Recently I bought a Polaroid TV LE430M2 and so far the support from the manufacturer is ZERO. Seems that the support for the TV division is third party and the emails and support phones listed on the official website for that third party support are dead and no longer functional in any region. The main support team washes its hands off the matter telling me they only tend to camera related issues and redirect me to the non-existent third party support team.
I have given up on them and wouldn't recommend buying TVs from them at all (don't know about the cameras). I wonder if the community could help me solve some questions. Even though I've had Android phones, I feel like the TVs are kinda different (maybe its just the simplistic OS Polaroid installed on them) but well, here are my questions and thank you in advance if you help:
- Do android TVs allow external peripherals to be connected and used (Bluetooth adapters, microphone, camera, etc)? This TV doesn't have any of those so I can't connect my controllers or headphones.
- If the answer to 1 was that "yes but you need to root the device": Are Android TVs able to be rooted at all? Do I need custom firmware?
I never even knew Polaroid made TVs. I can tell you that with Android TV boxes you can add those peripherals. I suppose with TVs it can depend on the manufacturer but the Android TV OS allows it.
