    Is there a good ad blocker for Google TV?

    Posted: 31 Mar 2021 05:58 AM PDT

    Normally I don't mind ads, but at least in Canada we have the problem where ads are 100x louder than the actual content. CBC Gem or CTV apps on Google TV are terrible for me to use. They have low volume so I have to raise my TV volume pretty high and then I get blasted with deafening ads whose volume is way higher.

    Right now I've resorted to the high sea's, but I'd rather use the actual apps if I can. Is there an ad blocker for Google TV that will block these loud ads?

    Shield TV Pro and Sony Android TV together causing full TV OS restart

    Posted: 31 Mar 2021 06:51 AM PDT

    I'm having a TV restarting problem ever since setting up my new Shield Pro 2019.

    My setup is:

    Sony X900F with Android 9

    v

    Denon X3500H

    v

    Shield Pro 2019

    CEC is disabled on all three devices. AVR is connected to the TV on the ARC port, but ARC is disabled. The Shield remote is programmed via IR to turn on and off my AVR and TV.

    The situation:

    1. All devices off

    2. Press power button on Shield remote

    3. All three devices turn on (TV to HDMI 3 - ARC, AVR to Shield)

    4. Begin watching content on one of my apps on the Shield

    5. After 3-20 minutes, the TV will completely shut off, turn back on, and begin booting through Android TV

    6. Begin watching content again

    At this point, this happens every time I first watch content on the Shield. This did not happen prior to using the Shield. This does not happen if I do not use the Shield (only turning on the TV and AVR and watching content on the TV's built-in apps).

    I thought this might be a classic CEC issue, so I disabled CEC completely and only have the Shield remote set to power on/off devices via IR. All energy saving modes are off. The TV is set to stand by for 24 hours, but there's less than 24 hours between this happening.

    Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening?

    How to install Android TV 11 on the Raspberry pi4/400

    Mibox S 4K with air mouse wireless remote

    Posted: 30 Mar 2021 11:59 PM PDT

    Hi everyone,

    I had a Mibox S 4K. I just bought a new air mouse remote (G20s pro): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SO27opLRuzU

    This remote has 2 button to learn IR: power button and mute button.

    I got an issue: when I use the Power button of air mouse remote to turn on/off TV (IR), simultaneously, it also shuts off the Mibox S through wireless, and I have to use original remote to turn on Mibox.

    I just want to use air mouse remote to turn on TV without control Mibox.

    Can you have any ways or tricks to do that?

    Thanks in advance.

    Why is my Bluetooth speaker suddenly lagging when connected to my android tv?

    Posted: 30 Mar 2021 09:12 PM PDT

    The model of the Android tv is 4t-c50bk1x Sharp and the Bluetooth speaker is Sharp speaker system cp-st70c2, it's brand new, only 2 days old, and the speaker is a freebie or included with the purchase of the tv,

    The sound is lagging, like it's a wave where there's sound then none then there's sound then none, Sounds like this https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dABuMRGDfPY

    But if i connect the Bluetooth speaker to my phone, the sounds it produced becomes normal...

    How do i fix it?

    Is the TCL TV OS upgradable to Android?

    Posted: 31 Mar 2021 12:43 AM PDT

    I recently picked up a sparingly used 50" 4K TV, TCL (Model No. L50E5800) from an old couple, in hope of streaming 4K content on Netflix. I have a PS4 so the only output it has is FHD1080p. I thought it was a smart TV, but it isn't so smart. It has apps like YouTube, Facebook Lite etc that don't work. The app store looks like its from the 2000s. No Netflix app to download. The whole interface doesn't seem to be running on Android but rather some slow clunky different OS like Linux or something and the software version shows its up to date.. Tried to download some 4K videos to play on the TV via USB but it apparently doesn't support the format(extension) of the file too.

    Any way, is there a way I can upgrade the OS so that I can have the android Play Store or at least a way to side load and stream 4K Netflix on this TV?

    Would you buy the new "REFRESHED" Xiaomi Mi Box S?

    Posted: 30 Mar 2021 03:22 PM PDT

    It has the same OLD SoC, same RAM, same internal storage, though some little things needed a "REFRESH" but it doesn't make any sense these days.

    How many Bluetooth controllers can connect to an Android tv?

    Posted: 30 Mar 2021 06:56 PM PDT

    Hi all,

    I've got a Sony kd759000h (androidtv) and I've been able to connect a ps4 controller to it, to be able to play steamlink games with it.

    I want to connect 1 more to be able to play couch coop games, but can't seem to find any info on having more than one connected. I don't have a secondary controller to test it out, and don't want to fork out the cash if it doesn't work.

    Has anyone had experience with more than 1 Bluetooth connected controller working?

    Similar experiences?

    Sony support were not helpful.

    Updating XBR-75X900F to Google tv ?

    Posted: 30 Mar 2021 05:48 PM PDT

    Is there any way to manually upgrade this model to the new Google tv? I have tried using 'check for updates " and it says it's up to date . Is there a manual way to get the Google Tv instead of the current android tv. This is a 2018 model.

    I am ASTOUNDED at how bad Chromecast + google tv is, need help deciding alternative

    Posted: 30 Mar 2021 04:00 PM PDT

    So, overall i guess it works, but two things irk me enough to make me want to return it tomorrow

    1) the un-hidable ads on the home screen. 70€ to get an ad shown to you as soon as you boot up your tv??? Fuck google, absolutely insulting. Can't get that Disney + shot off my screen no matter how hard I try.

    2) Wow, the account management system is one of the worst ones I've ever seen on any premium device.

    So, I'm definitely returning it tomorrow, and I'm just considering spending half for the mi box s or mi stick, do they resolve these issues?

    Thank you
