| Android TV upgrade for an old Italian CRT TV (CGE 12" B/W) Posted: 14 Nov 2021 01:00 PM PST Hello everyone, I am from Italy. I've got an old CGE 12" B/W TV that I'm quite attached to because it has been with me since my childhood, I find it has a great design (even better than Algol's in my opinion) and, most of all, it has been drawn by my grandfather who worked as a technical designer at CGE back then. When the UHF switch-off took place in Italy in 2011 I bought a DVB-T decoder with a UHF modulator in it. Now, since DVB-T switch-off is coming soon as well, I wanted to attempt something bolder to keep it working. As far as I know my TV has been produced in the early 70s, it has no video input and has two 300ohms antenna inputs with proprietary socket (UHF and VHF). Many years ago my grandfather had built a 75ohm coaxial adaptor with splitter for using the roof antenna, using his company's materials. Unfortunately that adaptor is in very bad conditions: its proprietary pre-wired connectors have the tendency to fall apart: luckily I found a couple of those for replacement at home and I used one for this project. I thought to use the space for batteries (yes, it used to run on 12V batteries as well) for sticking in an Android TV box and an UHF modulator. My idea was using the integrated modulator from my DVB-T decoder, which is going to become useless soon and is very tiny too. I wasn't able to find any schematics of it but a very generic one that I used to identify audio, video and 5V power inputs. Unfortunately I couldn't get the modulator working by those inputs alone, since it requires a couple more contacts (with some 3V between them) that might be necessary for tuning or something else that I ignore. So this required to use the whole logic board from my decoder, and its power supply as well, with huge space privation. To be honest I found some modulators for sale, but this is a low budget project so I'd better arrange it with what I already have. I wanted to use my decoder's native SCART inputs for audio and video but it wasn't possible because it required RGB signal and I only had composite one (standard AV): so I had to separate contacts between the modulator and the logic board for using them as I wanted to. Unfortunately most of the space was gone for the modulator and the power supply, and very few was left for the actual Android TV: I chose an unbranded HDMI stick that I had to combine with one of those cheap horrible HDMI2AV converters. For the UHF signal I found for sale some odd 300ohm-75ohm converters that, once tried, in two words, just work. For connecting my modulator to the HDMI2AV I used one of those "DIY" contacts with screws at one side and a female 3.5mm (2p+g) jack at the other, which I connected a 3.5mm-RCA cable to. I had to use one connector only for audio because my modulator is mono and my TV has actually one central speaker only. I hope to solve this problem software-side. Talking about power, luckily my decoder's power supply had a 5V output as well, so I was able to connect to it both the Android TV and the HDMI2AV. I connected the power supply directly to TV's 220V line (after the power switch) because it was easy, and also because in this way I would avoid any interference that I might get if connecting to TV's 12V line and using a DC/DC step-down to get 5V. It was definitely not easy to stick everything into the battery slot but in the end I managed, and the result is working. I'm not sure why, but the signal came way too bright on the screen, maybe because of the HDMI2AV converter, but I solved the problem with an app for adjusting brightness. I have to find a way to run it at boot. I installed VLC and my national broadcaster's IPTV app and I am so happy with the result that I wanted to share it with you. Total project cost: 40€, 30€ for the Android TV stick and 10€ for cables, converters and adaptors. I still have to do software-side: - mono audio: my Android TV seems not to have the mono audio option, so I can only listen to one channel so far, even if it's not a problem for most of applications; - brigthness adjustment: I only found an app that actually works (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bluelightfilter&hl=it&gl=US): the issue here is that it can't start on boot so I have to manually start it and enable the option, and it is a little tricky; - manual DNS setting: on static IP settings I can't modify DNS configuration to AdGuard DNS (it doesn't memorize it when I change it) so I have to use a third party app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.frostnerd.dnschanger&hl=it&gl=US) that I have to start manually like above; - changing boot animation: I can't find those files I need to replace that any online guide I found talks about (/system/media/bootanimation.zip). I hope I haven't get you bored with my post. In case, I haven't done it on purpose. Here you'll find some pictures of the project: https://imgur.com/a/EZYIO4k [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 14 Nov 2021 06:10 PM PST How do you remove Google Photos access from Android TV? Pictures taken from my phone and sync with my google photos acct can be easily accessed by saying "show me my photo" or typing "photos" with the remote. My acct is signed into 4 TVs in my house and all of my pictures are not appropriate for kids or guest. Its kinda weird that Ambient display allows you to select specific folders but my main camera roll is available to anyone that ask [link] [comments] | ||
| Sony Bravia Ethernet connection. Posted: 14 Nov 2021 10:31 AM PST Hi! I have a problem. I play a lot by streaming services with my tv. I play via GeForce now and Xbox xcloud and whenever i try to play by the cable not by wifi I have even worse experience... I tried with different cables already and nothing helped I think it is something wrong with my Ethernet module. For example on GeForce Now from time to time is losing like 10 fps and my game freeze for a second with Xbox cloud is even worse because it loosing connection every 2-5 minutes. By 5G wifi it go much better. I have 100mbps internet I read that using cable i will have less problem with streaming than wifi but it's opposite. Does someone have a similar problem? Or a solution? Best regards Edit: i fixed some mistakes with vocabulary and grammar [link] [comments] | ||
| Is there any way to keep an app from closing when in background? Posted: 14 Nov 2021 03:32 PM PST I have a Mi Tv Box and i only use the Kodi and youtube apps, but due to the way my Kodi app is setup(using Trakt scrapper and Plex as a backbone) it takes quite a while between opening the app and being able to use it, i would like to make it so it is always open, even when i open other apps, is that possible? On normal android i can keep an app frim closing when it is in the background task, but i couldnt find a similar option on android tv [link] [comments] | ||

