    Using Google TV in South Africa

    Posted: 31 Jan 2021 05:58 AM PST

    I picked up a Google Chromecast with Google TV to test how the Google TV service would work in South Africa. Here is what I found out ...

    Video Tours:

    Notes about using Google TV outside of the USA:

    • Using a non USA google account with Google TV will limit you to only the apps you can get in the country google store you are using
    • Adding a US google account to the Google TV will give you access to USA apps like Hulu
    • Recommendations and Genre grouping (the real star of Google TV) will only work in the USA or if you fake your location as USA using a VPN. Even if a VPN does auto connect at boot, it seems that the Google TV home screen needs a relaunch after booting up to kick in the updated location of the VPN. I do this by quickly opening any app and immediately pressing the home button

    Notes about Google TV and how it works:

    • Without a VPN to fake the location of the device to USA, there is no Google TV recommendations of grouped genres display on the home screen, instead rows of content based on the app the content is in shows up on the home screen. Very similar to how Android TV currently works, except that the big round app icon is not on the left of the row
    • When Google TV recommendations / genre grouping is not being used, and app rows are used instead, the order of the app rows cannot be customized / re-ordered manually
    • Google TV does not have an app drawer and all installed apps are listed on the homescreen, and once more than 12 apps are installed, a "see all" tile pops up at the end of the "Your Apps" row
    • "Play Movies & TV" is dropped as an app and is instead directly integrated as an app row (if you using outside of USA) or as a recommendation / genre groupings (if you using inside USA or using a VPN to fake the location as USA)
    • "Play Store" is dropped as an app and is instead directly integrated in to the Apps tab of the launcher
    • Some content do not fill up the homescreen tile properly (like Plex and Youtube)
    • The library tab is a section that shows items added to the Google watchlist and any purchased content.
    • The settings app has a complete overall compared to Android TV
    • When ambient mode plays, it is now an interactive slideshow that can be actioned to move between photos rather than as an overlay screen that dies when any button on the remote is pressed, like it used to be in Android TV
    • Pressing the back button on the remote when on the home screen, will start the ambient mode

    Xiaomi Mi TV Stick — is really 1GB RAM enough?

    Posted: 31 Jan 2021 05:24 AM PST

    Hi everyone! I recently bought two Xiaomi Mi TV Sticks, one for our living room and one for a friend of ours. We mainly use them for video streaming (like IPTV and YouTube). I took a look at the spec sheet and saw that it only has 1GB RAM. Is that really enough for smooth playback? We won't do multitasking really, but is like going through menus, launching apps and playing back live TV smooth on it? Only one application will be in memory.

    Oh by the way, if I go to developer settings and set it to "No background apps", would that help?

    I don't have the sticks yet, so that's why I'm asking you guys.

    How to connect Bluetooth headphone without repairing every time?

    Posted: 31 Jan 2021 04:52 AM PST

    I have an android TV box which i don't know the manufacture as it is a rented device for the streaming company

    So the manufacture of the device removed the option to manually connect to a BT device, and the device has to manually connect to the box automatically which almost never happens. so to pair them i have to unpair them and pair them like a new device. this is so annoying. I didn't find any app that have a good BT interface to pair devices.

    ​

    Please Help

    NAS or simular when TV dosen't support steaming, help

    Posted: 31 Jan 2021 01:50 AM PST

    I have a Philips 55US8303 and the manual says that it doesnt support streaming.

    So i'm assuming that my only option if i want to show photos and video on the tv is to connect a USB device. But that seems kind of annoying if i want to add new files to the USB device and have to disconnect/ reconnect it everytime. Which is what i'm currently doing.

    Could i use a NAS or something simular that is accessible from my home network to make it easier to upload files and can be accessed by the TV via USB?

    Or is there a better way to do this?

    No Dolby Atmos from Netflix

    Posted: 30 Jan 2021 06:20 PM PST

    TV: Sony KD65X750H AV Receiver: Yamaha RXV-6A 5.1.2 speaker layout (The tops are wired into 'Front Presence' )

    Hope someone here can help me out... I think everything is set up properly... I get Dolby Atmos out of my Roku which is wired through the Receiver and I also get it from the HBO Max app on my tv. The Netflix help forum says all Sony Bravia TVs after 2018 have Atmos support and I have the highest tier of Netflix (I get 4K UHD) so I am not exactly sure what I am missing here.

    P.S. The TV is connected to AV via ARC

    Thanks in advance

    Freeview apps not launching?

    Posted: 30 Jan 2021 04:52 PM PST

    Just received an ACL Android TV as a gift. I've been trying to launch the All Four and BBC iPlayer apps for a while now and it doesn't seem to be working. I just keep getting a FreeViewPlay error message saying I need to agree to Terms and Conditions, however when I try to select the Terms and Conditions button below it won't let me and kicks me out of the app. I'm in the Republic of Ireland so I'm wondering could these be country locked features? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks :)

    Touchscreen Android TV

    Posted: 30 Jan 2021 02:49 PM PST

    Does anyone know if it's possible to install touchscreen "drivers" onto an AndroidTV box? I am wanting to use a little capacitive touch screen connected to a Mi-box 4k (not 's'). The screen I've tried has an HDMI in, which works fine for display, but the USB output from the touchscreen is not recognised for control of the interface (normal keyboards and mice work) I've used a Sony Android TV with an IR touch overlay which controls the interface (so I know it's theoretically possible with the right build and hardware), and the touch screen itself works fine (plug and play) with a windows PC. One thought I had was if a resistive screen might work better? (I don't know if they appear more 'mouse-like' to the operating system??) - not something I can currently test. Anyway, any genius workarounds appreciated!😉

    Bluetooth To TCL Android TV Error

    Posted: 30 Jan 2021 11:20 AM PST

    Hey all.

    So I moved into a new (and my first) apartment and got an Android TV.

    I sorta messed up and tossed away the T.V. remote tho with the trash without realizing.

    Anyways. I'm without a remote, so I'm trying to setup the T.V. through Bluetooth on my Pixel and on a laptop, and for both devices I keep coming across the same error message saying "the pin is incorrect". But it is, indeed, very much correct.

    T.V. recognises my phone, sends me correct Bluetooth pin, trys to connect to phone, then disconnects because it thinks it never got the right pin.

    Anyone else experience similar issues, or have any advice? Thanks.

    Posted: 30 Jan 2021 02:00 PM PST

    Hi, I'm looking for a box that can reliably play hi10p encodes (10-bit h264) and other bothersome codecs for anime watching.

    Any idea which box might work?
