Android TV box with HDMI INputs?

by jedicwb

I was wondering if there is any good android TV box with multiple HDMI inputs, besides of the HDMI output for the TV.

The possibilities for this are exciting, to say the least. You could extend the number of devices plugged to your TV, use PIP with any console blue-ray or whatever. Not to mention all the apps that could benefit on that, besides of being able to change input using Google Home commands etc.

As far as media managing goes, this seems like the last thing needed for you never touching your TV remote again. As long as you have a TV box like that, your TV is nothing more than a monitor.

I know one or two models of Chinese cheap box, with crappy tablet UI, but is there any good quality one with the real Android TV?

I think that JBL soundbar had this feature, but it's not out yet.

It sounds like you're looking for an Android TV receiver, not an Android TV device. Those don't exist yet. However, Android TV televisions are probably the closest thing to having HDMI in.

If it existed, it could leverage the same functionality used by the TV manufacturers used to provide the input sources on the TVs I guess.

This already exists. I have 6 hdmi inputs on my AndroidTV device 😎

@legion02 just presented me to this JBL Link Bar thing. Its exactly what I had in mind plus Google Assistant and external sound solution. Awesome.

JBL Sound bar is what you're looking for. If you want Android tablet os box go with Zidoo X9 which supports HDMI in fo pip and recording.
