    Sony TV suddenly requesting DHCP every 40 seconds when off and 10 minutes when on.

    Posted: 03 Apr 2021 06:11 AM PDT

    Something changed on my X930 Sony Bravia TV as of March 31 or April 1st. It is now requesting a new IP address every 40 seconds when the TV is off and every 10 minutes when it's on. When it requests a new IP address it opens a bunch of connections to servers out on the Internet and sometimes it will turn on my audio receiver. Basically though the TV is never going to sleep.

    In the past I've seen it do this when the TV is off, but never while the TV is on and never at this frequency. It has always stopped when the TV is on and usually stopped when the TV was off after a day or two.

    I've tried pulling the plug, but that made no difference. The only change I can see is that one of the Google apps updated on March 31 so I wonder if that's the cause.

    At this point though the TV has over 100 active connections to Google's servers.

    Microsoft Xbox Series X Gamepad + Nvidia GeForce Now on Android TV

    Posted: 03 Apr 2021 06:30 AM PDT

    Hello, I plan to purchase a gamepad to use with my Sony Android TV.

    According to Sony, Gamepads are not officially supported but may work https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00119200

    Does anyone have any experience with using Microsoft Xbox Series X Wireless Controller or any other controller with Sony Android TV via Bluetooth and GeForce Now?

    my Android TV had the latest version downloaded and was enjoying the new look for a couple hours....

    Posted: 02 Apr 2021 10:12 PM PDT

    ... and it suddenly disappeared and reverted to the old look. I'm currently back on Android 9 and says it's up to date.

    I'm so confused.

    Shield TV still worth it?

    Posted: 03 Apr 2021 10:25 AM PDT

    I'm in the need of a new TV box. I currently have a Roku, but I don't like the direction they are headed. I always wanted a shield TV, but I'm wondering what its future is with google TV now available. I want something I can run emulators on as well as streaming services.

    Mi TV STICK Revival

    Mi TV STICK Revival

    With january 2021 firmware update, i could revive mi mi TV stick unusable since previous update.

    First, i will reveal that the way i revived it confirmed my suspissions : the previous firmware had bad thermal management or was pushing the hardware out of thermal bound.

    First difficulty was to update with thermal issue.

    To bypass this issue:

    1. i removed the cover to expose the heatsink (like in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrPR-LJpE4w)
    2. i cooled the device by putting to contact with heatsink a freeze block
    3. After successfull boot, i reset the device
    4. i made first confuguration in order to allow update
    5. after reboot, i made the update

    Now my device is working reliably

    Activate screensaver

    Posted: 02 Apr 2021 09:28 PM PDT

    Is it possible to activate screensaver on the remote on android tv? We just upgraded to Sony which has android tv. On our old tv we used chrome cast (with Google tv) and you could press the back button twice to activate it..

    Mi box 3 freezing fix after android 9 update.

    Mi Box 3 freezing solution after wake up.

    Hello everyone. Still having issues from the android 9 update with your mi box 3 freezing video after turning it on while away. Well I have to since Christmas and it's been bugging me. So I've been playing and figured out an easy work around to keep it working and 4 days later still works. Not perfect fix but a fix. Turn off sleep mode. 😴
    Directions...
    -Top right of Home Screen go to settings. -Scroll down to device preferences. -Scroll down to screen saver. -Scroll to put device to sleep. -Click on never. Now go ahead and back out to your Home Screen and it should work just fine. Good luck. Hope this helps.
