We have had an overwhelming amount of support and traffic from this subreddit for the Mi Box so we though for 11.11 we would cut the price from £79 --> £69 for one day only. We will be making very minimal profit (if any) on this sale, but we want to give back to you guys (or girls).
The sale starts tomorrow at 9am GMT and finished at 11:30pm GMT.

Any questions email us at help@thesolutionshop.co.uk or on live chat (if available).
Thanks again for all the great support we've had from you.
Thanks,

So I've been reading about this and I'm a bit confused.
First I want to clarify that I live in EU and use DVB-T2 (digital TV is broadcasted to an antenna in my house and that signal is decodified by the built in tuner in the tv. So no cable nor satellite.)
--> Now, it seems like the only/best option to get live TV in AndroidTV is connecting the device to an existent server (you get a tuner like Tablo or HDHomeRun that connects to your router and sets a network that distribute live tv to every device in the house).
--> Other option is live tv via the internet but it's not as convenient and a waste of bandwith. Besides, many of this web streams are not legal so this isn't reliable.
--> So my question is, why isn't this easier? Why can't you just connect a DVB-T2 tuner to an AndroidTV device and just watch live TV? Or you indeed can? Is the software part missing?
My understanding is the tuner would give the device the decodified signal and it just have to play it (I think in Windows at least is this way, no need for software if you don't want fancy things, it's plug and play in whatever multimedia player).
Thanks.
I saw some guys talking in this thread. Is it the exact same protocol. Will an Android TV device always work exactly the same as a Chrome Cast device? I am 90% sure my next media box will be an Android TV device, I just want to make sure.
Let me know if I posted this in the wrong place. Sorry.
I've rushed the release for election night, the new Livestream puppet contained in the SCRAPEY repo lets you watch strange livestream coverage across the spectrum of opinion.
Another interesting puppet is the new #Pastey puppet which lets you easily scrape M3U playlist files shared on Pastebin.com.
PuppetMaster.TV can be installed from Google Play:

The new RepoTag SCRAPEY has these two puppets and introduces the new settings functionality.
The old RepoTag REKODI has rewrites of many popular addons in Kodi's official addon repository.
The Revue, for all its failings, had a [fantastic wireless keyboard.] (http://www7.pcmag.com/media/images/237889-logitech-revue-with-google-tv-keyboard-remote.jpg)
Anyone successfully used it with a Shield? I think I read once that it could be paired with a standard Logitech dongle thingy.
