    Considering an Android TV box, will it do what I need?

    Posted: 13 Jan 2020 02:22 AM PST

    Hi all

    Looking to get an Android TV box. The requirements I have are as follows

    Netflix, Amazon prime, BBC iPlayer and web based video playback.

    Would any android box do this?

    A bonus would be if I could control the box using my (android) phone instead of yet another remote control!

    Tips and recommended products appreciated

    Edit - budget is about £50-60!

    Edit 2- iPlayer not essential, must be able to play browser videos and be controlled by my phone..

    Is FireTV an alternative to AndroidTV?

    Posted: 13 Jan 2020 04:44 AM PST

    Hi,

    I own an Android box and quite happy with it. I would like to ask this for my personal knowledge. As I understood, the Chromecast device does not have a UI, it is push and stream device.

    Is FireTV similar to Android box with a UI, apps and other features or more like Chromecast without a UI? Are Android apps supported on FireTV?

    sorry to post it here but I would like to hear the perspective of Android TV owners. Thanks

    Is it possible to port MiTV ROM to LeTV?

    Posted: 13 Jan 2020 04:34 AM PST

    Just asking because I have been frustrated with this TV.

    It was promised to give unlimited supply of movies and series, HDR support and stuff, Updates will give Mic Support and regular updates and all. I paid a bunch to get this. However after a few months the company shut down and there are no updates at all.

    Just some roms available here and there which crash. And once you go on the Rom you can't go back to latest official build. All the apps like Netflix and Youtube and Amazon Prime work on some old version which repeatedly asks for updates.

    Even if I wanted to sell this thing it is impossible as no one will buy it.

    I wanted to ask if there is anyone who can port the MiTV ROM for LeSuper TV x53?

    Connecting an external speaker to a Smart TV

    Posted: 12 Jan 2020 06:28 PM PST

    I maybe in the wrong sub but r/Philips is like a ghost town so I'm trying it here and hoping to get help.

    I have the ff. devices: Philips 40PFT5883 Smart TV Pioneer HTC-121DVD Home Theatre

    I wanted to connect the 2 so that I can output the sound on Philips to the Pioneer. The Philips supports HDMI ARC but Pioneer only has HDMI with no ARC labeling so I guess it doesn't support it.

    I'm planning to use a 3.5mm jack to RCA male cable to connect the 2, will that work? I'll be buying the cable so I can't test it out. Any other better way to connect the 2? Basically, making the Pioneer a speaker system for the Philips.

    TIA!

    my mibox s only play NetFlix HD Video

    Posted: 12 Jan 2020 07:18 PM PST

    My Mibox s connected to ViewSonic VX2780-4K-HD-3 can only recognize 720P videos by default, and it can be set to 4K in the settings, but all videos in netflix only have the HD logo. I asked the manufacturer, and this monitor supports HDMI2.0 and HDCP2.2, I can't figure out why can't play Netflix 4K

    Considering switching from a MAC MINI to AndroidTV. Help?

    Posted: 12 Jan 2020 07:58 AM PST

    For the last 10 years I've using a MAC MINI as my entertainment system and I am considering replacing it with AndroidTV or a generic Android box. I primarily use my MINI to download, share, and stream content (mostly torrent) from an external NAS through KODI (securely with NordVPN). I'm also starting to dabble with IPTV providers.

    I understand an Android box will allow me to setup IPTV or use streaming apps like Netflix or Youtube etc - but how much flexibility do they provide? For example, can I easily map an external NAS to an Android box and access my stored content? Can I torrent (dl and seed) from an Android box? Can I use VPN?

    How much power do I really need? NVIDIA seems to be the recommended solution but I need something a little cheaper. I was considering a Mi Box S but am concerned about the 2 GB RAM - for this reason I was also considering the Beelink GT King for the extra RAM but it's not official AndroidTV.

    I'd appreciate any guidance to give me the confidence to move forward!

    Mi TV Box as DLNA media server

    Posted: 12 Jan 2020 12:34 PM PST

    I recently come across mi tv box s and I am wondering couple of things.

    Current Media server is Windows based PC with uTorrent, Sonarr, Radar and Emby server. I am wondering if MI TV Box can fully replace PC configuration only for Media server, streaming to webOS tv.

    I think it should work with external usb3.x hdd; sonar and radar and uTorrent, maybe a remote access too?

    Want to know mi tv 4s vs sony bravia basic vs samsung ru7100

    Posted: 12 Jan 2020 11:44 AM PST

    Hi. My old sony bravia basic 39 inch (2016 model, full hd) is broken. Now i m in market to buy a new tv. My choices are:

    1. Mi tv 4s 43 inchs. ( can anyone say wxact model nber if global version?)

    2. Samsung ru7100 43 inch. ( VA pannel vs xiaomi's ips pannel. I checked in store, the samsung's viewing angel is not good.)

    I don't have the option to check mi tv in store as i should buy it online only. Some reviewers say the sound quality is worse vs sony or smsung. How much is it right?

    Mi tv is cheaper than samsung one. And i should buy them all without warranty.

    Thanks.
