I use VPN with usa geolocation to get usa playstore....

M'sia playstore don't have the STARZ APP...

However the starz app have prblem with playback... playback error...

Other app like Netflix us, hulu is fine
*
ah, that makes sense.

it probably means unlike netflix, starz has not ironed out some issues with the tv maker, not ready for this tv.

that may not work since it is a plugin zip, not a repo zip.

You all must try AVATAR 4K.... the display of 4K for the movie is awesome.... I use KODI to watch it from my hdd...
*
quite sure AVATAR was not filmed in 4k.

but an upscaled version should be excellent.

the genuine buray disc comes out wonderful on the tv.


for sure, the sequels will be in 4k!

On April 14, 2016, Cameron confirmed that there are now plans for four sequels. Avatar 2 is scheduled for release in December 2018, with the sequels following in December 2020, 2022, and 2023, respectively

sorry my english is not so good

I just bought Sharp LC-50UE630x and have problems with detection WD Passport Ultra / HD Portable. 3TB WD Passport Ultra can't be read in Sharp and I've tried with the three USB ports.

I've also tried restarting Sharp but still don't want to read my HD Portable. finally i tried with different capacity is 2TB and the results can be read in Sharp but when i replace the HD Portable with the same capacity 2TB problem occurs again is not read then i tried to restart but the results are equally not read then i tried in other ways of unplug HD Portable and turn off the TV and unplug the power cord and then insert it again and turn on the TV after show Home Screen i try plug my Portable HD then now can be read

So every time I replace the HD Portable always use this way and this makes me very uncomfortable

And i had a problem with the application, Google Play not show google chrome and JOOX then i decided to install manually. Google Chrome shortcut not show in Home Screen and JOOX shortcut show in Home Screen but when i run JOOX the dispay in portrait not landscape  sad.gif

whether here there is encountered the same problem with me? i need solution
*
the issues u raised are known.

firstly, tv's are not built with full media players; their capabilities are somewhat limited. some tv's do a better job than others.
sharp tv usb ports, from what i read, operate on a low power basis and are sensitive to formatting and partitioning types.
can't read large HDD with lots of folders and files; max i think is 2TB.
one possible way to get round it is to install es file explorer (from playstore) and play from there.

secondly, the android tv is not a full fledged android box. it can do most of the common stuff incl side load apps but not all of them. some are blocked by the security feature; some phone apps don't work well. sideloaded apps typically do not show up in the launcher; u need to go to settings option to access them. however, whatever is in playstore will work well, incl youtube and kodi, and will be displayed in the launcher.

personally, i like the androidtv for its simplicity. i only have a few apps installed but they work very well. for playback and others, i use a separate android box.

TM will not give up monopoly for houses.

then again, if u hv unifi, 30mbps is fine for most homes.

i am using that, paying a little less than what i was paying for 10mbps before that.

hope not to pay too much more when the change to 50 or 100mbps comes.

We Unifi users are still heavily shortchanged... Imagine, for the same amount (or just a little extra) you are currently paying for 30Mbps, you could be getting 300Mbps (x10!!)... For me, it'll be x30, cuz still on 10Mbps... So yeah, TIME covered areas rule.

Cant have it all. Highrise, u pay more for water, asessment rates.

The impt thing is the stability n consistency. I am quite happy to pay <rm200 a month for all entertainment, phone calls, emails, messaging, pc work for a dozen devices. More concerned with tnb bill!

Hi i bought the 630x sharp android tv. The biggest problem i facing is frequent dropped wifi connection? I had assign static ip and address reservation for it yet still facing this issue. Any idea how to resolve, modem is on 1st floor while tv is on grounf floor less than 3 meters away. Thank you
*
.. what made u say "frequent drop in wifi connection"? what app? from wifi analyzer?
.. how is wifi performance with other devices like pc, tablet, phone in the same position as the tv?
.. the space between router and tv - is it just a slab of rc concrete or other metallic structures?
.. what broadband, speed u using?
.. what router in use?

