Sifu here,

Anyone know successfully installed Astro Go app on their TCL TV?

Tried this morning and failed to Astro V1.1 beta, 8.2.6 and 2.2.

1.1 Beta, blank screen when try to authentication access, I think the app failed to access certain feature check for rooted.

8.2.6, the screen rotated 90 degree and cant detect internet, I was using LAN.

2.2, it stopped and popped up message use app from play store. Which Google play don't have the app for TCL tv.

I have the same issue as smaelz83
I bought TCL 716 50' 2 months ago, there is no defect when I received the unit. But now have this issue  rclxub.gif
Not sure whether is a firmware issue or not, tried v616 but still the same...
I will try to contact TCL these few days

No expert here.
Maybe you try google for "cloudy screen on LED TV"

it seem like problem related to the backlight, some may go away with screen backlight settings.

Hi all.
Done reading from 1st post till the end.

I'm evaluating 65" Hisense U800QF & TCL C716.
On surface i know both using Qled, about same price bracket. I cannot find direct comparison between these 2 model. VIDAA 4 on Hisense Android TV on TCL, local dimming on Hisense.

From my interpretation, U800QF should be the better specs between 2.

Would like to hear what u guys think, especially from bro STASIO. I might leanr something from anyone opinion, from different  angle.

Sorry to be busy body here.
In my opinion is matter of taste.

In youtube alot of comparison between Hisense and TCL tv due to the pricing and specifications offered.

Typically Hisense seem like providing higher spec in paper but come to actual use you have to consider Hisense color is too vivid and also brighter.
I find it somewhat make human lips 💋 colour look funny (atleast on my old 49K300UW).

Since you are asking here TCL thread, I would ask you to consider Android TV from TCL has better support and upgrade then Hisense and the rest of branding.

Importantly is
It is matter of your taste, I would prefer Android TV.
My Hisense dont have any update with VIDAA and the OS do have very limited app or functionality.

Lastly QLED and LED, that not really a big advantage to many. In technical it has more smaller LED (not the controller) that give you better contrast between true black and bright area. In which QLED should give you lesser bright shadows.
In most case you even wont notice.

Just my 2 cents here. It is okay to disagree with it.

For others who read this, just to share with you if are considering P715 & C716.
I owned a C716 for few months now, and recently I have replaced my another Hisense TV with P715.
I cant really can observe any different between P715 and C716 on my usage with Netflix, youtube, IQIYI and WETV.
P715 locate in bedroom and C716 in living room.
My conclusion QLED is not really a must have specification.

Just received my 55C725. Few challenges:
-all the media connections are on the right side (when you are facing to your tv). This is a hassle to me because all my previous tv their connections are at the left side. So, i need to redo my cable management.
-for dvb-t2 connection, the tv side connector is non screw type, while my coax cable connector is screw type. Probably i need to find the new connector/adapter, but i don't know what is the right keyword. If anyone can point me to shopee or lazada link, it will be much appreciated.

Try search for TV aerial RF male adaptor.

You will need to unscrew the current adaptor to install the new one.

Cheers.

Apps able to auto update as I set to auto update.

Yes, the system update has some issue. Take too long and gave out error. Like you said that's not to concern as we can update the TV ourself.

I am facing Bluetooth remote connectivity problem. After TV wake up, remote Bluetooth is not connecting automatically. I always need to pair back if this happen.

Owner of C716 and P715 here.
Both updated to V701.
No problem with the Bluetooth remote control


For update to others.
Previously my laptop screen will flickering from time to time when connected to the TV when TV is being off.
This has been solved in V701, not sure about V677 as I didnt test it.
