I am having incredible issues with connecting to the Wi-Fi from my MBOX Android 10. Some times I can get connected and it will work for a short period of time, then it will disconnect and maybe say Connected, no internet. Some times it won’t connect at all, other times I’ve connected and it says Limited internet connection. Any ideas how to sort this? Or has anyone experienced similar issues. My broadband provider is Sky in the UK.

Hello! I'm an enthusiast for old CRT TVs and have a firestick ran through a converter to my television currently, however I have found that Amazon has phased out support for 480p via updates for some time and what I'm left with is a 16:9 output squished to 4:3. With apps like Plex and Kodi that have scaling settings I can stretch my 4:3 content to the whole 16:9 frame and it will look correct so it is okay for now. But I worry I will run in to content on an app without those features and it won't look right and I'd like the menus to look nice and just have more flexibility over this in general. Do any Android TVs still support this feature in 2021 and if so does anyone have a recommendation? Thank you!

Hello!

I have an issue with this smart TV. First of all I know it is not this product faulty, as I had another tiniert 4s last year and it started having the same issue out of nowhere.

Whenever a HDR video/film is being played, the picture mode automatically changes to HDR (as it should), but also restores motion smooth to default, which is standard. If I try to manually change it to off, on Netflix for example, one can still see the motion smooth, even though it says off, while on Amazon Prime if I start a HDR video, it also always resets motion smooth to standard and if I do change it to off while playing the video, the video closes, and then after restarting the video motion smooth is back to standard.

I have been doing some research and it seems it might be a firmware bug,

Are you by any chance able to help me out? Please, say that any of you has managed to fix this issue..

We have a Mi Box S.

Basically in the past week or two, every single time we wake up the Mi Box and go into youtube, when we select a video it will play half a second of the video (or of the advert beforehand) and then the video or advert freezes.

The box itself isn't crashed as I can go back to YouTube or the homescreen etc. and use the rest of it as normal.

The only way to get youtube playback to work is to restart the mi box. So, if we want to watch YouTube these days it goes like this: waken up mi box - restart mi box - wait a couple minutes for it to restart - play. It's frustrating.

Things we've tried:

• waiting on frozen video to see if it restarts after a short while (nope)

• force closing youtube app - nope, have to restart mi box

• uninstalling updates to youtube app - nope, playback still freezes both before and after reinstalling the updates

I'd be grateful for any pointers

Hopefully I can get some help and advice here - I have an older (2-3 years maybe) Android TV that I can’t install certain apps to because it’s running Android 5.1 (Phillips 43put6801/79). It shows there are no updates available when I use the menu to update.

Am I missing something or am out just out of luck with an older tv? Although I’d say I’m pretty tech savvy I have no experience with Android stuff.

Just bought a Hisense HiSmart 4K ATV4 65” TV and the Fox Sports and FoxNow don’t work- I get “Oops, something went wrong”. Does anyone with the same TV have this issue? Customer support was garbage.

So I've been on the Google tech chain for a while and he Chromecast with Android TV is the first first Android TV product I've had. Overall I'm loving it, but looking for a free browser.

I've tried Puffin TV of course, and it's solid feature wise but not worth subscribing to a browser. I sideloaded the most recent apk I could find for Firefox for TV. That's been fine but it feels just functional enough as no way to bookmark things, go to an address bar once you're on a website, no faster scrolling, and no way to even access browsing history to get around bookmarks.

I feel like someone must've found something that at least is somewhere between Puffin TV and where this Firefox is at, but I can't find anyone posting about it.

hey guys. im trying to find the best web browser for my new chromecast. ive been using puffin browser and it works grrat but it wants a subscription which is rediculous. any good alternatives?

I received a Mi TV Stick as a Christmas gift from my brother and holy moly hot dog - I can't believe they shipped such a broken product.

The lag is INSANE. Video streaming freezes/crashes the device frequently. The Hulu app in particular is unusable - I've seen this referenced in a few reviews of the product. Is anyone else here dealing with the same issues? Honestly at this point I'd cut my losses and try to return it, but it was a gift, so I can't.

I also read that the Mi TV Stick used to work very well before a software update. I'm a huge fan of Xiaomi from a hardware standpoint, but they're the worst when it comes to breaking their own products with unstable software updates.

Was really hoping to replace my old Chromecast, but at this point a five year old device is outperforming a brand new Mi TV Stick.

Hello, I have been using Mi Box S for a few months now and i have a problem. I have a paid iptv service(xstream) and even though I have tried a lot of popular apps, stream quality has never been as good as it is on my Android phone. It's like the resolution is lower and the stream is never so smooth. Is there anything else i can do or an app to try?

Want to know how to block ads in apps , like tubi or streaming apps like itv

I have purchased an android tv that I wish to use with a tvheadend server. I do not want to use kodi and know there are apps that require you to pay to get the full set of features. So is there any completely free app to integrate tvheadend into the android tv experience (e.g. live channel) with all the features (e.g. recording, guide and time shifting)

Having problems deciding between the Philips 70PUS8505 and the slightly larger Sony KD75XH8096 !

It will be primary used for movies and series, not gaming.

Madcatz the controller 3rd party company had a console in 2014 following the ouyas massive failure but as for emulation is it usable? I’m looking for an emulator to play 3DS and DS games on so please let me know if you’ve had one of the devices.

I recently have an IP TV and sometimes it freezes up I have fair internet connection capable of running the stream. I was wondering if I buy an USB dongle and connect it to the wired connection will it work?

Title explains it... On all 3 shield devices I have you can sign in. Any clue why not here? It just says you can't sign in... Makes the app pretty worthless

I can't find a clear answer but it sounds like prime video only allows hdr on select tvs due to licensing rights?

Is this true or are there other ways to get it? My Jetstream 4k and vizio tv both seem to play 4k, but not hdr.