The wifi connection of the tv will just disconnect after few minutes, and i have to manually reconnect again.
Other devices no problem (pc, phones, tablets, cctv etc, apple tv and other android tv box.
Basic double story house, modem put near stair with the sharp android tv, ard 10 feet in front of stair.
Unifi 10, tp link modem updated, no problem with all other devices. Thanks.
I googled online saw quite a number of smart tv have this problem, incl. some android tv. Not sure if i am the only user of sharp 630x with this problem.
*
from yr description, i can only suggest:

.. orientate the router antenna to different positions - to get a spherical or balloon coverage rather than a disc.
.. if changing router, go for a high power amplification one, e.g. from asus.
.. test the tv wifi with all devices shut down; 10mbps can be stretched too thin if all devices are on.
.. consider upgrading to 30mbps or higher.
.. run a LAN cable to see if ethernet works well or not on the tv.
.. 10mbps will not get youtube or netflix in 4k on the tv but should get 1080p if other devices are not on.


my tv is just a few feet horizontally from the asus router, always very strong, v good.

30mbps, i get sufficient wifi coverage over 50ft or 15m for all devices.

Hi, recently I bought the Sharp 630x TV. I have a problem with the HDMI ARC port when connecting to my soundbar (with ARC function as well). At first it work, the sound can pass to the soundbar, and I can control soundbar volume from TV remote, and also turn off/on both devices using only TV remote.
But after that it start to have problem with the ARC function.

I've tried a few setting in the TV to fix it, but still unable.
1) Devices-->Audio Out-->HDMI/ARC (speaker select,audio setup)
2) Home-->Setting-->Preferences-->Inputs-->(CEC) Device Control Settings-->HDMI control/Device auto power off/TV auto power on

I have tried change HDMI cable, but problem still exist.

Anyone here have similar problem?
Any idea any other setting I can check/change in The TV to fix this? (imagine if soundbar in good condition)

Thanks

soundbars get tricky.

may help if u read someone's case starting post #726:

Hi, has anyone root their 630X sharp tv? If yes, can share which root software to use? Any tried Kingoroot app before ?
- After rooting, if need to unroot, how to unroot?
- how to hav soft rest/reboot and hard reset for this android tv?
Thank you.
*
for the android, u can either unplug the power, start again... or... go to settings, info and select "restart".

tv settings, can reset to default with remote's tv setup options.


root... i am not even sure if u can as i know there is a security protection feature built in.

note rooting will void yr warranty. so if anything goes wrong, say u lose netflix/youtube 4k... u r on yr own.


lastly, if u have not, do spend time reading the e-manual either from website or at the tv itself. good useful info for starters.

Not sure if this is how ARC work, but it's kind of stupid if this is really true (If you want ARC, then have to sacrifice all other HDMI ports).
Or maybe only Sharp TV has this problem? Or setting/configuration issue?

End up, I decided to let go the HDMI-ARC function and connect via optical output from TV to soundbar.
*
possible other tv's do a better job for soundbars. that, u only know when u try it.

likely just limitations of some of the "extra" functions for certain output components.

tv makers should be good at making tv's - as a slave to the input, just video display - primarily.

rightly, they should not and do not focus on audio, connectivity, playback, etc. as that will mean encroaching into other segments of the overall biz which i doubt they are prepared for. and will cost more.

whatever android, media playback, etc., i take them as a bonus, not a must.

the androidtv is good, i use it a lot.

can't comment much on soundbars as i use only AVRs which work fine with netflix uhd4k dd5.1.

usb playback, i use my own media/android box which can do a lot more than the tv player.

Hi guys,

Has anyone installed any VPN for the UE630X on the TV itself?

And is that a working alternative to putting a dns at the router?

Doing this to find a solution to allow netflix usa and other blocked content on kodi to load.

Thanks!
*
getting harder and harder, even with paid VPN.
netflix determined to block them all!

I see

but what I wanted to know really was, assuming netflix does not go on a quest to block them, is that the right method  to use the VPN?

Is it just that simple or is there another correct way to install/run it?

Thanks
*
if there is no block, a simple usa DNS will do.

previously, that was the case, all of us had it good - for a while only.

if there is block, even paid VPN can't do it, like now.

Is it worth it? The content will be few and it might not even follow what the supposed future 8k standard will be.

No, not if dun hv that kind of money to blow. biggrin.gif

But the upscaling in this 80inch is v good, i must say.

To my eyes, for same video, it came out as good if not better than the 50 and 50 inches.
