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.
