    Am I the only one disappointed with the crippled AndroidTV Google Play store?

    Posted: 08 Feb 2020 08:41 PM PST

    Compared to the smartphone version, the Play store in AndroidTV seems to be crippled by a lot to me.

    Whats especially annoying is that I cannot manually search for software updates. This is such a basic function, but I guess we have to live without it...

    I am on Sony, by the way.

    Can you get rid of Sony's bloatware?

    Posted: 08 Feb 2020 06:07 PM PST

    I own a 2017 or 2018 4K Sony Bravia Android TV. It's packed with bloat and junk, like Sony Selects and ads. Is there any way these things can be removed?

    Extend disk space

    Posted: 09 Feb 2020 03:51 AM PST

    I have a Mi Box S, with AndroidTV 9.

    I plugged a 1TB USB external drive. When prompted, I allowed to format the disk to be used by AndroidTV.

    Now, how do I know that it worked, and what does it mean?

    Using a file explorer, I no longer see my external drive, I only see "Local". But how do I know if I really have 1TB now instead of 5GB?

    Is only one specific directory mounted in the external drive? If so which one?

    Using the app "AIDA64", I still see 5GB under "internal storage".

    EDIT: It seems to be "working" since I've just tried to upload (I use the ftp server app) large movie files to the Movies folder and it did not complain. Still I'm not comfortable with the "vodoo" aspect of this. Where are my files? How do I know if something is in the external drive or the internal drive?

    Does your TV playing this YouTube video in HDR?

    Posted: 09 Feb 2020 05:21 AM PST

    https://youtu.be/LXb3EKWsInQ

    My Toshiba won't play it as HDR and Toshiba support asking me show them short video / photos of other TVs playing it and recognize it as HDR so they can troubleshoot my TV issue.

    My model u7950 per Toshiba official support it must be able properly play HdR10, HdR10+, HLG and Dolby Vision.

    Thank you!

    Equalizer or sound enhancing app for Android TV

    Posted: 09 Feb 2020 05:13 AM PST

    Hi there, I have Philips 55pus7303 hooked up to the sony 6.1 home theater system. I want to enhance the sound further with a 3rd party eq app or an app like dolby that you can find on some android devices. I've fiddled with the TV's built in eq setting but didn't get the results I wanted. Does anyone know or use this kind of software which will be always running on the background processes sound continously?

    How to use voice to text on keyboard?

    Posted: 08 Feb 2020 03:37 PM PST

    Got an xiaomi box s and certain applications require you to use the standard Google keyboard out of the box to search for stuff without the option of using the microphone. How do you use the microphone for voice to text to search for stuff on apps? The only use it has so far is Google assistant

    Which 2019 Shield to buy for a Sony Bravia 2017 model?

    Posted: 08 Feb 2020 10:22 AM PST

    I have a Sony Bravia KD85XE8596 from 2017. You've heard it all before, it's slow, inflexible, UI is sluggish etc.

    I already have a 2017 Shield in my bedroom which I think is brilliant.

    I've resisted pulling the trigger on a second Shield to use with my Bravia for a while but I'm now starting to think that I shouldn't have to accept and put up with this subpar performance from my television. Visually it's a great TV but the performance of ATV on it is, as we know, utter pants.

    I've been looking around on Reddit for weeks in here and in r/ShieldTV and r/Bravia for advice on this but haven't quite found what I'm looking for.

    My question is:

    Which Shield TV should I buy for my Bravia? The tube or the pro?

    To give you an idea of my needs, I use:

    Plex for home network streaming, sometimes in 4K Netflix Prime Video Sports streaming apps A VPN app

    However, with a Shield I would likely also use game streaming apps such as Nvidia's own or Steam to play my PC games on my living room TV).

    That's more or less about it. Perhaps that's why I've managed to get by so far. It seems like the 2019 Pro version is a no-brainer for only £50 more, but I'm wondering if it's overkill and if I'd be unnecessarily wasting money when the tube would be more than capable for fulfilling my requirements.

    Of course, feel free to tell me if for any reason I'm being silly and should in fact, stick with the Bravia as it is.

    Need to get it right this time

    Posted: 08 Feb 2020 06:08 PM PST

    Hello! So earlier today I returned my Mi Box S on amazon for a full refund. So I now have another chance to get a good Android TV Box. I know about the Nvidia Shields, and I'm definitely going to take a look at them, but is there really anything else? I don't want an off brand one. If anyone has a good experience with other certified boxes, please LMK. I live in the US so preferably one that's sold somewhere like Amazon. Thanks a lot!
