Hello there, I've got a TCL 40A325 (which I assume that is a Mexico-only model because I haven’t found any review of it yet), it runs Android TV 8 and seems like a pretty decent TV for the price (at least in my country).
My problem is that when it turns on (only when plugging in the power, or after a power outage) instead of booting into the Android TV home interface, it goes straight into the TV app from TCL (the one with the red logo, not the Google Live Channels). Is there any way to stop this from happening?
Bonus problem: I installed Google’s Live Channels and it works wonderfully for IPTV (with TVirl) but when I change into the cable channels (NTSC, I know, my provider is ancient) the screen turns black for that channel (but sometimes they do work normally), what the hell could be happening?, is the analogue support in Live Channels kinda spotty?
Many thanks : )
I've no idea what is causing the black screen, but I would highly recommend dumping tvirl/live channels in favour of tivimate. It's literally the same but with many more features.
You could also install "launch at boot" from the playstore and chose a particular app to start at boot. Or perhaps check the settings to see if the TV channels app has an option to launching at boot and turning it to off If possible
