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

Up to folks to learn. They can always start easy...gotta start somewhere right ...we are all newbie once...

Thanks. I added to front page.

Big business yes... Free either leach from others or use free servers

Buffering means you're not getting data fast enough...can be a lot of reasons. I have written a few lines on pg1

This is the same androidtv found in sony, sharp, philips 4k smart tvs, nvidia shield too.

I actually find it very good, very handy.

Can stick in almost all popular apps... kodi, popcorn, mobdro, iflix, china apps...

Plus youtube 4k, netflix 4k, aljazeera hd, bloomberg hd, skynews hd...

Voice search feature for some apps.

Given how the bigger brother Android is ballooning out of control, I'm glad Google decided to place a tight leash on the Android TV OS. However, it isn't maturing at the pace it should be. Guess there isn't enough market share to make it worthwhile to most manufacturers and app developers. For now, it's alright.. Just expected more from it at this stage.

Also same AndroidTV in Nexus Player and Mibox International edition, I have been on android tv platform for sometime now really hopefully more apps will come soon.

From my experience alot of apps that I sideloaded could run and it's basically the same with normal android in tv box,

Google has this Android TV Launcher on play store... It won't show up using your normal android phone/box...i think you can force it to show but I lazy to try. I think it also won't push Android TV apps unless you spoof the box.

From apkmirror...

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.

did you try? how about interface? user friendly?

Sure it'll need some understanding & brain work. Spoofing discussions here...

currently using minix x7 mini with wifi antenna

wanted to upgrade because it doesn't support gaming mode for my air mouse Mele F10 deluxe. been looking for solution everywhere but no luck. I even try with my VR's bluetooth controller but doesn't work also, it works just fine with my android phone.

any1 have used their android tv box for gaming with controllers? care to share? not a hardcore gamer so I nvr consider ps4/nintendo

saw some review using MI game controller (bluetooth) with android box

Just to share... Remote access, control & mirror of your box...

Screen shots from my phone...works over 4G. Very simple to set up





Using Teamviewer's apps.

You'll need to install the host app to the box, the remote control client app to the phone, and sign up for a free account, then set up the box ID to your phone.

not sure the problem lies with the controller or the box. after connected with my vr's game controller, I can only set it to mouse setting, where I move the joy stick to hover the mouse cursor around the screen. the gaming setting (using joy stick as directional) has no effect at all

is this a firmware issue for minix? been having fun playing Dungeon Quest with my vr's controller on my phone, wish to play it on larger screen

android or androidtv, they are owned by google.

looking like the champion of all OS for phones, tablets, boxes, smart tv's.

can expect it to get into pc's, watches, cars, microwave ovens in the next few years.

so, buy google stock... only usd830 per share.

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.

Have to get a more compatible controller.. Confirmed ones include PS3, Xiaomi's, G910 & the Xbox 360.
