One of the best upgrades I've done to my TiVo Stream 4k is connect a portable keyboard/touchpad. As Craig says, using a remote to type in keys is very clunky. Also, the touchpad helps me with side loaded apps that don't work well with a remote.

Android tv play store should have the ability to rate an app or even write a review to let the app developer know whats wrong with it and help improve it...

Do you know of a way to get multiview on sony android tv? Or any other sorta app that would let me use my ps5 and watch tv at the same time on my sony tv. Thanks

Great video. I am here for the storage space suggestions. I have the Sony X900H and the storage is only 4GB. Do you have a video how I can add storage so I can continue to add apps? Right now I get an error message that won't allow me to add more apps because I am out of space-WTH 😡

ssd drive?

I have an NVIDIA Shield TV Pro and a TiVo Stream 4K. I didn't have any issues getting a DualShock 4 to pair with the NVIDIA Shield TV Pro, but I can't for the life of me get one to pair with the Tivo Stream 4K. Does anyone here with a TiVo Stream 4K have any tips on getting a DualShock 4 to pair, assuming you needed to do anything outside of the norm?

Hey Craig, Just wanted to know what TV are you using on this video and what system is running on? (Roku,fire TV, etc.)

I've got a TiVo Stream 4K plugged into my 2019 TCL Roku TV.

My tv doesn’t have the security and restrictions option?

[@stevenmaggi7942]

Tip #2 should be installing downloader and then filelinked.

[@robertfletcher]

There are so many way to sideload apps. My preferred method is to use a NAS that I can access from a file manager on Android TV and my computer, so I can download an apk using my computer to the NAS folder and then access the apk from the file manager on the Android TV.

I have a part time job and my grandparents told me I have to buy all my games stuff so I was wondering if any cloud gaming services supported android TV thanks!

0:03 No my Android TV Box isn't great and I'm returning it after using for two months (it was provided by my ISP for a monthly charge along with 100 GB extra data). But I'm planning to buy a new more powerful one preferably without a crap skin over the stock Android TV.

For anybody just getting into Android TV in 2022+ Don't get a third party 'Android Remote TV' app on your (Android) phone, The legit 'Google TV' app has a remote built in. :)

Andriod Home screen is pathetic, especially now with the forced advertising on the upper left screen (not shown in this video).
