I'm trying to set up a Google routine that turns on my Android TV and changes the input to the home screen, but I can't figure out what the correct wording is. If I use the built-in Google button on my remote and say, "home screen", it works. But if I try to do something similar from a Google Home or my phone, it doesn't work. Any thoughts?

I have a US WWE Network account, but because I live in Canada, my new Chromecast with GoogleTV geolocks me out of downloading it. Any way around this? I have access to a VPN as well.

I've been emulating Android TV in Android Studio on my laptop connected to my bedroom TV. It runs fine, but Android Studio emulator seems to be focused on developers, so I wanted to know if there's another emulator or Android TV image more focused on users. Any ideas?

My Mi TV has just 8GB of storage space and half of it was already used up by the OS and pre-installed apps. I have an OS update and app updates pending. Why doesn't manufacturers make TV with higher storage space?

Hey, as we know, Google Photos looks like absolute trash when Chromecasted from phone. I am surprised that it still talks to the phone and not directly to the internet as it would with say Netflix. Anyway, until Google fixes it, does anyone know if a third party app where you can log in directly onto the Chromecast with Google TV and view your Google Photos? My only reservation would be a third party app having my Google log in.

I still can't believe the Google Photos casting works the way it does. It seems so logical and simple for them to address.

Often it forgets what episode I was watching and starts the same one at the end of an episode, or it starts playing with no video just audio and subtitles etc.

Is this just me, or a common issue?

Hello! We recently purchased a Hisense android TV (model 55Q7G) and I noticed that the parental controls do not allow you to limit what apps can be used. Only things like limit inputs. My old Nvidia Shield had this so I was expecting the same from this android TV. Would really like to ban YouTube from the kids! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

So as title says, brought my first Android TV about a month ago. It's a Panasonic 43HX700. Never had a problem with Panasonic TVs before, always worked great, but this thing is an absolute piece of garbage. It's slow, supper laggy, netflix and you tube just crash sometimes. You tube has even randomly just opened its self a few times. It's absolutely nothing like any panasonic I've had before in the past, literally the worst TV I have ever owned. DO NOT ever buy this TV.

Hello,

I need help, my jbl link bar is blocked in logo android TV, never open again, there is one way to reset?

Thanks

I have not upgraded to a new device. I only have one Android TV device, the Shield Pro. I don't plan to upgrade it in the near future. However I have little doubt that eventually, I will upgrade it.

I just want to know if it's possible to automatically have my apps and settings installed just by logging in with my account?

It's my understanding that unlike iOS, it's not possible on Android to natively backup and restore a phone exactly as it was, with the user's custom apps and settings. Therefore I am guessing it's the same for Android TV?

For over a year I've been using Android TV via Tivo Stream 4K on my Sony TV. Up until yesterday I've been able to cast to my TV from my Chromebook. Also, my Tivo remote controlled volume and muting (among other functions). Yesterday, while watching TV there was an update to the Android TV OS, took a couple of minutes to install. Since then, I cannot cast from my Chromebook and I can't use my remote for volume and muting. I've spent a lot of time in Settings on each device and nothing can be changed back to what it was. Has anyone else had this problem or can anyone suggest a remedy? Thanks in advance.

Hey! Is there any way to actually install prime video on the 2020 chromecast? I’ve tried sideloading, but that doesnt seem to work (or at least with the apk i used)

How is this not a feature yet? I have to disable/ block all or nothing? I cast to my nVidia Shield from time to time. Finding family accidentally casting to it with increasing frequency. "There's got to be a better way!!"

FEATURE REQUEST!!

So I tried to install the F1tv app on my Sony X92. I first installed Aptoide and from there I installed F1tv. But then the whole image of the app gets on half of the screen and the other half falls off the screen, and the image looks a bit stretched out. The Sony menu is also like this! So it's almost impossible to change anything in settings. Another app also had this issue and then I noticed, both of them are portrait apps. Is there anyone who knows what's causing this and if it can be helped? Or is this something with my Sony firmware, and it's this working just fine in a random Android tv box? Thanks!

Are there live channels in it? I've searched almost everywhere but I couldn't find it.
