Hey, I've just bought a xiaomi Android TV with a built in tuner, but I can't figure out how to set the live tv as I can't change the satellite provider because it is greyed out. The model is Mi TV 4S 43"

And will it work on another device?

Is it possible to extract a rom/firmware from an android device, want to start looking at this stuff, as i see loads of custom roms about

Thanks

Any rechargeable Remote (universal/ learning) that supports Bluetooth & IR (maybe even RF if required) Control of Android TVs/ Smart TVs/ FireTVStick etc?

Hi guys

Does anyone know of a website that has the Fire TV or official TV version the History Vault app? Or could extract it or something?

Be much appreciated :)

[Discussion] Best Player to control & play Audio from NAS/ HDD/ Shared Folder via Android TV/ Fire TV Stick? Audio language courses, talks, audio books, music? Used Kodi, but hoping there's better?

Is there a way to lock the YouTube app in Android TV? I don't want to use separate profile.

I need to remotely manage Mi Box S that I've bought for my parents who are not staying with me.

What are the confirmed remote management apps that work for Mi Box S? Searching for one is like searching for the holy grail.

There are many options being suggested here and elsewhere but the common feedback is TeamViewer and Anydesk only allows remote view and not control for Xiaomi devices or at least not for Mi Box. Is this still the case?

I use Airdroid for my own boxes within my home network and if I'm not mistaken it needs root which I'm trying to avoid for Mi Box.

Have not tried Alpha VNC Lite. 10min limited use is bummer. I suppose if it's the holy grail I will consider purchasing it. Anyone knows how much is the paid version and if sideloading using same Google account will still be validated?

Any other remote management app has been confirmed to work in Mi Box?

Appreciate any help that may come my way!

I have two USB sticks, both of which are SanDisk, 128GB both formatted to NTFS.

The SanDisk USB Ultra Fit 3.0 works perfectly in android TV, but my SanDisk Extreme Pro USB 3.0 is not recognised by AndroidTV, but it works in my laptop.

Any reason why my second USB stick doesn't work in android TV? I wanted to use the extreme pro as it's faster, do I need to use software to reformat it? If so which will work?

Any recommendations on a USB stick that will work?, I thought anything up to 4TB would work.

Hi. I have an unusual question. I need to cast mirroring of AndroidTV to another chromecast device. Standard procedure (phone to tv) is known, but how to reverse?

I have two TVs. One has Chromecast 2018, another got Mi Box S. I need to duplicate Mi Box’s screen to Chromecast device of the another TV.

Is it possible?

p.s.: HDMI splitter is not an option.

I have a xiaomi mi tv 4s with a bluetooth soundbar. Every time i turn on the soundbar, then the tv and it doesnt automatically connect. I go to the device and accessory settings, it shows the previously paired soundbar but i can't click on it to get it to connect, it only gives me "unpair" and "rename". So every time I have to unpair and then add an accessory again....Am I missing something on how to manually select an item to connect to?

Using Android TV has been an underwhelming experience. Its moderately useful and does the job in most cases. However I can only rate the tv operating system 6 out of 10.

Considering I agree with Google for them to use my personal data for access with a Google account and all the tracking that entails, I don't feel I am getting much in return. I would have liked to opt out. I don't like the idea of Google forcing its permission to access my hardware. I would like to create a new account without providing a mobile phone number. These kinds of things make me reluctant to engage and rely on Android TV.

Android TV lacks customisation. The interface is dull and not always intuitive. Its functional and responsive enough but again I was expecting something greater. Integration with apps is still buggy. The number of Google Play apps I can install on my tablet is so much lower on Android TV. Another disappointment. I would have liked to be able to delete media files on Android TV but I can't.

Kodi has been good for music playing and VLC for video. I also like Haystack TV. Beyond that Android TV is ho hum. It lacks a drawcard or any charm. Maybe its because I don't like to pay for subscription streaming services. Has anyone else's experience been similar? Is Google devoting enough resources to this platform?

FYI: I've connected my TCL 4K tv to a soundbar, Samsung Galaxy Tab, Roku, wireless xbox controller, external hard drive, mp3 player and usb stick.

It's been one year since the last update for original mi box 3 international, no security patches no android update, no kernel update, no bug fixes NOTHING

while it has the exact same hardware as the new mi box

there is no reason to not updating the old model when it has the same hardware

Not sure if I'm doing this right But i have my router in one room and connected it into my Ethernet wall outlet wall via Ethernet cable. I have my nvidia in the the other room and connected it via Ethernet through the Ethernet port in the wall aswell. How come it’s not seeing the Ethernet connection?

Hi,

I just have that annoying behavior that every time I turn my TV on, I have to go to setting and click on my usual wifi to connect to the internet. It is there as "saved", but the TV just does not automatically make the link. It used to, and I did do a reset of the Android system which solved the issue, but it is now happening again.

Is this a known bug? Any idea how to solve it?

I have a building with about 50 units, everyone now has Android T.V. from the cable provider and I was curious is there a camera option that we could use for Front Door / Laundry Room and Back door that everyone could access via either an APP with a single login? or some other way? Thoughts?

I need to change the batteries in my Philips Android TV (55OLED854) remote control every 2-3 months.

Have you experienced the same issue?

Hi all,

I have a Hisense android TV that regularly has issues loading YouTube. I've figured out that if I long press the power-off button on the remote, it gives me an option to fully shutdown the TV. This fixes any issues I might be having with apps.

Is there a setting I can change to make the full power off the default setting? I've looked everywhere but no dice.

Thanks!
