reposting my own below from another thread.

unifi playtv app 7.9.2 works fine on ua6800x.

together with astrogo, u can watch all of them with just the tv, the remote and a mouse - in pretty good video quality.
QUOTE
not sure if my eyes are playing tricks or if unifi has actually improved their stream quality due to new customers now not getting STB's.

i seem to see better quality streams on playtv app.

those "HD" streams now appear more like 576/720 to me when they were more like 360/480 previously.

so, good for new users using the app.
also, if u do not already know... youtube offers several int'l live news channels now - channel news asia, bernama, aljzeera, bloomberg in hd, CGTN in sd.

i am not into new TVs but my guess is ah1x is a bit better than ah8x - in terms of design and hardware.

but both are inferior to al1x.

so, i suggest u consider al1x instead unless u must save on small bucks.

or the older ua6800x which is popular as u can see from this thread.

al1x and ua6800x are android8 androidtv based.

some people will tell it such a feature is useless if u have a box already, which i disagree.

tvs built with android tv tyically have better hardware, upscaling and support, besides the ability to run android apps incl astrogo and unifi playtv which many boxes can't do.
and if not mistaken, i think u have been hunting for some time now, settled on hisense or haier??

Currently my first choice is Hisense U7A. One seller from lazada selling it for RM2500~ for 55inch.
Meanwhile waiting for April bonus I am still surveying TVs huhu

u must hv did something incorrect. try below, step by step, it will work.


QUOTE
ASTROGO - Android 8.0:

after update to android 8.0 (sep 2018), astrogo installation:

if u want to install/reinstall astrogo, it is easier on this android 8.

.. get astrogo v8.2.6 (official version is fine), put in USB->tv usb.
.. must have orientation app installed, set to landscape. this one will work:
https://apkpure.com/set-orientation/com.goo....setorientation
.. (previous "rotation app" which worked on android5, 6, 7 does NOT work here.)
.. if u did not accept proposed Puffin TV app during android8 update, please install it from playstore - required as installer package for astrogo.
.. (chrome or es file explorer NOT required and not preferred, and if u use either, u have to grant permission as installer.)
.. install from playstore X-plore as file manger to install; once u click install, it takes u to PuffinTV - click on the box "astrogo login"; the rest is straightforward.
.. a mouse is required to navigate; remote will not do.

You've got confirmation ttat it for sure works on Android OS v8.0.. For all we know, there are new stuffs intro or removed before the bump that makes it more favorable for the app to work. I suggest you first upgrade to the latest firmware as most with working AOTG have.. Before you continue troubleshooting. If I may ask, why not pursuing this first?

ua6800x is almost a year old, at tail end, about to be phased out, i wud think.

best to view both side by side, decide.

generally, a newer model is preferred.

but price diff is quite big...

both android 8, no major tech diff afaik.

newbie experience in using LC50UA6800X for 1 week+.

1. use Google Play Store to search for Sideload Launcher app and install it.
2. use the Puffin browser to search for APKPure app and install it.
APKPure app is to install apps not found in Google Play Store. such as, njoi and astrogo.

screen mirroring from android phone to tv
1. android phone first install Google Home app.
2. android phone launch it to screen mirroring to tv.

screen mirroring from ipad to tv
1. tv install airplay receiver app or similar apps.
2. ipad then can airplay to the tv.

the lc50ua6800x wifi can only connect to 2.4GHz wifi, and not 5GHz wifi.
could the sharp 2019 model can?

btw, thestar epaper app. installed but unable to read. anyone managed to get it work properly at this tv?

it does 5ghz.

maybe yr distance too far or router issue.

if all ok, do a settings/about/restart - that may help.

Hi All,

Just got my 4TC60AL1X delivered yesterday.

It is mentioned LED Backlight on the Box.. Not sure if its referring to Edge / Full
On the manual, it says the manual is applicable for 4TC60AL1X & 4TC70AL1X

Spec wise :

Android os 8.0
LAN Port : 10/ 100 Mbps.
WLAN : AC 5ghz


I can use all applications and features which i was previously using on my Minix Android Box.


- Astro on the go & Viu ( orientation app installed )
- Netflix HDR & Youtube HDR Preinstalled
- Directv now, BBC I player,
- Unifi TV, Hotstar App for indian TV shows
- Sideload launcher and Orientation installed ( Thanks to this thread)
- Able to connect my Tronsmart G02 gamepad via Bluetooth to play games.
- Able to use Minix A3 Remote Air mouse and keyboard works fine.


Few questions which i need help with :

1) I noticed the tv remote has a button power devices. Can i program it to control my sony soundbar ? If yes please guide.

2)What is the recommended output method to achieve best sound quality. Currently connected my thru optic cable from TV to Soundbar. Not using any other devices.
At the moment i choose "Bitrate [SPDF]" as output.. there is also PCM and Dolby Digital in my tv
Whereas my soundbar supports dolby true HD
