Best way to do android TV?

by drybenign

I bought a generic box off Amazon, and it had a weird version of android on it. I'm thinking about installing Google TV onto it with adb, any thing I ought to know? Other better ways or OS's while I'm doing it?

That's what you get on a generic box. Weird version of Android.

I don't think you'll be able to do that. Just return it and get an android TV device. U/Latinricky will be here any sec with his excellent list.

If your box has an amlogic chip in it, slimBOXtv.ru might support it. Highly recommended custom firmware for android boxes.

Coming from Roku and other platforms I love Google TV. It's not perfect but works really well for me. I'd even recommend just spending a few bucks for the dongle itself.

I have had good luck putting Kodie on boxes with good build... I don t get live tv but can stream lot of shows and movies..

Is there any reason you want Google TV on it. It's really not good. Maybe go with one of the 3rd party launchers. They are widely available and probably simpler to setup.
