Hi guys. Does anyone know whether 4K broadcast is available on Multiroom Smart TV or not?

I'm currently on legacy sport pack. Thinking about upgrading to ultra box and terminate current multiroom and then switching to MR Smart TV (to save some money)

Anyone else having problem with Multiroom Smart TV app? I get a 'this app is no longer compatible with your device' error from play store when trying to open it.

I'm running it on Chromecast with Google TV.

Ridiculous, isn't it.

They decided to support 2 TV makers but left the others, even all the certified Android TV devices. Pretty sure it's not a security issue though, maybe just laziness to maintain or update the app.

It's not about that. Multiroom technically means that it's your 2nd astro in your house. They just don't want people to install it on a portable device and then lend it to someone else.

IIRC Sky also has the same limitations in the UK as well, since I've read similar thread to us in Reddit about getting the Sky app to work in Chromecast

Yeah, I'm aware of it. Does the app work if we install it on TV at different address, though? If it does, I don't see the point of blocking it on Chromecast. The could just make location permission a mandatory. But I guess, if sky couldn't make it work, there would be no hope for astro then.

I just hate it as I have an entry level (7 series) Samsung TV, and now I have to use astro on that. The app lag so much, changing between channels takes 5+ seconds, the channel's info needs to load everytime etc. Plus, I just like all my app to be at the same place.

Contacting them to try to get some answers is just a waste of time. They can't even differentiate Multiroom app with astro go app. And Chromecast with Google TV with the old gen Chromecast (casting/mirroring).
