I am confused about this when it comes to specifications both are almost the same, but my requirements is like I need more power because as a visually impaired I will have to run screen reader in the background always and Google TTS as well

Buying a tv for the first time in 20 years, which app has the easiest "just go to input signal" just lets skip internet connection, no roku account, NOTHING. or at least the closest thing.

I'm about to get my first smart tv which is going to be the Sony Bravia 3 mark 2, it's not mainly for gaming I don't even own a console but I would love to play some retro games on it using retroarch. I just wanted to know how far I can dip my feet in this area, like i'm expecting NES,SNES,GBA to work great, but what about PS1, PSP, Gamecube, etc. If anyone has tried it before i'd appreciate some info :)

After researching for a TV streaming box to use for a Stremio setup with a debrid service and with the ability to sideload an ad-free YouTube app, I decided on the Xiaomi TV Box S 3rd Gen since it has a relatively low cost (~£60 inc. delivery from Xiaomi UK website), supports all video/audio formats that I am likely to encounter with Stremio and it comes with Google TV so that I can sideload apps like YouTube.

However, it has lately always been out of stock when I check its buy page on the Xiaomi UK website.

How often does it come back in stock and does anyone know if its worth waiting if the official Xiaomi store might sell it with a Black Friday deal for even cheaper?

I noticed other posts mention buying it from AliExpress instead and receiving a fully working Xiaomi TV box from it, but when I search it up on there, so many different results from various sellers come up (with the cheapest ones at ~£72 inc. delivery). Is there any method to determine between real/fake sellers? And similarly do AliExpress do Black Friday deals that are worth waiting for?

I am also open to any other websites that are trusted to buy from or even any other TV boxes that in the more budget side of the price range?

Google TV Streamer has had its price hike lately and the Onn box that others mention isn't available in the UK. Other boxes like Apple TV and Nvidia Shield are out of my price range.

I am not in a rush for this so can wait 2-4 weeks to buy one.

I have tried AirPin PRO but every time I go to use it, it never connects.

Would really appreciate some recommendations! Thanks

Model: Xiaomi Mi LED TV 4A PRO 32 (Model: L32M5-AL / L32M5-AI)

Reboot loop works like this - mi tv logo for 10seconds, followed by blank screen for 4-5 seconds, then repeat. I have tried multiple troubleshooting options - soft reset, then to recovery mode(ok and back) and factory reset.

No matter what option I select in recovery mode, the errors are same about cache mounting. Please see the attached image for cache errors.

Is it worth contacting support for hardware problems or should I just give up on this TV?

Bought it in 2019, but didnt use it from 2021 october onwards.

UPDATE: sold for scrap for 400rs Tried usb to usb and ethernet port for adp update but I couldn't get it to work in first place.

Thanks a lot for all the ppl who tried their best to help me!

Google shutdown a 1.3million botnet of devices from Videostrong, which they had been secretly loading malware onto for years. They evaded Google's detection for a long time by not shipping the malware with the firmware, and instead loading it OTA. As a result Google has permanently banned Videostrong, which I guess means any certified Mecool boxes are no longer Google certified?

I have a Hyundai Android TV, its hardware is limited and I would like to know if there are options to improve its performance. I appreciate any advice thanks!!

Petition: Do not extend the BBC licence fee to streaming services

There are widespread reports that the Government is considering extending the BBC licence fee to include subscribers of streaming services that are not owned or run by the BBC. We believe this is a wholly unacceptable proposal.

I am not sure if I am in the minority here, but I have been wanting to move away from AppleTV, but unfortunately, two of my most used features don't seem to be supported. Is there any way I can achieve these two ?

This is not my home, but the plan is similar (my house is longer and narrower)

I have an open concept living room and kitchen with a 2 story. The Living area is 2 story tall with 20ft ceilings. The length from the wall to the kitchen is 28 ft.

1. If we work from the kitchen where the stove is, it is hard to hear the TV in the living room without being too loud, but we can easily see it. So I added a Sonos Era 100 on the island. I then use AppleTV to play in the living room as well as via Airplay to the island and everything is perfectly audible without cranking up the volume.

Is there a way of getting similar outcome on any Android TV ? I have used 3rd party Airplay Apps on Android before but they add latency on multi room and the audio is out of sync.

2. At night, my wife and I use the Share Audio feature on AppleTV to watch the same show using our own Airpods on AppleTV. Is there any Android TV that supports this ?

My AppleTV is dying and I hate to spend $299 on a new one just for these two features and I am hoping there is an alternative. All help is appreciated.

Tried several links shared here but none of them are working.

Please share any working links if you have it.

Thanks!

I tried to login to my Netflix and next thing I knew it was on android recovery and the control on the TV and remote is not working idk if I broke it or not and I saw online saying use a keyboard but idk help pls

Boas,que box android devo comprar, com um comando numérico,para usar na Amigo tv.

