Android TV Boxes

Hell, my fucking $2000 OLED came with a shit processor and only 8GB of storage; it's laggy as fuck and only had room for one more app. Had to remove a bunch of crap via ADB just for the TV to be usable. It's annoying as fuck that even high-end TVs come with the equivalent of a $50 Chinese phone under the hood.

Does anyone know of a box I can plug into the TV that actually has a decent CPU, at least 12GB of RAM, and usable storage space? It also needs to run on Android, and have a HDMI 2.1 port for 4K 120Hz support with HDR. I watch a lot of HFR content and stream PC games so this is a must. The remote should also be able to control the TV (including entering the menu), and the Dolby Atmos receiver too. Last thing I want is for the wife to complain about having to juggle 2 or 3 remotes just to watch Stremio.

You can have cheap or you can have 4k 120Hz with HDR.

Fuck TCL. I bought one of their TVs a few years ago. Within a year the backlights went out. Maybe it was just really bad luck, but it turned me off from their products.

Probably just bad luck, they make some screens for LG and Samsung too. They aren't like a nobody brand

I use this for both regular TV streaming apps, Twitch, YouTube and Jellyfin.

and my non-technical wife both uses it and loves it because it's way faster than your usual built in TV apps.

I picked it up from my local best buy.

Thanks for the suggestion but it doesn't seem to support Dolby Atmos/DTS:X. Just plain 5.1/7.1. I have a 5.1.4 setup.
in reply to Psythik

Use an old computer. Get a Bluetooth keyboard/mouse controller. I have only ever had my TVs run by computer since I the mid 2000s. fuck smart TVs what a shit show.

Old computers don't have HDMI 2.1 support, silly. I'd have to buy a modern GPU, and I don't want to spend hundreds just for a slightly faster interface.
in reply to Psythik

Hmm, well when u get a new card u can toss the old one into another computer.

Or you can use any vid card since 07 with a display port to HDMI 2.1 adapter

Because those 2k TVs would quickly become 2.5k because of the ads sold for promotion.
Or to improve your profit margin
in reply to Troll

I've never understood why it's so hard to re-purpose an old android phone as a TV streaming box. I have an old One Plus that would blow the Nvidia Shield out of the water but as far as I can tell nothing exists that make that possible. It has HDMI via the USB C port but no way to add a remote and use the TV interface.
The ability to sleep when the TVs CEC signal sends a power off command would also be a requirement for me.

Japanese journalist Taku Sukagawa discusses Trump’s plan to establish American control over the Gaza Strip: “[…]it is unacceptable from every angle.” byteseu.com/717364/ #Japan #JapanNews #JapaneseCurrentEventsAndPolitics #JapanesePolitics #News


When asked if the Saudis demand the establishment of a Palestinian state as a condition for recognizing Israel, US President Trump, sitting alongside Israeli PM Netanyahu in the Oval Office, swiftly replied: “No, they’re not.”

The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs respond, stating that its stance on the establishment of a Palestinian state remains “firm and unwavering,” insisting that Riyadh would make no deal with Tel Aviv otherwise.

> Germany was already looking like lost ground for Tesla—its 41 percent drop in 2024 accounted for most of Tesla's lost sales across Europe. That must make the 59 percent drop in German Tesla sales recorded during January even more painful on the profit and loss statements.

@glynmoody Many of us recognize a fascist when they see one. And the fascists don't like EVs anyway...

This color-infrared image shows sand #dunes in Melas Chasma, located within the Valles Marineris canyon system.

The dark-blue and purple colors indicate coarse-grained sands that are comprised of basalt, an iron and magnesium-rich volcanic rock that formed from cooled lava millions of years ago when volcanism was an active process on #Mars.

Migrating sand dunes often lead to the erosion and excavation of underlying material.
