I have the latest version 6.17.198 (using Pro main) and I am able to enable this in the "customize channel" area with newest Shield Pro device. However, I am unable to find Smart YouTube in the customize channel area on my 2017 Shield device. I've tried clearing data/un installing and no dice. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

I have a HDHomeRun that my Shield has no issues seeing in the Live Channels app via the HDHomeRun source but I can't get the network TV tuner to show up.

What I've seen before is make sure there is no attached storage. Also try uninstalling updates, clear cache/data, install updates, open close open.

EDIT: at this point I'm guessing my model is not supported.

EDIT2: Turns out my model isn't supported. Its the gen just before they started adding DLNA.

Hey Guys. I finally got my Mi Box S and it's great. Nothing like the terrible reviews. I connected it to a Roku OS TV though. The only annoying part is turning off the Android Box and the Roku TV separately. Is there a way for the Android TV Remote to control the TV? Or an app that lets this happen? Thanks!

Is it important to go for android tvbox that is google certified? Let's take this example: Beelink GT king vs Mecool KM3. What would I lose if I get a non-certified box?

I have HD homerun set up and it works perfectly, but I keep getting a pop up that says 'Network Tuner Disconnected'

Is there any way to turn off the in built network Tuner?

Setting up new TV/audio system and I have a closet that is behind the wall the TV will mount to. I'd like to put all the hardware in there so the room is less cluttered etc and wondering if the bluetooth remote will have signal through a wall.

Also, for a running Kodi will there be any performance difference between the Shield and Shield Pro?

Thanks

What is the best android box to get, aside from the Shield? Is Xiaomi Mi a legit option?

Thanks

YouTube has decent recommendations on the website and app, but on the Android TV version the recommendations are terrible and like they just throw random trash in there.

Is there a web Camera With good far field microphones + noise cancellation to use on AndroidTV ( shield 2019 ) ? PortalTV does exactly this, but it's a lot of redundant functionality and hardware. I know C920 is supported on AndroidTV, but it has a poor microphone ( not a far field ) and doesn't quite work across the room.

Browser keeps reloading saying can't connect to server and then reloads its very annoying ( there are no wifi issues that I can say for sure)

I purchased a Hisense 55H8F TV from Best Buy back in 08/2019 (08/02/2019 to be exact).  Recently, I've been having problems with the TV - the wi-fi on/off setting (in the Settings menu --> Network --> Wi-Fi) keeps turning the wi-fi capability of the TV off while the TV is in standby/off.  I don't know if this is a result of a firmware update that may have occurred or if it's a hardware failure that may not be repairable.

​

To explain further, last night I was using the TV.  It was connected to my home wi-fi network, everything was working well.  Using the remote control, I powered off the TV.  I left the room to go eat dinner - no one was in the room for this time period.  After dinner, I went back and turned the TV on again.  As soon as the screen came on, the TV displayed a notification across the top that "the wi-fi setting is turned off" (or something to that effect).  This has happened 5 times so far this week, so it's not just a fluke.  When I get this notification, the only way to get wi-fi back is to go into the TV Settings --> Network --> Wi-Fi and manually toggle the wireless functionality back to the on position.  Consistently when I do this the TV will immediately find and connect to my home wi-fi.  I have tried everything from switching the TV's wi-fi connection back and forth between the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, factory resetting, checked for all firmware/app updates, all to no avail.

Maybe someone can point me in the right direction. I bought this to replace a Roku Ultra because I want to be able to play lossless audio. While that works like a champ now HDR does not. Whether I stream from local content (Emby) or from the web (Netflix) I get the same problem. The Shield outputs an "HDR" signal (meaning that the TV says yes this is an HDR signal) but the picture is extremely dull. This happens with HDR and Dolby Vision content. The TV from Netflix sees Dolby Vision but once again extremely dull picture.

The best way to describe it is try to play a BT.2020 (HDR) color space file in BT.709 (SDR) color space. It's like trying to play an HDR file on a PC with an 8-bit (BT.709) setting. However, the shield is sending HDR to the TV. TV says it's HDR and the TV's menus are stupid bright like when it's in HDR mode.

I have tried playing with the settings in the Shield without success. I'm a bit frustrated and wondering if there's something I'm doing wrong. The same TV, AV receiver, and HDMI cables were used that my Roku Ultra used. That device had no problems playing HDR from Emby or Netflix.

TV: Sony XBR75X940E

AVR: Yamaha RX-A1060

I've tried plugging in the unit directly into either the TV or the AVR. Same result.

Hi. I use an app called Viaplay. They send Premier League and Champions League in the Nordics. They air some games in 4K, and they say that they support 4K if I have Chromecast Ultra. Can i expect to get 4K with that? The Android TV app does not support 4K.

I tried it last week, but I think it was 1080p - not 4K. Could be due to the fact that I need an Chromecast Ultra - not the Mi Box and could be a bandwidth thing (but the box is located 5 cm away from the router. 300 Mbit/s fibre. AC WiFi). The resolution is fixed to 2160p in Android TV settings. Auto doesn't work as it locks on 720p for some strange reason.

No way to check bitrate or resolution while casting with Viaplay, but perhaps there is an app I can install that shows current bandwidth usage?

Any recommendations on Sony’s android tv app for iPhone? The original app has been discontinued.

Thanks.

What is the best Android TV box with analog outputs that will send a 4:3 signal to a 4:3 TV? I've tried a Roku with a HDMI --> Composite converter but all that does is squeeze the 16:9 image into a 4:3 image making it unwatchable. So, I'm ditching the Roku idea.

Curious if there are any Android TV boxes that can output a 4:3 signal. It is on a TV in the bedroom so I mainly just need the Plex app and YouTube would be nice too. I don't need any paid apps on that TV. Ideally it would have composite output and Ethernet, but I could live without Ethernet.
