Hi I have a Philips 43PUS7303 which runs android.
Sometimes applications crash, the bluetooth remote stops pairing etc and I need to reboot it.
Any idea how to reboot it besides unplugging the power cable?

So annoyingly long-winded to reset a Philips Android TV and ironic that it's something you have to do so often to stop it slowing to a crawl.
On the Sony one you can (or could?) hold the power button down for a few seconds to force a reboot. That doesn't work here.
You could install the button mapper app and bind a color key to the power menu in Android. Not sure if it will work on Philips, but it works on my Sony TV
Long pressing power button should work. Or not, well that's a bummer.
Like someone else mentioned here, I used Button Mapper to map one of the buttons on my remote to open the "Power dialog".
I really wish there was an app you could install to make it more convenient to restart. I have a ChannelMaster DVR based on Android TV and it gets janky if you leave it on live tv for more than a few hours. I ended up plugging it into a Wemo switch so I could tell Alexa to turn the android tv off and then back on. Having the restart option so far buried is a PITA.
The reboot settings doesn't exist on my philips 58pus7304/12 android 9 pie. Is there a bug for my TV or is there any one else missing the reboot option?
