I've been trying to watch as much of the MLS tournament as I can, but the picture quality is terrible when playing from Android TV.

I have a Shield 2019 and it's wired Ethernet with gigabit FiOS internet.

• If I play using the native Hulu app on Android TV, it is terrible.
• If I cast from Hulu to my Shield the picture is great

What's up with that?

Hi all,

Just bought a mi stick TV, with Android TV and I'm not having fun. First of all, my fault I didn't know the only app I want to use is not supported (I want to watch football with the app my operator provides and it is the only way to watch the premium channels). Second, I managed to install it, I side loaded it, easy. But when I'm running the app, I have to log in, and the login menu is like a popup over the screen. The deal is, when that happens, I can't navigate anymore. I can't move up, sides, Down, nothing. Seems that it doesn't recognize something appears in a new layer.

Anyone can help? Please?

Ok so I have a 128gb USB set up, for some reason, I’m still getting a low storage error & can't download new apps. I've erased and reformated and still the same problem

I'm trying to get hulu to work on the tv. I sideloaded the app because my tv is a piece of shit and is not compatible with the playstore app but now I don't see it in my apps. How can I get it into my apps?

Ok got it to work with chromecast and my phone. Much easier.

I have a Xiaomi Mi Box S connected to an A/V Denon X3600H using an HDMI cable. When I play a TV show using Amazon Prime, GooglePlay Movies, or any other app I tried, I get 5.1 Digital Sound. However, on Netflix, I can see the symbol 5.1 in the TV shows main page, but then I don't have any 5.1 option in the audio menu when playing it. The signal received by the AV is just PCM. I tried everything I can think of, but no luck at all. Can you help me? Thanks

Hi guys, i have a tv Fuego 40 inch and connected the firestick but the remote wont work to shut down or power on the device. Can you help me pls

I have a Sony BRAVIA X850E w/built-in assistant. I can control on/off, pause, volume +/-. I can ask via one of our minis/hubs to play X from Netflix on THE TV and it works, HBO works as well. But, if I ask to watch BBC from Youtube TV on THE TV, it will say "Sure, playing BBC from YouTube TV on THE TV....sorry something went wrong. Give it another Try." If I just say "Watch BBC on THE TV", I get the same response. Sometimes it will say the show I want is available from several sources and ask which one I like, but if I choose YTTV -- "Sure, playing X from YouTube TV on THE TV....sorry something went wrong. Give it another Try." This USED to work -- I could just say the channel or the program and voila -- but over the past few weeks -- no dice. Anyone have a solution?

I got Apple airpods and I have been able to pair them with my Hisense HG8 TV to listen with. However if I connect them to another device, I cannot connect them back with the Hisense TV unless I unpair and go through the pairing process again. There doesn't seem to be an actual "connect" function in the bluetooth menu, only "change name" and "unpair."

Is this just the way it is or am I missing something?

Hello. I've used a Roku Ultra for the last couple of years but have become frustrated with it not offering some key apps such as Peacock and HBO Max. I also pay for services such as Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, Disney+ and also have access to some cable channels, which I stream often. These mainly include: ESPN, Fox Sports, HGTV, A&E, AMC, TBS, TNT, Showtime Anytime, Starz, PBS, IFC, SyFy, Twitch, etc. Are these channel apps available on Android TV? Are there any major streaming apps that are NOT available on Android TV? Thanks in advance.

I recently watched a review saw that prime video app in mi stick can be updated from play store and the app shows suggestions in channels in ui is there any possibility to get that in mi box 4k. My region is India if that matters in any way.

Hi, sorry for the dumb question. Was wondering if there is any way at all to add a system tweak to the actual operating system so I can change the screen resolution freely. I mean this in the sense that my 4k tv is great, however with obviously a lot older wii games, I would love to change the resolution outside of the current settings. Doing so would be nice because changing the picture setting from wide/full to original still blimps up the image way too large for something not made for 4k.

I'm mixing my words up so if you don't understand what I'm asking, let me know. It's just frustrating with the current options provided that there isn't more flexibility with setting screen size, especially within an input

Hi there, have some troubles opening apps from Netflix and Amazon Prime on my tv updated two days ago. Tried reinstalling AP but wont even open. Youtube works. What can be problem?

I'm looking for an app like xite, that has music video playlists, genres etc. Or an app with the ability to create/shuffle a playlist I can create myself. Any recommendations?

I am looking for buying the new Mi TV Stick, and use an existing desktop screen with it.
Since this screen does not have speakers, I would like to connect to a nearby bluetooth speakers I already have.

I know the stick has bluetooth. The question is whether bluetooth audio output would work.

Does anyone know about it, or even tried it ?

Thanks.

So was looking for an android TV, but was surprised when it was mostly Sony and Hisense that have android TV.

​

I've heard about issues with Hisense. Some reviews mention it has very little storage and is slow.

It's expected on lower end model, but want a smooth experience.

Sony seems to fair a bit better with smoother experience. Decent SOC,16gb storage and 3gb ram.

​

Just hard to find the actual CPU/RAM/Storage configurations on some of these android tvs.

Spoke with a Telus tech yesterday who confirmed they've finished rolling out their Pik TV updates to all their Telus Android boxes. Anyone privy to where a guy might find that APK dated July 2020? Currently I'm running version 1.92.106 for Android which came out in 2019. Thanks

This seems counter to the reason you have keyboard input in the app...

All my passwords are extremely long & complicated. So it's practically impossible to enter them with the remote.

​

Update: I pulled out an android tablet I use for testing & installed LastPass & Android Tv Remote & it does the exact same thing as the iOS app. I select keyboard input & type or paste & it doesn't insert it into the app on the Android TV.

Hey guys! I've noticed that since buying my mi box s, the menus on the TV look terribly oversaturated, especially the android menus. This isn't so bad as it doesn't extend to the content but if anyone has a solution I'd appreciate it :) Thanka

How do I use Netflix on an Android TV which doesn't support Netflix? Even after installing APK for Netflix it doesn't work. Any solutions to it?

Hi, quick question: is it possible to sideload Google Assistant and get it working on an Android TV with Chromecast built-in? Sorry if this question is already asked, couldn't find it.

Hello,

yesterday my Philips OLED854 has been upgraded from TPM191E_R.001.002.173.010 to TPM191E_R.001.004.100.000, running Android 9.

In the update, the NTFS capability of writing on external HDD via USB , has been removed. I don't know the reasons, but any app (Kodi, Solid Explorer etc) won't let you writing data, move files, create fils or folders.

I've been told that TLC brand seems having the same side effect from the update.

And i can indeed confirm that came with the last update, because i managed to downgrade the TV to version TPM191E_R.001.002.173.010 and , now, it reads/write NTFS file system without any problem, as it used to.

Of course i turned off the automatic updates.

Anyone of you is experiencing the same issue ? I'm really trying to make Philips aware of the issue (intended or not), so the more issues are flagged, the more chances we have they would actually look into.

PS : it seems that, early on this year (around February or March) the same thing happened to the MiBox Android TV. It might be something totally up to Android.

​

Thanks to everyone!

​

EDIT: Philips is escalating the issue internally, higher levels, because it's supposed to work. It might have fallen thru the QA process.

I'm currently using a Chromecast Ultra on my LG TV. I did want to get some more functionality out of the TV such as the use of certain apps.

How future proof is the Mi Box? It's there anything else which I can consider at that price point?
