Such an interesting discussion here. Well forgive me if I sound stupid but why on earth do we need another android box to pair with Android TV?

Thanks AVFAN for the reply. Well I'm planning to get an Android tv but I had few questions and appreciate if any of you sifus could help.

1. For what I read the booting time for ATV is way too long within 40 - 60 secs. Is there a way to speed it up.. like bypassing the Android logo?

2. What are the default sources the TV would run after boot up. Is it ATV, HDMI 1, 2 or 3?. Or it can be set?. Bcoz I prefer Astro Ultra Box to be as default.

3. Which would you choose between these 2?

Panasonic 55GX650K https://www.panasonic.com/my/consumer/home-...h-55gx650k.html
- Nice borderless design and very light (10kg). 2 ways bluetooth in and out. But no mirroring features and lack of reviews.

Sony 55X8000G https://www.sony.com.my/electronics/televis...g-x8077g-series
- Better picture with WCG panel. Bigger ROM 16GB, 4 HDMI and 3 USB ports but a bit bulky 17kg with an old-fashioned design.

Thank you in advance.

Thanks again AVFAN for the useful reply. Well I went to Harvey Norman yesterday to test Pana & Sony ATV boot up. Both TV boot very slow 50-60 secs with the brand and Android logo at the start up even though I just turn it off use the remote button@standby. Is there any setting to change to make it fast boot like your TV?

I already found out. Need to enable Fast Boot under TV setting. Tested at AEON Mid Valley yesterday and it does work. Well I almost giving up to buy an ATV bcos of slow booting but thanks to you AVFAN for helping me out. Appreciate that a lot.
