I just bought the TV... which does not come with pre install netflix... so I downloaded Netflix apk... installed in.... error pop up... 1st Your account cant use in this device.... later device not compatible.

so... what version of Netflix u are using or any idea how to run netflix?

You have tried the Android TV version ( which as white background in the logo ).

Oh boy looks like you have been short-changed already.

From this video, I see that they are installing the mobile phone version of netflix onto the TV, not the Android TV version ! That version of netflix, can be installed in almost all devices. All the best !



I guess this is where a Widevide L1 and Netflix certified TV box can rescue you !

It seems that the solution does not work... I tried. I faced the same issue as in youtube comment. netflix app can run... but the movie wont play - either you get "your acct cant be used on this device" or "device not compatible"

Please post your link to the apk.  The black background netflix apk should be installable on most devices.

Mine 32e6... so netflix is not compatible...
so ... back to help needed ... how to create app on adroid tv home page

I might have a possible answer to your problem, but you must do some tests as I suggested first.

The apk is not creating an ICON because in the manifest.xml (inside the apk) does not allow it to be started by a leanback launcher ( an Android TV launcher ). So the apk needs to be modified.

I found this on YOUTUBE... https://youtu.be/e9ZU7Rky5TM
I'll give a try on this.

just got the tv today, still playing around
few note that u might interested

1. dvb-t can't use, mayb i dont hv the antenna

2. second remote, aka voice remote is actually bluetooth remote.
u need to pair it before can use

3. i read this tv only support hdmi v1.3,
so only limited to 4k 30fps.
anyway i suspect the tv support 30fps only.
i hvnt found ways to test it... msg me if u know any trick.

4. i can't set the brightness on astro.
there is a brightest setting on LiveTV, but that only affect youtube video.
ps: extreme bright, i hate this...

5. i hv bluetooth controller, tested can play on tv.
later gonna try retroarch to play some wii game.
ps: dolphin need sideload, so i temporary gv up.

6. no vga support, i can't use my htpc.
mayb next week gonna upgrade my graphic card. (low profile)
cheapest 4k card i found zotac gt710 2gn ddr3,  rm179
but there is another sapphire r5 230, rm149... but dont think can blast 4k video

7. no audio in also, so i hv to buy spdif optical connect to my amp 😒

so far so good
except few thing that need to workout

1. i finally found the washout, the Black color font is splitting out the Red shadow.
this only happen when the resolutions is set to pc 4K resolution. (4096 × 2160).
fyi the standard 4K resolutions for tv is actually 3840 × 2160, so not a problem...

but i still managed to correct this problem, in HDMI2.0 settings the default "Chroma Subsampling"
is set to 4:2:2/4:4:4... which is obviously is not support by the tv.
after i correct it to 4:2:0, the washout is gone at the resolutions (4096 x 2160)

2. in Android TV Home Screen and all the google apps,
the default resolutions is set to FHD (1920 x 1080).
This cannot be corrected currently....
because the tv need to be ROOTed so we can edit the build.prop to enable 4K
... mean i cant watch youtube/kodi in 4K!!!~     

3. the voice remote control buildin's mic is not really good compared to phone.
i installed Google TV Remote Control on my phone
and test the speech recognition, i able to get 9/10 accuracy...
ps: i also tested on Cantonese speech recognition, not bad  :thumbsup:

4. unable to set HDMI brightness, it only affect the brightness at Google Apps... eg YouTube/Kodi/iflix/netflix
my Astro channel is very bright 

Hi can you teach me how u settings for the cantonese ? I buy tcl android tv, and installed Android tv remote control, but unable to set Cantonese.

if not mistaken, u need to set the voice recognition to
Hong Kong (Cantonese)

Manage to set Brightness on all Input

Each Input you need to select Menu and adjust each input manually
Google Play TV also set for Android TV menu and stuff

the rest need to set individually so far works for me

my G2 I suspect is VA panel not IPS
Colour accuracy seems off a little need calibration which I will take time to slowly adjust

HDR works on all video file including 4K... can read NTFS format

HDR dont work on input HDMI (not detected HDMI even HDR10) dammit!

4K only work for HDMI 2.0 and above makesure htpc has hdmi 2.0

Speaker is quite powerfull , no bass but clear
