My android tv is shit

by ALGURII

I have a Blaupunkt UHD 4K TV that is shit, it has the most horrible and shittiest OS I have ever seen, it is supposedly an android tv. When I enter there is this really bad GUI and it tells you which apps you have and the inputs you can access, firstly I used the TV os as the OS that will handle netflix and youtube (the only apps I use in a tv), but it was a really shitty experience, where apparently the OS was more PC focus which means that I needed a cursor in order to move around the movies, this was extremely bad, that's why Blaupunkt hace 2 controles, one really bad plastic controller and another which barely decent that connects via USB and has the cursor functionality, if I don't use that I can't use netflix which is the shittiest experience I ever had the controller didn't even moved the coursor so I had to put on the perfect spot in order to read it, my old gen dumb tv was way better. Then I decided to just don't use the OS of the TV, instead a family member gave me a chromecast which was really amazing, even though I need to use my phone every single damn time it was better because at least I can select the movie I want, even though the quality is infirior because you need to mantain your phone connected which is another thing that I hate about chromecast, at least it is waaaaaay more functional than the TV.

Then I bumped into another problem, every time I turned on the TV, it was the slowest shit I ever seen, it was like 30 seconds to one minute just to turn on, then I needed to use the shitty controller to select the HDMI 1 input in order to finally use chromecast, then I needed my phone to cast which is bad overall because the quality is lost, but I really like chromecast, the new chromecast looks pretty nice too.

The only thing that I want from this terrible OS is to, that every time I turn on the TV, it automatically enters the HDMI 1 port so I could chromecast more easily instead of waiting for the controller to function and then select manually, is there a way to do this? Pleaseee

Look for CEC settings, at least that would make the TV automatically change to the active device assuming it has CEC also.

Some TVs you can set this and some you can't, on my new Hisense ATV I can't but on my 3 year old LeEco ATV it has a setting.

I've never heard of a Blaupunkt TV, they used to make awesome audio equipment until they were bought out.

Buy a good tv or a fire stick 4k, save you the headache and the typing.

Chromecast doesn't require the phone to be connected once the stream starts. Are you sure you aren't sreen mirroring? The phone is just a remote. You can do other things with the phone or even turn it off.

Switch to a Roku and stop your complaining.
