and while it's not elegant, the remote can control the apps that you can install on the OS (which is presumably all apps on Android) and do everything without a keyboard/mouse. How can this be? Why doesn't Android TV remotes as capable as Android Boxes?
