QUOTE
A few months ago Astro customers complained that applications for this satellite television broadcaster were no longer supported on some smart television models. At a recent post-launch 4K Ultra Box press conference, Astro answered questions about the future of smart television applications on the market.

According to Shahrul Imran Sultan who is the deputy president of Astro product engineering, Astro Go's application for several smart television models is currently under development. This is to replace previous applications that were still using the old interface.

He added that after the app was launched, support for casting content from the Astro Go smartphone app to smart television would eventually be provided. This is a function that users have long been asking for since the Astro Go app was launched seven years ago,

It al1x can install disney+?

Disney+ hasn't reached malaysia.

when it does, it should be available with many devices, incl AndroidTV.

what u read now is people use VPN to get it from countries that already launched.

In case u dun know yet, there are 2 free video apps in tv playstore.

TUBI been there for some time.

Now, PLEX too.

Both work well, easy to use.

But movies and shows are either old or C grade.

Still, they are free...

How is Android TV on this issit laggy?
Does Kodi work well?

this "ATV laggy" comment... no idea where it comes from but read it a few times in other threads.

laggy... as it slow start up? lag with netflix, youtube? lag when playback? lag when streaming online?

this tv, no such thing.

kodi works fine like any other... as long as u know what u r doing - what addons, clean up, audio settings, etc.

most other apps work fine, like any android device.

the bad news is astrogo no longer work well on this tv; playtv@unifi latest version also problematic.

all that thanks to our local providers relentless trying to block use on TV!!

Guys can we pair the TV with Bluetooth speakers? Tried cannot
*
No.

The BT is only for incoming, i.e. audio from ext device to tv speakers.

Cannot BT output from tv to ext speakers.

Fot that, easiest to use spdif toslink output of tv.... if yr speaker system or avr has that input.

Ic that's too bad
What's spdif toslink? Sorry
My sound bar has optical/coaxial input though but I doubt the TV has that output rite
*
Spdif can be optical or coaxial, but the tv has only optical.

The actual connection type of the optical used to be called toslink.

So, u can use that.

Some people use hdmi arc, i.e. between tv and soundbar but u may get handshake problems.

Using optical requires another cable, but is unexpensive and works smoothly.

U dun lose anything as optical can do dd, dts... and that is the max the tv can do anyway.

I have been using it since the beginning... connected to AVR.

Sounds find, dolby 5.1 when applicable.

Hi all,
Anybody had installed HBO Go or HBO Now from Google Play Store? I had installed both app but no voice sound come out when I play the movie. Only music or background sound come out from the movie.
Any suggestions?
*
Hbo go is not in tv playstore.

Hbo now is not available locally, it is for other countries... unless u use VPN.

These, like Astro go will not work well on the tv becos these apps are not AndroidTV or ATV approved.

If u want to use these apps, buy a separate box that runs on regular android and compatible with those apps.

Yes I got both apps appear in my ATV Playstore when I connect my tv to US vpn.
Very strange because only that apps are not Ok while others such as Hulu, Disney+, FuboTV, Starz, Epic etc are Ok and didn't have any single problem at all.
Anyway thanks for your advice bro.
*
if your us vpn is working, then all us apps will work, usually.

the apps u mentioned are common approved apps for smart TV's in usa, incl ATV.


local hbo go is under astro... and like astrogo, the the apps have recently gone thru changes... made unfriendly to ATV os.

the old versions used to work good, but not anymore... as to why, only they themselves know.

hbo now is only for outside us, right? perhaps such apps won't work with us vpn.... try some other country vpn.

This HBO service is for US only because it's attached with DirecTV account which is an US streaming service provider. For vpn I used ExpressVPN.

Maybe it's just the setting of my Sharp ATV itself. Because when I use it on my PC it works. I already try disable the surround setting still no luck. Trying looking for another sound setting. Try and error 😅
*
likely an ATV issue, blocked locally.

pretty sure it will work if u use a regular android box.

Yes true bro, got no # when use it with my previous mi box.

Things may have changed.
Mibox, oher low end ATV devices and smart tvs are getting screwed by astrogo and unifiplaytv.
Local Hbogo may suffer same.

Still have no luck bro. Maybe this app is for Asia regions only.
Anyway thanks.

Local id.pw will work.... foreign, use of vpn.. may be not.
These guys are now getting good at it.... to restrict use to country of origin only.
And google ATV is helping them.

i wanna ask what HDR standard does this sharp uses? im in between decision between sharp LC50UA6800X or samsung UA50NU7090KXXM, samsung listed they has HDR10+.
*
U can google to read hdr, hdr10, hdr10+, hlg, dolby vision, hdr12... what they really mean.

To my knowledge this ua6800x tv is hdr or hdr10, same for al1x, but is hdr hlg for new bk1x.

QUOTE
HDR10 is also referred to as "generic" HDR, which is a slightly derogatory term, but HDR10 really refers to the baseline specifications for HDR content.

HDR10 is a 10-bit video stream and if you have HDR-compatible devices, it will support HDR10. This is included in the specification defined by the Blu-ray Disc Association for those Ultra HD Blu-rays we've just mentioned, and it's HDR10 support that's included in the Ultra HD Premium certification we've talked about.

Hey guys, I had some problem casting chrome from my laptop but this didn't happen if i cast from my desktop.

The tv cast the video from my chrome tab, a few sec later the video stop but the sound keep playing. And when i cast from my phone (s10e) sometimes it tend to pause/stop and i need to open my phone and resume it from there. Any solution?
*
chrome should work, whether desktop or laptop.

check the internet connection... unstable?

also, do a restart of the TV android under settings - this may clean up, help.

I just found out in tv playstore, there is bbc player app.

If u r unifi ultimate user and yr old STB doesnt hv this bbc player, u can use it on the tv.

Just install app, log in, auto unifi connection detect, no id or pw reqd.

Reasonable vod stuff, hd.

Don't try finding some update from some site to update.

Somebody did that once and got stuck totally.

Try again tmr.... sometimes their server down.

Last resort, call sharp service, they will send tech to update.
