Hi guys,

I've doing research on Android TVs. Apparently I can't find what's the highest RAM for Android TVs now.

Any advice?

Thank you so much!

So it’s 2020 now and I am wondering if there are any updates on this:

Any idea if I can get my XBOX One Wireless Controller (non-Bluetooth) working with a Mi Box S 4K running Android TV?

The official XBOX One Wireless PC adapter is hooked up to my PC in another room but it is too far away to receive in the living room with the TV.

Hoping to get this done either through software / driver / or by physically taking the wireless adapter and plugging it into the USB port on the Mi Box S 4K

Do any of the Samsung android TVs have Samsung TV Plus and if so can anyone extract the apk? I have it on my phone and I love it, would be nice to have it on TV too

Please help Can i use remote mic on Mi Box S for voice chat like Google Duo . Cause when i use it , voice good first 30sec After that , the voice disconnect . I think mic sleep . Please help , sorry for syntax error .

I'm trying to install some Indian TV apps in my fire TV cube and even though I've changed the region to India the cube refuses to show and install the apps. I've permanently connected via vpn too but no dice.. Looking for someone to help me out with the Indian versions of the apps from fire tv store (tried android versions and they're incompatible)

The apps I'm looking for are:

• Voot
• Hotstar
• Zee5
• SonyLiv
• PTCPlay
• any other apps I can use to watch Indian TV and Movies for free

Appreciate the help guys!

So I’m a bit of a tech freak when it comes to tech. So when I saw the Google TV it caught my interest.

I currently have a Shield and Chromecast Ultra for Stadia.

So I ordered from Google - very very easy to set up. However unlike my shield my American google account didn’t pick up as many of the apps as I’d like DAZN being one. But pretty easy to sideload it.

I ordered a USB C hub so I’ve got a 500GB SSD attached to it.

The only thing I don’t like is that there isn’t a quick way of closing apps? Seems you have to force close them all individually? Unless someone knows of a way/app that does this.

But in my view much better than the Amazon Firestick which I guess is the market Google are going for.

I’m enjoying the Google TV interface - just wish it would show more apps.

Also I’ve noticed my shield picks up that my tv can run 4K at 60hz but Google TV only picks it up at 4K 30hz which means no UHD in Netflix but I get it on Amazon Prime and Youtube.

So I’ll rate it 7/10

Is it possible to force google tv to display the US menus without using a VPN? The menus are very basic in my european country even with US apps as inthey dont show up with recommendations etc.

Anyine in Australia managed to install the Google tv UI (Launcherx) and not need a VPN?

I've tried the apks in the usual channels around, but also tried the launcherx and base.apk from my Australian delivered chromecast.

Seems with all versions I still need a VPN for launcherx to load the home page properly.

Seems odd seeing that it's released here now, so not sure why there is still a geo lock to the US even with my own apk.

Anyone managed to install launcherx without having to use a VPN? I can turn the VPN off after the page loads, and then the advertising row at the top and the cost of movies resorts back to Australian only sources and AUD but it seems to eventually go back to error loading the home properly and I have to reactivate the VPN.

I want to get my Vodafone TV box with this new UI as it has a built in tuner as I will offload it to the inlaws who need a tuner (I use hdhomerun) and have the nice new interface with all sources showing.

Just received my Chromecast with Google TV and am trying to use it with the provided Sling TV app. If I am watching an OTA channel (using an AirTV Anywhere) I get major buffering on the Sling TV app. The other streamed channels work pretty well, just that the OTA channels are bad. Anyone else with this setup and having the same problem?

Right now I use a receiver hooked up to my tv via toslink. I can only change te volume via the buttons on the reciever, because I lost the remote.

Changing te volume of the tv does nothing.

If I would hook up a nvidiashield would it also have this problem, or does it have it's own independent volume

Also heard there was a it blaster on the remote, but I can't seem to find a compatibility list too show me if my reciever would work with it.

My reciever is a pioneer sx sw series unit

Because I would love to have just one remote and not have to walk too my reciever to change volume

Just purchased 2 of the new Chromecast with Google TV's and I'm wondering how other people with families have "worked around" the lack of multiple user/profile support. My wife and I have 4 kids (all setup in Family Link, which has helped with previous Android/Chrome OS devices) and I really don't want recommendations for what my kids watch showing up for me (and vice versa). Also, I would still like to be able to install my paid for apps/games onto the TV.

95% of my families usage will be YouTube, YouTube TV, Netflix, and random Android games from the Play Store, but other than that, I bought a couple USB-C hubs hopping to run some emulators to play my old games and also run Stadia/Geforce Now/Steam Link with mouse/keyboard, but I was hoping to be able to keep the kids out of the non age appropriate stuff.

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

I ise usb to sideload apps... It worked when I first tried it but suddenly "there was a problem parsing the package" always pops up in any app that I install...I don't know the reason why this is happening. So I wonder if anyone can help. Even tried to install the same app I installed when it worked.....

So, I have a shield tv, and I have tons of streaming apps (HBO max, Disney plus, Amazon prime) and whenever I finish watching those, and log back into YouTube tv, it will play for a second, and FREEZE. sometimes, it freezes to the point I have to restart my shield. Not even force stopping everything stops it.

Any help or advice?

First off, I am a HUGE Android TV (Google TV) fan and even sang its praises on here recently. I had a Nexus Player (Google's only other directly sold product with Android TV, that I am aware of) and it was awesome. Still to this day the best streaming device and OS I've ever had. It died when millions worldwide died on the same day. That still has never been fully explained, to my knowledge. I've been waiting for Google to release another Android TV device since then. So I bought a Chromecast with Google TV the day it was launched. I have to say I am disappointed thus far. It definitely has the feel of a product that wasn't ready for release.

Issues I can think of:

When I first set it up it would not bring in any of my Google Play TV and Movies content. None. Showed an empty library. Even when I searched for a movie or show I already owned it would try to make me repurchase it. That issue appears to have been fixed a week or so in. Kudos to them for fixing it.

I have lots of casting issues. When I try to cast from the ESPN app on my phone it tells me to select content even though I am actively playing a video in the ESPN app.

Mirror casting from my Samsung phone is useless. It is so choppy and buggy it isn't usable. I can mirror cast to a much lower spec Roku with no issues at all.

Streaming via built in Google TV apps sometimes doesn't work. ESPN app is a good example. It will buffer every 3 or 4 seconds. I can pull up the exact same stream on the exact same network on my phone or Chromebook and it works flawlessly.

There are other issues I have noticed but can't think of them right now.
