Use your Android phone or tablet as a remote for your Android TV. Easily switch between d-pad and touchpad modes to navigate content and play games on your Android TV device. Tap the mic to start a voice search, or use the keyboard to input text on Android TV.
To get started, connect your Android phone or tablet to the same network as your Android TV device or find your Android TV via bluetooth.

Sideload Launcher - Android TV

That is, the ability to easily navigate and access sideloaded content is much longer than normal content. As Google Play does not ‘recognize’ sideloaded apps as Android TV compatible apps, the information on the apps (logos, icons, etc) are not displayed on Google’s native launcher on the Nexus Player.

Due to this, those who sideload apps to the Nexus Player normally have to go through a much longer process of navigating down to ‘settings’, then to ‘apps’, then finding the app, clicking on the app and then finally clicking on ‘open’, all just to launch the app.

no ban.

these tv's with android functions have been around for some time now.

in fact, all new smart tv's come with android functions.

they come with the basic free and licensed stuff - youtube, browser, music streams, even news.

some offer movie previews; you subscribe and pay yrself, nothing to do with the tv.

some people will be able to make the android inside work harder with additional apps, etc.

however, android in tv is usually not the best available and it will be limited - by chipset type and memory.

most advanced android users will prefer buying their own much more powerful and versatile androidbox for many other apps, have a lot more stuff.

Budget below rm3k
Any good tv recommend?

Any good tv recommend?

My suggestion, get a normal LED or 4k, then invest on a good android box, you'll not regret it, maybe cheaper

That's true but when you want to run Netflix 4K (which is where the bulk of 4K materials are coming from), then it is more convenient to have a 4K TV with built-in Android TV.

well... for netflix 4k, u must have a 4k tv regardless of having a box or not!


i was wrong 4 months ago when i thought the androids in smart tv's are crappy.

not anymore. the latest androids in premium tv's now are as good as any in a box, if not better.

i had tried my own 4k tv's android enough - it is good, can take any app a box can; good memory size.

so, u save the cost, power, wear and tear on a separate box.

the big advantage of a separate box is probably the audio function. tv's arc (hdmi or optical) don't go very far with audio, tops dd/dts.

for playback dtshdma, ddtrue dolby, dd atmos, dts:x, need the right box.

I use optical Toslink output good audio quality, from my Sony W800C BRAVIA (with build in Android TV) to Klipsch Reference R-15PM Powered Speaker

parking awesome thread

can hdtv or myiptv app be installed on to android smart tvs?

Is just same like Android tv box technically can be install.

Nice! Now this gives me an idea what to buy next.

Google android tv is offered in relevant sony, sharrp and philips models.

Not just apps from playstore, u can load other apps via usb too.

Lg, samsung, panasonic, toshiba have own smart tv systems.

Anyone purchased the w800c Tv? I recently purchased one and loving it overall.
My only issue is the 3D feature. Was wondering if anyone can assist me on this.
I purchased a pair of these glasses:
http://www.lazada.com.my/g15-bt-bluetooth-...tv-8467318.html

Im still unable to use the 3d feature. Running on Kodi (installed on tv itself).
Glasses has been registered and recognized but still unable to watch in 3d.
If anyone has the same tv and the glasses managed to get 3d working, please guide and assist. Much appreciated.

rss media reader android tv is working

Link is broken.

Hello - can someone pls help with my question. I have an android Toshiba TV which can connect to my TM Streamyx with speed 4mbps (TM can only provide 4mbps at my area) during day time but during evenings or nights, my tv not able to connect to wifi. Thank you.

This post has been edited by Indrani: Sep 11 2017, 10:26 PM

change wifi channel

I am using LAN cable stable.

Not enough port

buy this

Thanks. I have 4 rooms to furnish with TV for Airbnb. Still thinking whether to buy Android Tv or normal Tv with android boxes.

Due to the recent kodi 17.x incompatibility with kitkat and below, what is the best solution?

I'm leaning toward android TV for lesser equipment to maintain (or operate) - storage, update, power adapter, socket, wireless keyboard/ remote controller batteries / charging etc.

Android TV is a lot of expensive than non-android TV with android tv box.

Android TV you are limited to certain model of SONY and Sharp. Non-android TV you have Hisense, Haier, Toshiba and what not.

Makes sense. i was asking relevant question in other thread, if i were to buy mxq pro with non android tv. can i do the below. Just hide the box behind the TV and power up by the TV.

Chances of hitting problem is HIGH as TVs USB ports are normally lower power output.

Not all power adaptors are the same, look at the power rating. They vary greatly

risky...
u will need to check the amp/power of the box.
if >500mA, 2.5w, u may overload the tv usb.
http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-pow...off-a-USB-port/

androidtv is only found in tv size 50" and above - may be too large/costly for yr rooms.
but they are more convenient when it comes to direct use of netflix, youtube, bloomberg and al jazeera.
also, less maint, can take popular apps like hyppewhere, astrogo, iflix.

use of box makes sense if they can reliably handle the apps u are looking at and do not cost too much.

but frankly... i am using both, neither will be great for your purpose - i would think most "passers-by" will get annoyed with use of androidtv/android box, unless they already know how they work.
might be more viable if u find some package for hypptv or astro with decoders for smaller, lower end tv's.

If for other people use they will roughly use will press until rosak, better just buy separately, from a point of audiophile/ home theater user you can replace the faulty unit whichever first. Also cheaper for upgrade if in future needed. Maybe you start with smaller TV first see will they last or not.

Sony Bravia Android TV Settings Guide 2018: What to Enable, Disable and Tweak

https://www.tomsguide.com/us/sony-tv-settin...ew-5605-11.html

Sony's smart TV comes with all sorts of content recommendations by default. Some of these are handy, helping you discover new shows, music, apps and more. But not all of those recommendations will be useful, and sometimes the onslaught of recommendations can be too much. The good news is that it's quick and easy to edit the recommendations you get, or to turn them off entirely.

There's also a second bar of featured apps, which is handy when you're first exploring the available apps, but will waste a lot of space.

Like the recommendations row, Sony's default selection of featured apps not only clutters up the home screen, it can also cause odd problems when you try to find an app you want to use. Was it in your apps bar, or was it in the Featured Apps? What about all those featured apps you have no interest in? Surely, not everybody will want Hallmark Movies NOW or RedBull TV in their menu at all times.

With a couple of quick changes in settings, you can remove the Featured Apps section from your home screen, and the apps you actually want to use will all be conveniently grouped with your other apps.
