I'm looking at buying a Sony XBR43x830C. I was wondering if I can use it as an alarm clock where it'll automatically turn its self on and launch say Pandora at a set time in the morning?

any nexus player remote apps besides Android TV app that has a mouse and keyboard that doesn't require root thanks and works

I know that HD-Homerun is the way to go if I wanted to watch live TV on my shield but a second hand slingbox solo retails for around £12 ($17) and accepts component input (no TV tuner) streaming. I could also get a slingbox pro for £10 ($14) which features a TV tuner and HDMI streaming but isn't as widely supported. There are some much newer and more powerful models but they cost around the same as the HDH Connect And I'd rather go for that if I had to.

Both devices are several years old (2007 release) and have depreciated in value and support which makes me doubt how useful they'd be but for a budget build being substantially cheaper than the cheapest HD Homerun device are they worth a gamble?

Has anyone had any experience with slingboxes? do they work ok?

EDIT: Ok guys, it's ordered now & I'll set it up when I can. Thanks for all your help.

Sorry for a double post, people jumping to conclusions instead of answer the question resulted in making a more complete post.

So if I am stream Hulu and set the sleep timer on my TV, when the TV turns off what does the Nexus Player do?

Will it pause, return to the home screen, or just keep on streaming?

I usually set the sleep timer on the TV and fall asleep to whatever I am watching. I don't want the Nexus Player to keep on streaming all night once the TV turns off.

Getting sick of all the bugs with this box and lack of updates. Anyone know when this is supposed to be released?

could someone tell me what's some live TV apps I could install on my nexus player besides kodi thanks

Just got my first best cam and am curious if there is a way to view them on my android TV?

Has anyone found a charter Spectrum TV app apk that works with the latest Sony Android tvs? Every one I try crashes my TV upon initial load.

Hi, my philips android tv 49pus7150/12 keeps on showing android logo and after that I can enter menu but then it goes back to android logo. What can I do? How can I reset this? This happened randomly this morning and I can't fix it. Please help!

Hey, I'm searching for a good way to easily manage my files on my nexus player. So far, an ftp server seems like the best way to go about that. The only problem is, I can't seem to find one that will constantly run in the background. Does anyone know of a way (or an app) that will allow me to do this? Thanks!

Anyone else experiencing this. It barely lasts a song or two before giving up the ghost. Very frustrating.

Edit: clearing app data seems to have fixed it.

I emailed the developers of the FuboTV app (live soccer streaming) about supporting Android TV. This was the answer:

Hi,

It is definitely in our plans to develop an app for Android TV devices. I haven't been given any set time frame on when that might be released though. But please check back with us :)

Thanks for checking out fuboTV! Please let me know if you have anymore questions for us. I'd be happy to answer them for you!

Kind regards, Viviana

For those of us who don't want to spend extra for soccer packages with Cable providers or SlingTV this looks like a good option (10 bucks a month)

I do not have many sideloaded apps currently, and the ones I've tried are finicky to say the least. Are there any apps or games that work great on AndroidTV, but need to be sideloaded?

ES has been really buggy lately for me, not to mention the horrible interface for a TV. Are there any better alternatives for sending files over WiFi that are optimized for Android TV?

Thanks

Does anyone recommend a decent vpn or proxy that i can install on my sony kdl 55w755c which has android tv? i am trying to use it to view netflix. i think i found only 2-3 apps on the google store. one was vypervpn which i read is not safe and forwards dcma notices. Unless if there is some other way i can do this.

I've been running Phoenix on Kodi for a bit, but it's naturally limited and goes down quite a bit. I know of Pluto which is okay, but I'd like to get a full set of live TV channels to switch to, if some channel like ESPN on Phoenix goes down. I don't really trust the lists I've seen on Google search results, since they're meh.

I'm looking at the Razer Forge TV due to the $50 discount for Ouya owners. A few questions:

1. How does it stack up to Nexus Player as a streaming box? I understand there's no remote? Will it recognize the Nexus Player's remote?

2. Does the ROM/interface look similar to Nexus Player's, or significantly different?

3. Does it have access to the stock android TV apps? The play store? Google Play movies?

apk-pure not working for me. Need to download com.crackle.androidtv
