Hi, I'm wondering how to sandbox an application on AndroidTV because neither Island nor Shelter work because AndroidTV doesn't have a working profile feature and x8csandbox is too heavy for 2GB storage. Any alternatives?

PS: Sorry for my english.

Hello guys! I recently purchased a TCL TV 32S5200 (it should run android TV R 11.0) and need to activate restrictions for app download. The problem is that the option Security & restrictions is nowhere to be found. On TCL website it says it should be under Device preferences between Usage & diagnostics and Accessibility. What did I miss?

If there is no such options, is there some app I can install to restrict access to apps?

Any recommendations on an android box under £40 in the uk? Want something so I can download nord vpn on!

I saw in Lives channels that it does support normal TV tuners, so I to know if anyone used a USB stick tuner

1. after running 'quick speedup' through 'safety guard', each time, Netflix auto launches and never gets exit, unless I force exit thru Apps or On/Off TV.

2. aspect ratio doesn't work well either 'Auto Detect' from 'Screen setting' is ON/OFF, have to toggle off, On then Off, it switches to 2.40:1, same thing happens in Kodi and default TCL media player while playing content from External HDD or streaming thru Netflix. in netflix I never been able to watch full screen content without black bars, whatever settings I tweak and regardless of appropriate content being played.

3. In dev mode, everytime I limit bg process to 1, and then upon rechecking its back to default value.

I tried to uninstall/reninstall Netflix but problems remain same as not related to NF but the system.

Anybody experiencing this? Any assistance would be highly appreciated. Thanks

I have a Toshiba Fire TV that is only used for running my Shield. To keep it short, CEC is inconsistent and sometimes wants to just show the home screen instead of changing to the last used input. Which CEC should handle this but rarely does.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a custom ROM or other solution to strip all the Amazon out of this TV?

I stopped using them for a while started using them again and they're all broke or telling me to downgrade my TV

Hi, anyone else facing this? The 4K Xiaomi TV Stick Disney+ app has no Dolby Digital/Atmos sound track, only 2.0 sound.

All other apps are working with Dolby Digital/Atmos.

Casting from a phone gets a 5.1 soundtrack (but no Atmos).

Newbee here, can we install any apk onto android TV? or any app on google appstore on android TV?

I factory reset my 2017 Shield TV last night and reinstalled Button Mapper. I gave it permissions in accessibility like I'm supposed to, but nothing I've tried will work... I'm trying to disable the damn Netflix button on my new remote but no matter what I do, the Netflix button still works. In fact, all of the buttons still work as default even if I change them. This worked before I factory reset it so I'm dumbfounded. It also works on my Shield TV Pro. Any ideas??

Just wanted to ask if do you guys have any updated-tv-browser recommendations?

I already tried using Puffin TV Browser but it keeps on crashing and it makes my tv screen stutter? Firefox TV is also the same everytime I stream videos but without the stutter

Does anyone know if the Walmart onn. streaming box supports a custom DNS from Unlocator?

Backstory: I'm trying to find a streaming box that I can use solely to get around ESPN+ geolocation blocking for NHL games. I have subscribed to Unlocator, and it actually works on my AppleTV4K, but I swear it screws up the connection on my other streaming apps. And switching the DNS every time I want to watch hockey games is not really an option.

I have an Amazon Fire stick, but per Unlocator's website, the Fire Stick will ignore IPv4 DNS settings in favor of IPv6, which breaks Unlocator.

My SmartTV is an LG OLED, which for some reason doesn't have the ESPN+ app, so there's no help there.

Roku and Chromecast both don't support custom DNS settings, so I can't use them either.

So I'm left with the onn. Walmart streaming box, or one of the more expensive options like another AppleTV or a NVidia Shield. So does anyone know if the onn. box will let me add custom DNS to get around NHL blackouts?

I keep a lot of my video content stored in OneDrive, what's the best way that I can stream that through Android TV?

I've tried side loading the OneDrive app, but that doesn't work & the screen cast option in the OneDrive app I find cuts out randomly so I'm left scratching my head a bit if this is possible?

Hey, I usually put movies on my 2TB hard drive and then insert it via the USB port on my Hitachi android smart tv. If a movie on my hard drive is in 4K or in BluRay 1080p, and then I play it on a media player like VLC. Does the media player actually play it fully in 4K or the BluRay 1080p that it is supposed to be playing, or is the quality reduced?

I'm setting up a new Google TV dongle for my parents and I don't want them to see ads or pay-per-view offers. I set the OS to App Only mode and checked only two services in their account: Amzon Prime and a TV streaming service that they use. On the home screen I get recommendations for those two services which is fine but I still get ads for Disney+ content. When I click it, it asks me to install the D+ app. Why is that? It really annoys me. They have their own Google account and never used D+. Is there a special deal between Disney and Google or is it a bug? Does anybody have the same issue or even a solution for it?