Any apps what get recommended will be appreciated [link] [comments] | ||

| Posted: 14 Nov 2021 12:07 PM PST Hi! I've just purchased a Mi box S TV box. I've been using an old desktop pc as a media player for my room for ages and now I notice that with this box when I watch a movie for example the audio in the dialogues has a very different volume than the other sounds. I find myself having to adjust the volume constantly because when actors stop taking, the movie sounds really loud. Is there a way to correct this? This is really annoying and I'm actually considering returning the box if I there is no fix for this 🥺 I don't know if this is relevant but I connected the TV box to my 2.1 speakers via de 3.5 mm jack and it's the only way I can use external speakers (the TV's ones really suck) Thank you!

| Posted: 14 Nov 2021 11:51 AM PST I keep getting errors when trying to sign into games on Google TV. I tried signing in with Google on Pac Man 256, and get the message saying "Something went wrong. Sorry, this app is not supported. Please try again later." I had a similar issue with Crossy Road, getting the same message, but somehow was able to sign in. Anyone knows how to fix?

| formuler remote apk on android tv Posted: 14 Nov 2021 08:45 AM PST hi, i am looking for the formuler remote apk i am trying to install it on my android box, tho it is not formuler and the app store wont let me download it, seeing the software is the same there is no reason it should not work, the remote allready works over bluetooth but nothing else, anyone know a workaround to download it? I read about the remote and it is sold as if it would work with any tv this however is sadly not the case. This app: tv.formuler.remoteupgrade.gtv this remote: Formuler GTV-BT1 I was able to find the app online however it wont let me install/ sideload it.i just get an error: app didn't install. guessing the locked it to the formuler boxes. is there a way to modify the apk file to install on any device? Thats just stupid... [link] [comments] | ||
| Does chromecast with Google tv support YouTube 4k hdr content? Posted: 14 Nov 2021 01:53 AM PST So my Nvidia shield 2017 has suffered broken down hdd and now all it does is display Nvidia logo and say quietly little "iiip iiip iiip" when powered up. And now I'm on market for new Android tv box, because frankly the android tv experience in my Philips 55pus7272 is nowhere near the one that shield had. Yeah it does not support 4k hdr on YouTube and neither did shield, but at least shield didn't drop frames like crazy when trying to display anything over 1440p. So now I'm trying to decide between the shield tv and chromecast with Google tv boxes or if I should fork out few extra euros for shield tv pro instead. [link] [comments] | ||
| Problems with remapping Sony KD-55X80J remote buttons Posted: 13 Nov 2021 05:36 PM PST Hi, I have tried to remap the YouTube-Button with the ButtonMapper app but in this process three of the four dedicated streaming buttons seem to send the same signal to the TV. On their own (without the app) the buttons work as intended and each open their corresponding streaming service but if I try to remap either of the YouTube, Disney+ or Amazon-Prime-Buttons they open all the same app that I set and register as Key 196 in ButtonMapper. The Netflix-Button is working as intended and registers as another Key as it should. Is there something I can do? Edit: The three Buttons register as https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/KeyEvent#KEYCODE_BUTTON_9 Here are the inputs as read per adb:

