A probably stupid question from me.

Im in google store and trying to search some apps. However I cant type except using voice for the search.

Or any ways to enabling the keyboard to appear.

voice search comes on by default.

just click a few times, wait a bit, voice search gives up, go away, keyboard appears.

Oh.there's a trick to go about it? Lol..
Ok..let me try it later.

Not apparent on photos

likely the ones u described were poor copies or are actually filmed like that.

if u find more or it gets worse, do post a picture for us to take a look.

Bros, is RSS player prohibited from installed in the TV?

I've tried many times but seems failed to install although it says completed.

don't use the regular android version.

use this androidtv version, somebody built it ready for use.

This one is one of best for the tv, enjoy.

I use it everyday!

U are true sifu in the entertainment section. Will follow your recommendations

since u like rss androidtv, go to playstore, find adrama - not as good but it may have stuff u may like.

there is also zaltv but u need the right code to get it going.

I have downloaded adrama and its quite decent. For chinese apps like rss and adrama are mainly for my wife while im more on english movies and live football.

For english apps, im currently have beetv, cyberflix, cinemahd and mobdro. If u have any good recommendations feel free to share ya.

Apps, there are plenty.

VOD easier to get than live tv.

Stable live tv in hd quite hard to find.

Any Android app recommended to watch live football with this TV? Thanks in advance

there is astrogo, works good.

Thank you AVFAN for leading me here. I want to know whether android tv will become slow in future? I'm considering to buy 50inch model.

Main purpose for this TV is for a movie, ps4 and YouTube videos. The most important thing is, I'm not really know the lifespan or reliability of sharp TV. I have a good experience with Pana TV.

i do not have this model but have the previous 2 models, ua6800x and ue630x.
both are 4k smart TV with AndroidTV; former is 1 yr old, latter is 3.5 yrs old.

the al1x is almost the same as the ua6800x, the androidTV (android8) is exactly the same, so do read a bit of this longer thread:
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4488602

ue630x is an older model on android6, 4k non-HDR but has similar functions:
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3811168/+1600

there are comments floating around somewhere like "androidtv can't play after 2-3 years" or "androidtv is very sluggish".

androidtv is a specialized os from google; it doesn't die!
while the updates will cease after 2-3 years becos tv maker will not keep upgrading, the TV will keep working like any other TV.
say the TV today with android8 gets a last upgrade to android 9 in 1 yr, the android will not be obsolete for another 4-5 years.
i have 8 year old android4 devices that are still working.
the TV itself is unaffected for normal functions of hdmi input like ps4, android box, DVD player, Astro...

about longevity, nobody has all the statistics but i find them very lasting.
last 10 years, i had a total of 5 sharps; one had slight bleeding after 8 years, the rest all still working good, never had warranty issues.

as for sluggish, i do not know other brands but sharp androidTV is NOT sluggish.

it is very useful to have androidTV if u already know how androids work, have use it on phones and tablets.
that way, u will easily get to know how to install apps and use it nicely.

Youtube, netflix are preinstalled apps, easy to use with just the remote control which has voice search function too.

i cannot comment the specifics of al1x since i am not using one.
do ask the owners in this thread to comment on specifics if u need.

lastly, dun forget this tv is a mid-range TV, try to compare with similar size and prices only.
always trust your eyes and wallet, not "expert reviews" by other people who had never used it!

Than you so much. Your feedback really helpful. Really appreciate it.
