Dynamic Range Sound - High Sound Effects, Low Dialogue

Keep having this problem when watching movies, using Mi Box S 4K with Android TV.. Netflix and Plex both have the same issue. Any way to disable the dynamic range so that I can actually hear the dialogue and not blow my eardrums out if music starts to play in a scene or a car chase happens?

Can 'Chromecast w/ Google TV' play free over the air/local channels?

Hi all!

I've tried searching for different ways to ask this but I only get articles to lists of apps that requires subs.

I'm trying to find out if there is a way to play my local ota channels through my chromecast as if it was like a rabbit-ear antenna picking up free channels or an app that can scan channels from an antenna. I'd like to be able to access live weather and news alerts easily.

There is also new terms around all this as well that I'm not familiar with, like IPTV - I'm not sure what this is?

Can't uninstall an app on Android Tv

My Android TV's Playstore doesn't have certain apps that I want installed. So I downloaded the apk itself on a USB, connected it to my Android Tv and successfully installed it. It works without issues.

However, there is no shortcut on the home screen and the storage settings does not show the installed app, which makes me unable to uninstall app. How can I solve this problem?

Which Indian OTT apps support the "Live Channels" app on Android TV?

I recently learnt Android TV comes with a "Live Channels" app. From what I understand, third-party apps with live TV feature can integrate with this app. Can anyone please let me know if any Indian OTT apps support this feature?

On Firestick, many Indian apps work with Amazon's version of the "Live Channels" app. It aggregates live TV channels from third-party apps nicely.

Can anybody please help!!

I have purchased an android Tv a few days back. When I tried connnecting my laptop to it with an HDMI cable, it is not working. I have looked it up on the net a lot of times, however, i have not found a solution that works.

When i went into the the display settings in my PC, i am able to see that a secondary display is connected, however it shows that the display is not active.

I am certain that i am using the right HDMI port on the TV, where it shows - "No signal is active, check if it is on".

I have also tried using different HDMI ports too.

Can anybody please help. Thank you

Bluetooth remote with microphone?

I have TCL Android 4K TV. The default remote is really nice, but it's still the old school one - with separate buttons for TV channels, number buttons etc. I'd like to buy a smart remote for the TV. TCL themselves have told me that it's possible, but they couldn't mention any particular remote model.

I just want a remote with the least amount of buttons possible and a microphone for Google Assistant and voice search. I'm guessing it would connect by BT, coreect.

Does anyone have experience with this? Any recommendations? I live in Europe, by the way.

Disney+ and Paramount+ not working

Using a Sony A8H built in Android TV. Has worked great until a week ago. D+/P+ wont even load the profiles to select, or when you try to play a video they just go black, or dont load. They work on the Roku upstairs.

I've tried force stopping, clear data/cache, uninstalling, soft reset, unplugging the TV for 20 mins.

TV has been hardwired ethernet since we got it, to the same modem/router thats been in the house for 5 years. Just stopped working about a week ago. I mention that as someone said a router's content blocking (or something) did something similar, but no idea what that would be and idk if this old as thing even has those capabilities.

Someone said ARC/eARC can cause issues, but I dont have that enabled on my TV it looks like, dont have a home theater. Just a sound bar plugged in the optical port.

Any ideas or suggestions???? Thanks for any and all help.

Is USB OTG required on Tivo 4k / Android Tv v9

I formatted (FAT32 with MBR) a 16GB usb (Kingston DataTravler G4 USB 3.0) and added it to my Tivo stream with no issues. That's not a lot of storage so I wanted to try something bigger. I had a 2 TB HDD (HGST/Hitachi (HUA723020ALA641) sitting around the house so I threw in an enclosure (Mediasonic ProBox K32-SU3) and I cannot read the drive. I've formatted it using both MBR and GPT on FAT32, using both a Mac and GParted.

Is there something in the USB OTG that makes it a requirement in this case?

*edit: Maybe I'm missing something else? This is what I'm using for the USB-A to USB-C conversion which supposedly supports USB OTG.

Bluetooth problem on TCL 50C70

Hi, my TCL 50C70 has a huge sound delay ~0.5sec while pairing with my headset Bose QC35 over BT, I am pretty confident the problem is with the android TV as I get no such delay if connected to my laptop Bluetooth which then connect to the TV.

There was an update that change all the android UI a couple of weeks ago, I don't remember having problem with the BT before that. But I only have this tv for a month, so maybe I didn't test it out enough.

Anyone having similar issue ? Anything I can do on the android side ? is there apps that can do troubleshooting ? it seems to be android version 9

Chromecast with Google TV Storage Issue

Hello Fellow Reddit! I'm reaching to the community to figure out why I can't find the storage available on chromecast with Google TV.

I received a notification for an app that needed to be update but when I try doing it it told me I didn't have enough space. All I find under setting --> storage is 4.4GB. Is that the total space the chromecast with Google TV have? Because that's pretty low considering this supposed to be streaming device that support a lot of apps.

Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Hello,

I have an Android TV Box connected to my TV. I also have an Android phone that I'd like to screen mirror to my TV by connecting the phone over USB to my Android TV box. That way I can play mobile games on the TV screen without any latency. Chromecast has too much latency for gaming and I don't have an USB to HDMI adapter.

Is there any method or app that does the trick?
