PSA: Ematic JetStream now run Android 9

While some spec sheets have listed the JetStream as running Android 9, it's never been actually available for me. This morning the update was available. I'm not sure what exactly is new for Android TV but at least this finally puts the device on par with the Mi Box S.

Edit: YouTube 4K HDR works, but I have no idea if that was already the case in Android 8.

Alexa App Turning On TV Randomly

Went through the trouble of installing and activating the Amazon Alexa app on my Sony A8G. Seemed to work great, but then the TV started turning itself on at random hours of the day—and night.

Now, I’m not very superstitious, but it’s pretty creepy to wake up at 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning to voices in the living room. Took a while for me to attribute it to the Alexa app.

I thought it might be my Amazon Echo, so I disconnected it. But that didn’t fix it. The TV kept turning on about twice a day. Then I thought it might have something to do with the Do Not Disturb settings. So, I turned those off. No luck. Next, I disconnected it through the app on my phone.

The TV kept turning on.

Finally, I disabled —and deleted —the Amazon Alexa app on my Android TV. That was the only thing that fixed it.

Anyone else have a similar experience?

Bricked? Mi Box Troubles.

I own 2 Mi Boxes both of which got bricked. The first one got bricked while going through a software update. It would power on and get stuck in a boot loop. I had another so I just switched them and a few days later the MI box restarted for some reason and then got stuck in the same boot loop. I am assuming it has something to do with the DC adapter because I did use the same one for both, but I don't know. This was all months ago and now I came across one of the boxes recently and tried to power it on, but this time the LED turns on but the screen shows no signal. Not sure whether to bury it once and for all or to put some effort into reviving it one last time. I found a tutorial for flashing the firmware here, it's hard to follow though (seems to be translated from Spanish). Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks a lot!

Can't login to Nest on Shield

It just keeps telling me incorrect username or password. Google is signing me in using Smartlock. I just tested on another Shield and it signed me in just fine. I tried manually signing in and that doesn't work either. It's a Nest account, not Google, but it's working fine on two other Shields.

Any ideas?

TVB-100 no HDMI output on TV.

Hi, I received a second hand Android TV box. It has a model number TVB-100 which we receive from our ISP with their branding (Telkom LIT_ Box)

When I try to connect through HDMI it doesn't pick up on my TV. I'm awaiting an AV cable to try but is there anything I can do to troubleshoot it for now? I can't seem to find the Reset button either.

Any help would be appreciated.

Android TV in the UK 2020?

Last summer i set about updating my parents TV while home from school for a few months, since we have google homes galore in the house i naturally picked up an official Android TV OS box (Cant member the model rn) and within days realized that from a UK perspective it lacked any UK catch up channels and the like. (We get our live TV via plex however which was the only working thing in the end...)

So i ended up just buying a new Fire TV Stick and giving up, given that justifying a Sheild TV and its cost to my technically inept parents was a no go.

So i wanted to ask if anyone from the UK could tell me on the situation with catchup UK TV in 2020, i couldn't find much in the way of news on the interwebs but i dont imagine a new tv app would make headlines anyway. If there has been some new developments id be going for a Mi Box S

So To Go Wired Or Wi-Fi? Bravia Android TV

I have the KDL550C Bravia Android TV (pretty old! I know !) and got AT&T Fiber 1 gig internet ... now everyone keeps saying that go wired with your smart tv for better performance but in my case, I get hardly 100mbps download. What's the deal with that.. haven't tried Wifi but I am sure it will be better than this.. if this crapy network adapter on the Bravia is limiting the Wifi Speed then what's the point of going wired over wifi?
