Those free apps always buffering, not loading.. very frustrated when watching movie...
Paid apps have people take care the server.. anything down.. they will service...

This tv app repo is good to add shortcut to the homescreen for androidtv.

It does not sideload with usb.

U still need es file explorer or similar.

Do you have more information on this apk? Thank you.

need some tag or whatever. i think they are also limited to apps in generic playstore.

but we want !@#$%^ apps!

Yes..  So true.  I think this info about Android box not for less tech savvy ppl should be included in opening post.

Minimum for ppl who know how to navigate a smart phone

I'm using Rotation Locker

May I know what APK you using for movie ?

Buffering I referring to APK server... not that ISP..
Each APK have their own server right ?

Simple and user friendly only suitable for parents...

Even with spoofing, having the launcher apk alone will not an Android TV OS make.. Only a proper port can achieve that. As there are other system level apks required for a quasi-experience and apps installation.

I see.. Didn't try it myself either as current setup works fine. Besides, I'd rather opt for the full experience and get the Shield 2. As soon as I can convince myself to get a decent 4K TV. 

Android definitely is the champion.. Or rather Unix is.. IMO, IOS is solid and all but it's very hard for me (right now) to imagine it or any other mobile-oriented OS ever overtaking Android. Well, as long as Alphabet (Google) doesn't mess up in the future and keep pushing it's limits.

$830 per share.. 
IKR.. Nice analogy right there.. I'll take big and full potted plants today, but refuse to acknowledge growing old..

10bit video files = HDR movies?
If displayed on non HDR TV will it look worse than non 10bit files or would it look just the same?

means can teamviewer and see what the box is actually showing on-screen?
like teamviewing a computer?

10bit video... if yr player can handle say, 1080p hevc 10 bit, 1080p tv can display.
hdr video will not display on a non HDR tv even if the player can handle.

just like a 4k video will not display on a non-4k tv.

no "downgrade".

No.... These are two completely different things. 10bit (aka Deep Color) is referring to color depth, the amount of distinct colors that can be displayed on screen. HDR refers to dynamic range: the ability to display or capture details in the darkest and lightest part of an image simultaneously. A really good TV should have both Deep Color and HDR.

RON97 + RON97 engine = 
RON97 + RON95 engine = 
Yes.. to some extent.

my bad... yeah, u r right.
