from my exp with sharp androidtv which shud be same as yours...

what android version... 6, 7, 8?

what browser used?

can try other browser - puffin or chrome.

should work.

if necessary, may be better to ask other users of same tv in the right thread.
https://forum.lowyat.net/HomeEntertainment

Ya, install other browser, disable the original, try again.

Puffin is in playstore... chrome, u need to sideload.

Also, u may want to use x-plore from playstore rather than es file explorer as file manager.

I find xplore better.

Let me know if it works, tq.

Yes, some bug.

Happens to all my 3 devices, incl androidtv.

Likely someone missed, 826 not optmized for android... ios maybe ok...?

But not a problem.. just use mouse to click n drag horizontally, u see all of them.

upon further checking... some "see all" are ok, some are not.... depends in which section and which one.

definitely some bug they need to fix.

and yes, that did not exist in 824.



on a diff note, i wonder why astro does not want to sell astrogo separately, want only own stb/decoder.

if they incr no. of HD channels, incl dd5.1, improve app navigation and package it nicely, i think can sell like netflix if priced reasonably.

a lot of people have broadband and own boxes already, don't want more boxes and wires.

that's confirmation astrogo works on androidtv, be it sony or sharp or some other device.

it shud work on yr box.

but need to install browser and orientation app first.

u r better off asking in the TM STB dedicated box thread:

...

Astrogo and Unifi Playtv are quite fussy - work with some devices, but don't work with others - using official or modified APK.
As the authorities clampdown on the ahem providers, i wud think these 2 apps will become more popular, more people want to use them.

Afaik, if astrogo works on a certain box, unifi playtv will also work.
There are hundreds of android boxes... which one(s) will work?
To date, these are the known devices that work:

.. Install and use official apk as they are, no need to do anything special - Himedia Q10pro, Q5pro; Minix U9H, U1; Nvidia ShieldTV; Mibox Int'l, Mibox S.

https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3561305/+3420
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4200167/+5440

.. Option in settings to close root, then install modified apk, use - Tanix TX92, TX3mini, TX3max.
.. Install app to unroot, then install modified apk, use - Tanix TX5max, TX6(?).
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4722095/+140

.. Other/different procedures to hide root or unroot, then install modified apk, use - many reported, i can't recall.

There must be other low cost boxes that can do - beelink, mecool, mxq, X96, H96, A95X..??
So many of them, not even sure i got the names right.
Anyone who knows more boxes, please add for the benefit of others as the info is outdated in other threads.

your Q+ H6 is from a new box manufacturer, first model... uses allwinner H6 chipset.
whatever the reason u bought this, u should (next time) READ up before u simply buy.
becos more established brands typically do a better job with firmware and support.
but take note not all expensive boxes may be able to do what u r looking for - u gotta read, ask, confirm.

not all is lost for yr box, though.
go to settings and see if there is a "superuser" option; if there is, closed the root and reinstall astrogo MODIFIED version.
(where to find this apk, it is posted TWICE in the link given below, u gotta read and find it.)
if there isn't, u may need to try installing an app called SuperSU to close the root before installing.
if that still doesn't work, unlikely u can make it work.

this box uses the same chipset as the Tanix TX6, so u can read and follow up when someone will answer my question about astrogo here:
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4722095/+140

u may be wondering why the hell is it so troublesome to use this app...?
the answer is such providers discourage the use of boxes/tv, encourages only use on mobile device - phones/tablets.
i just got to read that in SG, it is even worse - they have put all blocks to stop users of boxes for their iptv services.

there is a need to read, test and try to be able to use such boxes well for a variety of apps, no shortcut - despite whatever the seller may tell u.
if u want to buy a new box that can do astrogo, u can go back to top of page where i have listed some boxes that can.
worst case, u spend rm88 or rm118 to get a new box that can, no need to spend more.

the current official apk 0.2.7 works when sideloaded on AndroidTV (ATV) smart tv's.

should work on boxes using ATV os, e.g. mibox s, u can ask:
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3561305/+3500

like astrogo, official version works good on some other boxes but yet other boxes may need modified versions... no idea when u can get them.

the chart has "google play" - it is a paid movie/TV/music streaming service.

it is considered "paid" since u must have a subscriber paying, i.e. someone is paying.

same applies to unifi playtv.

personally, i do find astrogo among the best paid iptv (or free depending where n how u get access) - reliable, HD 720 (the channels i watch).

the rest... a mixed bag... u already know.

there are still many non-smart 1080p TV's out there.
netflix 4k, will first need a 4k tv and almost all have netflix 4k, a moot issue.

mibox s is probably the best choice for entry level looking for basic streaming incl aotg and netflix hd but not for heavy lifting.
alternatively, pay 4-5 times more for shield to get the same for these 2 apps.
aotg was once a tough nut but now many boxes can do, like u already showed.

not referring to any specific size...

there are plenty of existing 1080p Tv's in homes.

there are 1080p Tv's still sold in the shops, e.g.
https://my.sharp/products/full-hd-tvs
there are 4k smart Tv's with youtube but not Netflix.
https://my.sharp/products/4k-uhd-tvs

walk the stores, u find them.

such Tv's will need box that can do netflix HD and/or 4k if that is the objective.

smart = internet connected.

depending on brand and model, most have youtube, netflix and browser; cheaper ones may not have netflix.

androidtv or ATV is a special google android OS platform found only in smart 4k HDR TV's from Sony and Sharp; the rest use own OS.

ATV is good in that it allows u to sideload android apps beside the apps found in playstore, a good example being Astrogo.

if u already have a great android box, ATV may be less useful.

so, u buy the TV according to your needs.

from all that have been posted, below a quick compilation of boxes that can do astrogo.

some can do in original state, others need to unroot/hide root.

some can with official version, others need modified version.

there must be more, feel free to add!

i'm a bit lost with beelink...

can u clarify... at least those available locally...

gt ultimate
gt1
gt1-a
gt mini
gt mini-a
gt1 mini
gt1 mini-a

what their correct names... which ones exist, which don't?!

and which ones confirmed can do astrogo?

quite right.

i wud say there are 4 categories of boxes that can do astro go:

1. those on official/original firmware that can install direct from playstore, auto update.

2. those on official/original firmware that require sideload, manual update for new apk version.

3. those on official/original firmware that require root closing (and modified apk sideload).

4. those that require diff/customized firmware, root hiding/closing (and modified apk sideload).

buyers should know what they are buying.

stalking?! just asking u question since u made posts.


only gt1-a cant do astrogo even after full unroot - this is very disappointing...

i was considering this since 2 reviews say it can pass thru dtshdma/ddtruehd.