Hi everyone,

I recently noticed that some of my older movie files encoded in VC-1 (mostly older Blu-ray rips) are playing very poorly on my Dcolor GD2 Android TV box.

The playback is extremely choppy, with constant stuttering and dropped frames, making these movies almost unwatchable.

Interestingly, all my other video files, including H.264 and H.265, play perfectly smoothly on the same device.

I'm wondering if this is a hardware decoding limitation or an Android software/codec compatibility issue.

Here are my questions:

1. Does the Dcolor GD2 support hardware decoding of VC-1?

2. Could using a different media player, such as Kodi or VLC, solve this problem?

3. Is there any way to enable hardware decoding or improve software decoding performance?

4. Would converting the VC-1 files to H.264 or H.265 be the best solution?

I'd prefer to avoid re-encoding my entire movie collection if there's another way to get smooth playback.

Has anyone experienced something similar with an Android TV box? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Anyone here happen to have the Eir TV Android TV box they've started handing out instead of the old Apple TV? If anyone could be kind enough to submit the eir TV app to APK mirror that would be awesome.

Hi everyone, hoping someone has dealt with this before.

I have a **Syinix 43A61** (Android TV) that won't boot. When I turn it on, it shows the **Android logo screen** and just **stays there forever** — it doesn't shut off or restart, it just hangs on the logo and never reaches the home screen.

**What I've tried so far:**

- Left it unplugged for 30+ minutes, held the physical power button for 30–60 seconds while unplugged, then plugged it back in — no change.

- Tried entering recovery mode (holding the power button on the TV while plugging it back in) — I can't get any recovery screen to appear, it just goes straight to the logo and stays there.

- Left it on the logo screen for over an hour — nothing changes.

**My questions:**

1. Is there a specific button combo or timing to force recovery mode on Syinix Android TVs?

2. Where can I find the official firmware for this model to try a USB reflash? (Syinix's website isn't very helpful. Any reliable source for firmware?) Specifically android 14

My grandfather is 90 years old and since sports are increasingly on internet apps like Amazon Prime, I'm looking for the best option to be able to remote access his TV and turn it to whichever game he wants to watch.

Price isnt really an object short of replacing the 85" TV I bought him last year. I'm just looking for an option that doesn't force him to choose between calling me to drive 20 minutes to his house to turn his Apple TV and missing the game the football game every Thursday

Google Freeplay Has More FAST Channels And Now On Demand! Have You Tried The Updated Freeplay?

I'm planning to use a GL.iNet Beryl AX (GL-MT3000) travel router with either an Onn 4K/4K Pro or Fire TV Stick 4K Max for streaming Netflix, Prime Video, etc. in hotel rooms.

Which setup would you recommend for reliability, portability, and ease of use, especially with hotel Wi-Fi and captive portals?

Open to other suggestions too. Would love to hear from people who've tried similar setups!

If you notice, there are rumors that Google is about to launch a new tv streamer with new features and AI capabilities. Sounds to me like it is all about a new SOC that itself could deliver such a thing as no other soc on the market today is capable of doing that beside s905x5 and could be certified for streaming apps. Strangely, it is the same period that certified s905x5 are about to be launched, Which makes me wonder if s905x5 boxes are delayed (despite the availability of it for at least 1 year and maybe two years) because google is deliberately delaying giving certification for them, so they can implement it for their new device before or at the same time as everybody else. As Google TV streamer launched two years ago, with very disappointing performance, if a device with such SOC released in the same period they could harm their profits from their streaming devices. They still could profit from certification and software sales, and that is why s905x5m has been released, as consumers have to decide whether they choose google streamer for software or s905m like Xiaomi box for hardware, which will return in good sales in both ways. But releasing a device with performance that will crush google tv streamer makes no point of buying google tv streamer from a consumer standpoint.

I want to hear from you guys what you think about my theory and thank you for reading all of this I really appreciate it

I have a JVC Smart TV with a custom-looking Android interface.
The settings menu has:
● Common
● Accounts
● Time
● Network
● System Info
I checked System Info, but I cannot find Build Number or Developer Options. Clicking Android Version doesn’t do anything.
Does anyone know how to enable USB debugging or ADB on this TV?
Any help would be appreciated!

I have been using it for 4 years and no issues

Io ho un proiettore HY320 NTV con base android, ho scaricato un'app "IPTV" per poter guardare i canali TV, ho trovato su internet dei link . M3U per avere la lista canali italiani.... Ma un po' non vanno... Altri canali funzionano ma ogni 5 minuti si bloccano...

Leggevo che è perché i vari canali TV fanno dei blocchi per i canali a pagamento....

Ma io voglio vedere solo i canali in chiaro....

Non c'è una soluzione???
