Thank you

Give it a name.

With the Google TV remote, if you hold down the YouTube button a menu pops up allowing you to select the function of the button.

Does anyone know a way to disable this menu?

I'm using a button mapper app to give additional function to the buttons, but the selection menu keeps popping up.

We have a Sony TV that we purchased about a year ago that is getting the infamous Google recommendations. I uninstalled the updates for the Android TV app, but the ads keep coming back. I have auto updates turned off. What I end up having to do is install the Android TV update and then uninstall the Android TV update under the settings. If I change the input or even use some apps on the tv, the recommendations come back. Has anyone found a solution to this?

Hi,

I've got a new TV running AndroidTV 9 and have sideloaded a few apps.

For one of these I would need a "pinch-zoom" gesture though... and all I have is a mouse and a keyboard.

Is there a way to emulate such gestures on AndroidTV?

Many thanks!

Is there a way to remove this pop-up everytime I turn my tv on ?

Thanks.

Im looking for an Android TV for my bedroom (max price around 600€, at least 50 inch would be nice) which isn't super slow when starting up from standby and switching through apps/satellite channels. Is there anything out there, or is it just better to use a seperate Android TV box?

My main TV ist a LG Oled with the Nvidia Shield. For my bedroom I'd rather want a "all-in-one" TV with Android TV built in, so i dont have to use two remotes when switching between satellite tv and apps. I know i cant expect shield performance from an "all-in-one" solution, but in my experience (I bought my dad a Sony TV for around 1000€), the built in Android TV just sucks to use, even a 4k Firestick has much better performance.

I had my eyes on the 50 inch TLC C715, but I also read comments, that the UI on this TV is slow.

I have a Denon receiver playing music from my record player, I can use the Samsung TV remote to control the volume but only when the TV is on. With this setup I see the Denon receiver logo on the TV while the record player is playing sweet tunes. I'd like to have a music visualizer app playing in sync with the audio from the receiver.

Hi,

I've got a new TV (TCL C715) and a logitech bluetooth keyboard (K380) and I seem to be too stupid to make them work together....

I can pair them up alright, but no matter what I do the keyboard produces keys as if it were an US-keyboard. But it isn't. It has a german layout...

So how can I make my TV treat my connected and paired bluetooth keyboard with the proper layout?
Many thanks!

Hi,

got a new TV with androidTV today (TCL C71).

On this TV I can (in principle) sideload apps. I was e.g. able to extract an apk for lichess (an app for online chess) from my phone and install that on my tv. Works.

However my TV refuses to install chrome.

I tried with a downloaded apk, everything seemed to go ok, until at the very end my TV said "app not installed".

So I tried to extract the apk from my phone just as I did with lichess and again it does not complain about anything, yet at the end: "app not installed".

What is this? Why does it only seem to happen to chrome?

Is chrome special?

What could I try to sideload chrome nevertheless?

​

Many thanks!

I have a Hyundai Smart TV (not android tv, just smart I think) but in the app store is impossible to download spotify and I can not stream music on my TV (for friends meetings, etc)

A question, with Android tv (using the mi box or whatever you suggest to use) is it possible to stream music on the TV using your mobile phone?

Or is there any alternative you suggest to avoid buying the android box? (As I'm a student don't have lots of money to spend)

Does anyone know how i can control my Xiaomi TV with my Alexa? Is there any way? Thx Guys

I am getting a used Amazon Fire Stick 4K for ₹2500 ($34) and a new Mi Box 4K for ₹3300 ($45). New New Firestick 4K sometimes sells for ₹4000 ($55) on sale. Which do you suggest will be a better option?? I already have a 2nd gen Chromecast at home but it seems cumbersome controlling it with phone

I intend to watch Youtube mostly, then Amazon Prime and a few apps here and there. Mi Box's USB support is sth I like as my TV can't natively play many codecs like h.265 or mkv format. Though I have a 1080p TV, I think getting a 4K box/stick is better for future proofing and have better specs too.

I have a monitor that is BGR subpixel layout, so I installed it in its stand upside down to turn it into RGB subpixel layout (modern problems require modern solutions) - but this means I gotta rotate the screen in screen properties for any device I use with it. I couldn't find an ADB command to do so to use my SHIELD with the monitor (1440p HDR WCG - all things SHIELD can output so why I wanna try it), anyone know of one?

Looking for a solution for an apartment building where multiple tenants all have android TV, We want to put a camera in the laundry room and on the front door. Then allow the tenants download an app and access the camera with the same credentials..

Any Ideas? each Tennant already has their own gmail account linked with the box, so it has to be an app that allows them to sign in with that role account? Any help is appreciated..

So as I mentioned on the title I can't get the suggestions for movies/series from the HBO app to show up on the main screen.

Anyone else facing this? Is there any way to solve it or is the app that can't be integrated with Google TV?

Are the Xbox controllers all compatible with most android tv boxes and androids?

I have a ps4 controller that works well but recently found out that older models of ps4 controllers don't pair with android tv (except maybe shield).

Anyone know if xbox controllers are similar? Do they all have bluetooth?

I'm looking at buying a cheap used one and curious if it's a waste of time like the older ps4 models.

Thanks

Hello everyone and does anyone know how to get if possible Samsung tv plus on android/google tv?

I purchased my Sony Bravia second hand. The TV was in amazing condition but the remote was missing the backplate. About a year after receiving the TV, the remote died. I've gone without for some time as I haven't used my TV.

I mounted my TV today and realized the best way to control my TV is to use my phone. But I'm missing key features such as the quick options menu for things like turning the display off while the unit stays on.

Anyone recommend a remote that functions with ATV 7.0, under 50USD, and can survive regular everyday life such as drops or spills? Devices like Formuler GTV-BT1 looks promising but it doesn't appear that the additional features work on other devices. Everything else I see on Amazon looks pretty crappy.

Help! I have an Nvidia Shield Tv Pro with YouTube Tv installed on it. I am however unable to use my remote to access content from the app. I can only open and close the app. I have to cast from my phone to the screen. What could be preventing the shield remote from working on the YTTV app?
