With my Amazon Prime subscription, I have HBO Now. I can watch HBO shows using the Prime Video app without a problem. But whenever I search for, say, "Lovecraft Country," it opens up HBO Max. Is there any way to fix this?

Everything else works so perfectly that this seems more annoying than it really is. I know I can just search for it from within Prime Video, but losing the convenience of the voice search kind of sucks.

So I have enabled T-link under system settings but I cannot locate the CEC options that is supposedly under inputs. It only shows the inputs, no CEC to allow the connected device to power off the tv.

TV is android tv 9

Model: 50S434

the android tv app typing sometimes types 2 letters on tv but phone only has 1 letter inputted, and its driving me nuts. beside factory reset, what else can i do?

So just wondering if anyone here had bought this in Australia? I would love to grab the APK for the stock launcher so works with Australian subscriptions.

So the Chromecast with Google TV finally brings the Google Photos screensaver to Android TV, but it does it in a strange way. "Ambient Mode" is essentially one of the screensavers you can choose, but Google hid the screensaver settings (can still access from a screen saver app).

This got me thinking, so I extracted the Ambient Mode apk and installed it on my Shield. It installs and shows up as a screen saver option, however I still can't get it to use Google Photos. It seems to ignore everything I do in the Google Home app. Something is missing.

Anyone have any ideas?

Is their a Reddit app for Android TV?

I can't find any option to disable it in the settings on the tv, but that chromecast text is really ugly.

Do these exist anywhere yet? My kids are at the age where everything gets thrown at some point, so I could use a little remote protection.

Hello everyone,

Just got a Xiaomi Mi Android TV Stick and right out of the box is not working. Goes to the Android logo and then powers off and restarts..I can't even do the initial Setup.

Is this a bug or is it already broken right out of the box?

Thanks!

Hulu has been bothering me on Chromecast with Google TV where it freezes the screen when playing ads. The audio continues but the screen does not change. I have had mixed results with rebooting Chromecast to resolve the issue. Does anyone know how to force close an app in Chromecast with Google TV or has a resolution to this problem?

I have this bug in my MI TV stick where whenever I start the device it shows wifi connected but no internet. I found this one video which is a fix of resetting the date and time in the settings but everytime I start the device I have to reset the date and time manually which is very frustrating. Anyone knows a permanent fix? Thanks in advance

Hey everyone, sorry to post a seemingly basic question, but google isn’t being any help at all so I hoped the community might have some ideas for me. My parents bought a Sony Bravia TV from Costco the other day and asked me to set it up for them. The thing is, while I have it connected to their network (YouTube and Prime video apps work) the play store seems to be malfunctioning. When I launch the app, it shows a list of popular apps (Prime video, Netflix, etc.), but if I go to search for apps, there are always no results. No matter if I type something general (like “Google”) or the specific name of the app I want, there are always no results. Has anybody seen something like this before?

For those that have one in hands, it’s possible to scale the size of the screen on this unit like FireTV one and Shield for old TV?

I’m waiting your return to decide if I buy one or not 🙂

Thank you!

Hi. I have a nVidia Shield TV 2019. Is there a way to install parental controls on the device to prevent kids from using the device, and say, PIN-protect it?

For example, I want to lock-out my kids from TV from 5pm-6pm (dinner time) and 8pm to 8am (bed time). When the 8pm pops in, I'd like the Shield to just stop what it's doing and present a PIN prompt.

Is there anything l like that at all?

I saw a post about "DinnerTime" but it seems it only works with tablets an mobile devices? does it work with Shield TV? I havent seen it on the store...

I know I could prevent this at the firewall level using rules etc, but I can't expect the wife to login to my router if she wants to watch tv at night when the kids are asleep...

I turned on my Mi Box 3 after 2 months of no usage. I got prompted with a new android system update. I haven't installed it, since something usually breaks after updating.

Can anyone with a Mi Box 3 share what they've experienced with the new update?

I watch a lot of movies with KODI and it works pretty good for the most part. I'd really hate to lose that by keeping it up to date.
