I live in the UK , and can't make my mind up if to get an android TV or a android set top box, what are the pros and cons?

Thank you for your help

I'm dreading for that it will eventually happen to me

I've been wondering about it's privacy features, if I set my account on let's say the living room TV, will the users of that TV have access to my pictures through Google photos and have access to my emails and contacts as well?

Will I start to get YouTube suggestions based on what they watch?

Will they be able to purchase stuff with my account?

Thanks.

2 questions;

1. How do I get the colours up on my remote? (Remote has: power, voice, up, down, left, right, centre, short menu, back, home, Netflix, Live, volume up and volume down buttons)

2. How do I reconfigure either the Netflix button or Live TV button to another app?

Want to get a shield but heard rumors of a new and updated one coming out so idk to wait or not.

I just updated to oreo and it suck imo. The older UI was much cleaner and easier to use. Also does anyone know how to clear recent apps on this oreo version? It was holding home button in previous version.

Hello all,

I have an old PC laying around so I thought I would give it a go to install the 'Geek til it hurtz' Android x86 build of Nougat 7.1

I have created my USB using Rufus as instructed from the YouTube video.

Now I boot the PC into the USB, choose Install to Hard Disk... And it just sits on "Detecting Android-x86..............."

Nothing more! Any ideas what the issue could be?

By the way this is a touch screen all in one that I am just using for testing purposes.

Thanks!

Looking to replace my Sony Z9F with a link bar. Just curious if HDMI inputs have input lag/latency? Would like to do some gaming. Also curious if you can automatically switch to the HDMI input if you turn on your console (i.e. I turn on my PS4 and it automatically switches to the I put my PS4 is plugged into)? Thanks!

Edit: also curious about surround sound with this thing. Can I add rear speakers? Would like to be able to do at least 5.1 audio. Not sure how many speakers the main unit has. Thanks again.

Can anyone please help explain this to me in layman terms? I'm leaning towards the Nvidia shield now because everyone says, no matter what go with that. It's a bit out of my price range. Gaming isn't something I'm really interested in, so idk how much power I need. I have searched Reddit and googled to the point of just being 100 % confused now. If I don't have to drop $179 on the Nvidia I'd rather not. I guess my big question is are there other devices that give true 4k? I'm not even sure if the is the correct sub for this. Again, I'm sorry because I'm sure this is covered constantly, but I just can't make any sense out of it. Thank you!

Have a fire TV remote with my nvidia shield tv. Works great but lately the batteries die in the remote within like 2 or 3 days. Is there a bug or something?

I have a Sony Bravia KD-49XG9005 Ethernet connected to my router. When I turn it on there's no internet so no app will work. After I go to settings>network and wait it will finally connect (it might do that without going to settings). It must disconnect right after I turn the set off because I don't have a connection after turning it on again. Is there a setting I need to change?

Boy, I'm really not liking this TV a lot.

I have bought a sony android XBR-60X830F TV and every once in a while , it looses connection to internet.

Each time it happens, I have to unplug the tv and then it will go back to normal. Why this thing keeps happening and what is the permanent fix to this?

Video files using SW decoding stutters while those using HW plays smoothly. Same goes for VLC (though it doesn't show how it decodes) and for both 1G/8G Sony Android TV and 2G/16G cheap Android TV box.

I was trying to find out how I can tell which files will be using HW and which will be using SW, but I looked up media info on MPC and I can't tell. The rare few HVEC ones are all HW, but most show AVC AVC1 and I don't see the difference. Is there a way to tell?

I saw a post say HW use hardware and SW means its using CPU, so if all aspects remains the same but change ram to 4G, will it stop the stuttering? Or can it only be helped with better hardware (CPU, GPU, etc)?

Hey guys, first post in this subreddit. Just wanting to see if there is anybody out there who knows why my Philips tv won't pick up my headphones when they're in Bluetooth pairing mode. They worked with my old Philips tv. Model is in the title, and my headphones of choice are the Sony WH-1000XM3's. Thanks in advance, and feel free to request any info!

PS: both the tv and my headphones are up to date software wise.
