Not sure if an AndroidTV is what I'm looking for here. Any help is appreciated

Hi,

I have a non-smart LG screen in my room that doesn't support DTS audio. So if I plug in my hard drive and try to play a movie with DTS, an error message would pop up "DTS audio not supported ".

I've been reading a lot about the MiBox and it seems to support DTS but I'm not sure if that's how it works. If my LG screen can't playback DTS because of a hardware limitation, how would the MiBox be of any help in this case?

I actually have a Plex server running but since the screen can't connect to WiFi, I have to plug in a hard drive to the USB port to watch my movies.

It would be great if someone can point to the right direction here. Also, what other options that support DTS are there other than the MiBox?

Thanks.

Pretty much all Android TV (and other players) will decode DTS and send raw stereo sound to your TV. Just make sure they're fast enough - MiBox should be.

If you have a plex server you just need any device that supports plex. You can get a roku, fire tv, android tv, apple media player your choice.

I've only ever managed to get 2 channel audio out of the MiBox, but yes, it plays DTS fine.