| VPNs don't work on my Android TV! Posted: 13 Nov 2021 05:03 PM PST One of the reasons I got an Android TV was so I could use VPNs on them. Tried 2 prominent VPNs. Both initially establish a connection, then within 5 seconds the TV reports Ethernet Connection is lost. I tried disconnecting and reconnecting the ethernet cord. No luck. Have you guys been able to get these apps to work on Android TV? It's a Hisense U6G if that makes a difference. No problems using ethernet at any other time. Only these VPN apps causing the problems.

| Using phone as mouse on Mi Box S? Posted: 13 Nov 2021 07:13 PM PST Hi, I'm having troubles with finding a working app for my iPhone to use it as a mouse (& keyboard). Best I've found is 'Android TV' but it doesn't really have a mouse, only a touchpad which will not work as a mouse as far as I've noticed. Any suggestions? [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 13 Nov 2021 04:28 PM PST Am currently having issues with my 65 inch Sony where it'll boot up, go to the android screen for about 3-5 seconds, freeze and power down. It then boots itself back up and does the same thing over and over. I've tried unplugging for short amount of time, long amounts of time, I've tried holding power/volume down to factory reset (I get the green light but it doesn't do anything..still is caught in the loop). Is there anything else I can try or is my TV dead? [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 13 Nov 2021 06:11 PM PST I have a ONN 4K TV box running Android TV 10 and it has been working great. The issue recently is that the remote decides to pair and unpair itself constantly. I have tried to pair it through the pairing mode on the box (pressing the button on the front and holding down the home and back buttons on the remote). The issue with that is when it goes to pair, the stages at the bottom flicker from preparing to pairing.Has anyone had this issue as well? If so, what did you do to fix it. I am running the latest firmware for the remote and the lastest update on the box its self. [link] [comments] | ||
| Can I Use My Standard Cable Box for Live TV on my Android TV? Posted: 13 Nov 2021 03:09 PM PST I just got my first smart tv - a Philips with Android TV - but I'm having some trouble setting it up. If I try to set up Live TV with my cable box hooked up with an HDMI cable, it doesn't find any channels. When I do it with the cable plugged directly into the TV, no box involved, it finds a lot of my channels, but not all of them, plus the picture is noticeably not good and the guide doesn't work. I can switch inputs, but it's not very intuitive and requires we have two remotes. What can I do? [link] [comments] | ||
| Vudu won't play any content. Could really se some help! Posted: 13 Nov 2021 12:45 PM PST A few weeks ago, I bought a new TCL tv w/ Google TV (R646). Every time I've tried to watch a title on Vudu I get an error message that says "unable to start playback..." I've been in contact with both Vudu and TCL, and they both have only given me the standard troubleshooting steps (check for update, reinstall app, unplug tv and modem), but still no luck. If anyone has had and fixed this issue or can offer some advice, I'd appreciate the feedback! [link] [comments] |
