if u get al1x, dun forget to post some comments in al1x thread for the benefit of others.

perhaps a peek into next coming models...?

quite sure that is an error made by some sleepy head.
compare side by side - bk1x, al1x, 6800x.
https://my.sharp/compare/product

a quick glance, i spot these differences for bk1x vs the older 2:

.. android 9.0 vs android 8.0
.. 3 hdmi 2.0a vs 4 hdmi (2x2.0, 2x2.0a)
.. BT 5.0 vs 4.0
.. HDR/HDR10/HLG vs "HDR"

the only major difference to me is support for HLG.
but since HLG is mainly for live broadcast streams like BBC/BBCiplayer, it may not be that useful locally.
however, i would expect the "HDR10" performance is improved for contrast and color depth.

one thing i am curious... HLG ext input will need hdmi 2.0b.
since 3xhdmi are all 2.0a, it is unclear if it will support HLG files playback or reduce to HDR.
that, will have to hear from a user.
as usual, i expect the price for new model to be higher by rm300-500 than its 1 year old predecessor(s).

BTW, i thought u already bought a new samsung... still shopping?

correct. old v8.2.6 is dead... original or modified.

u can use this current official one:
2.193.4/AC19.3.4/704a58d
https://apkpure.com/astro-go-watch-tv-shows...com.astro.astro

but u will find live HD channels juddering, no good; live SD or VOD is fine.

this happens to most ATV devices; many boxes on regular android are OK.

axtro is doing all they can to stop smart tv's from using this app - they want u to use mobile devices or decoder only.

we wait to see if anyone will come out with a new modified version.

cat n mouse game continues....

like others have said, the 2 are almost identical... small differences.
the diff i can single out is the position of the 4 hdmi inputs... al1x has 2 at the side while 6800x has all 4 at the back.
yep. mine is already 15 months... not a new tv anymore!
my older one ue630x is 4 years old now, all good too.

pls read... 5 posts back... post #2101.

r u talking about the right tv?

there is no soap opera effect on/off in ua6800x.

yes, it has been removed from playstore.

u gotta find new elsewhere, sideload.

adrama... latest version 5.1.

https://adrama.online/

that is due to yr internet disconnected.

check yr modem, router, other devices OK.

then u do settings/about/restart or cut power/power on to restart... give it a couple of minutes to connect.

go to apps, check if it is current v2.07.02.

if u list a couple of these videos, i can check see if i find same issue.

if u factory reset, u can go check if there is a pending update.

there should be... since factory, there has been 2 updates, i remember.... one of them fixes the voice search problem.

this "restart"... is something to be done first whenever something is not working the way it should!

adrama... check if u hv current v5.1.
rc won't do the job - u need a mouse.

hypptv or playtv - same, u need mouse and rc to navigate complete.

a mouse is required becos these apps are built for touch screen devices... press, hold, swipe, drag....


beside adrama, u can try icdrama with rss player with this ready made app.
this one, u can do with rc.

https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4765131/+20

other apps, i suggest u join this FB group; there are some good stuff u can get there:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/tvboxapps/

if it is not v5.1, u will get a prompt... old version doesn't work with some videos.

"restart" is v impt, use it whenever u find it sluggish or something is not working normal.

settings->about->restart.

Check ic drama rss, adrama.

Read back a few posts or pages... and post#2 bottom part.

it is free... but u need to have id/password from a registered subscriber.

but the app does not work very now with the tv becos the current version is not ATV friendly.

so, it is not an app i suggest for use at this time.

that, plus the fact they removed the app on LG smart tv's say it all.
they also blocked casting to tv from mobile via chromecast too.
but u still can cast from pc windows chrome:

no need to fret...
just spend rm10x tonight 11.11, u get astrogo working again.

it is hard to comment if u dun describe better.

1. when do u get this - playback videos, netflix, astro, tv3, which box? which channel(s)?

2. what AV mode do u use - std, movie, dynamic, pc, gaming?

3. did u go to "tools" and adjusted some of those variables?

These shadows u mentioned.... not normal.
More so if u see them with different videos and inputs.

Try one last thing if u havent... go to tool, picture.... at bottom, reset the picture.
If still same, likely a hardware problem.
