App to easily switch DNS?

Does anyone know if there are any good apps available that help you easily switch your DNS settings?

I'd like to make it super easy for my parents to toggle a smart DNS service on and off, without having to manually enter the addresses in the settings menu every time.

Everything I've found so far is just for phones, not Android TV.

Profiles on Prime Video app

Can someone tell me how to enable profiles on the Prime Video app?

I currently sideload the app to a Mi Box 3, (since it is not available on the store to my device). I have seen Mi Stick review videos with profiles option on the Prime Video app.

Current version available on Aptoid is "5.2.45-googleplay-armv7a". Is there a different version for Mi Stick devices? Other Android TV devices that support Prime have profiles or not?

Wait for Google "Sabrina" or go with Shield TV?

Hello everyone!
While we really enjoy our Chromecasts we want to move back to a more classic tv experience with the option to use a remote. We have two few month old 4K TVs, but one of them is webOS and one is a rather slow Android TV one. I want to unify these experiences for the whole family with two NVidia Shield TVs as that would fit our needs perfectly.
However I heard that Google is about to release a Chromecast successor with Android TV and just wanted to ask for your honest opinion about whether we should wait for that device or go with two Shield TVs. I'm afraid that Google is going to equip the new device with features that third party devices like the the Shield won't get. What do you think?

A useful workaround if your TV it's slow and crashes

I bought a Philips 55pus7304 recently, it's a decent TV for the price and comes with Android TV, the only problem is that sometime just grind to an halt, with sluggish apps, the interface lags and streaming it's not consistent.

The problems seems related to the 2gb of ram, one solution I found useful it's to disable Google Chromecast in the system apps and disable Google assistant, I have a Chromecast Ultra and a Google mini to do the same job and the TV finally has started to behave properly.

Video streams in multiple apps stop loading after pausing on Philips Android TV

Sorry if this has been posted before but I haven't found anyone else mentioning this issue. I use various streaming apps on my Philips Android TV and they invariably have the problem that the videos stop loading when I continue playing after having paused them. Involved apps are PrimeVideo, Videoland and NPO (the latter two being Dutch streaming apps). Casting from my phone works fine.

TV is connected wirelessly to router. After the video stalls, I can browse and search just fine on the home screens of the apps and the home screen of the TV so it does still seem to be connected. When I select the video again it doesn't load, though.

So far I have cleared the cache on the TV and rebooted it, which helps temporarily. Also, I made sure that both Android and the aforementioned apps are up-to-date. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Edit: the TV model is 43PUS7304.

Edit 2: same issue when connecting TV by wire.

How do I install region restricted apps with VPN?

I can watch Funimation content from my country using a VPN. But I can't install the app on my NVIDIA Shield TV because it's region restricted. If I enable a VPN on the Shield TV, disable Location, clear Google Play Store data and cache and force restart the app, it will still only show me apps that are available in my country. Is there another way to achieve this?

Xiaomi Mi TV Stick - Overheating

This device cannot handle keeping apps open in the background, and there is overheating as was mentioned in a few reviews I saw. The device gets very hot and the interface is pretty slow. HULU does not work on this device for me, it always crashes and has to reload the homescreen.

I opened up the case of the stick and have been using a USB-powered Honeywell portable fan to help cool.

Just wanted to reiterate that the Mi TV Stick is slow and overheats.

Unable to change date / time on Android TV.

I have an issue with my Sony smart TV with Android. I'm having issues connecting to my wifi. While debugging I noticed that the time of the device is locked to the 21st of April. My experience is that incorrect date / times on a device can lead to weird issues, maybe even this issue with the wifi.

The problem is that i'm unable to change the date on the device. When I go to: "Device preferences > date & time > automatic date & time" I see the options "use broadcast time". This option is greyed out so I'm unable to change it. I'm wondering why and what "broadcast time" is supposed to mean. I have no cable TV so i'm unsure what this time is based on.

Thanks if someone knows a solution.

Help me to find a remote - Sony A8F

Hello! I got this new (for me) tv but I don't like the remote at all.

I did not really understand how it works... I paired via BT an old fire stick remote and works pretty well, but I cannot control the volume or change the channels when I am on the "standard" tv.

I do need a remote with IR to change the channels?

Thanks and sorry for the dumb questions!
