Sonos Android TV Streaming Box? Hanging Onto Vintage Gear | You Asked Ep. 54

[@devonmccarroll6509]

Thanks Chris and Caleb for these videos!

[@gerardwiesel559]

If you want more speed- buy a ethernet to USB adapter and plug it into your USB port on your TV. That's what I do on my Sony TV and get over 300 Mbs which is our max download for our service. Gerry

[@siracusa]

I came here to say the same thing. Caleb, you should mention this if the topic ever comes up again.

[@michael-4k4000]

Or just run really fast with a blu ray disc from one place to another?

[@Lacking_something]

Is the adaptor powered in some way? Is there a recommended make/model? Also what is the TV's usb port meant to be for? Or what would the expected use case be? I have a Samsung laser TV and can't imagine what a usb socket would otherwise be used for. Thanks!

[@gerardwiesel559]

@@Lacking_something No external power for adapter. The USB port is providing power. Mine is from "Cable Matters" and bought off Amazon..

After a series of bad experiences with Sonos One, I can't trust Sonos with something like a TV box, which requires strong third-party app support and integration. In fact, I'm done with Sonos.

3:01 This is me. I can't believe TVs still have 10/100. Nothing but buffering from my plex. My workaround is USB to Ethernet adapter that gets me about 300+mbps. No more buffering from my Plex. The only thing though is it may have killed 1 out of my 2 USB ports. It suddenly stopped working but the other port is working. Please be our spokesperson and push for the change needed!

[@rickbrick6689]

definitely many sony tv owners would benefit with higher speed ethernet port on TV for streaming bravia core. The Pure Stream feature requires an Internet speed of at least 43 Mbps. To enjoy at the highest speed of 80 Mbps, you need an Internet speed of 115 Mbps or faster.

[@unextro]

Exactly. Plus connecting an external box is not an alternative since the Sony Pictures Core service works only on Sony hardware. Also, for example Sony A95L has notorious stability issues with external USB ethernet adapters, even after the recent update which finally brings the multiview functionality that was promised since the TV's announcement.

Hi hi Chris, Caleb, thanks a lot for all your efforts, you're one of the few channels I trust to give us genuinely zero commercial bias (we all have our own personal bias such as our opinion on what makes a good tv or monitor and that's fine) also, I know its kind of childish and I turn 40 this year, I am also very aware these segments are called You Ask but the segment name in Caleb's accent never fails to make this Australian chuckle "Welcome to this episode of You Ass" lol, always cheers me up.

[@TheFrugalAudiophile]

Caleb, I feel the same way as you about my old gear. There are a few pieces that I do plan to hang on to for a long time. However, with many of them, I want others to enjoy what I was able to enjoy so I pass them along to friends and family. Have I ever regretted doing this and not holding onto something? Well, maybe, but the joy I see in others using it more than makes up for that.

[@AustinPS97]

A nice short You Asked episode this week. I haven't seen the rumor of Sonos making an Android TV set top box either until this video, and I think launching new products is the last thing Sonos should be thinking about right now. Especially with the issues with the app that haven't been fixed yet. Lastly, shoutout to CHRIS for the work they've done behind the scenes. Keep up the great work!

[@subsonicbass]

Agreed on the 100Mb Ethernet ports, I have pretty elite WiFi and still prefer Ethernet for the stability and peace of mind. Whenever something glitches or buffers AT ALL, I have to go into full detective mode and it’s tiring… I already do that 40+ a week, I just wanna chill and watch my TV lol

[@chrisad1177]

I think the Google TV Streamer might be the best we get this year. Would love a refreshed Shield or one from Sonos, but seems like only Google and Onn are keeping retail Google/Android TV streaming devices alive.

[@skawteo]

Caleb, maybe i misunderstood, but i was thinking the Sonos box was a streamer/hub/decoder. It would essentially route the various channel out put to assigned Sonos speakers. It would enable using any Sonos speaker for any channel.

[@bryanwarner561]

Hey Caleb, I solved that "need" for a gigabit port on my 2021 Sony 75" XJ95 by using the USB 3.1 port and a $7 USB to LAN dongle. Get consistent gigabit speeds on my television. Problem solved.

[@jkranz100]

Thanks, Chris!

[@cloker375]

Music Video - sync'd across house - that would be putting Sonos to video. Even all content sync'd. With streaming and you have multiple TVs in multiple rooms it is difficult to get and keep them in snyc. Was not an issue in the old cable tv days. Sonos brought music sync to rooms - if they could do the same for video it would be huge.

[@chriskelly1740]

I owned some of the best Pioneer and Pioneer Elite universal players, including a DV-58AV from 2007, BDP-23FD and BDP-320 from 2009, and BDP-52FD from 2011. As much as I regret parting with them, once I got into 4K UHD Blu-ray, they were just sitting there. In order to upgrade from a plasma to a Dolby Vision compatible TV, I knew I had to sell them so I could afford the new TV sooner. The only thing I'm wondering is whether or not I could have gotten more money for them if I had listed them in dedicated places other than Ebay auctions.

[@Carittech]

Thanks Chris, the hard work and detail is much appreciated.

[@stevenmcneely1466]

You can get an Ethernet to USB adapter for your TV's USB port that will give you triple the transfer rate of the TV's Ethernet port.

Re Vintage Hi-Fi gear from the 70/80's as a retired A/V tech i can at last indulge in my hobby of refurbishing the better samples of the H-Fi boom era. The very best receivers in full working condition now attract hefty price tags, even the better mid range models are no longer cheap to buy. If you have any sitting in storage, don't just leave them to just gather dust, either have them serviced or sell them, where there's dust there's money. I am a bit biased, but to my ears they sound way better than today's unrepairable gear that relies on custom i/c's that are not easy to find or replace that give a wall of sound that quickly becomes tiring to listen to.

[@user-cm3wd5hk1p]

I run my system through a Bluesound Node for ARC and use my Sansui Eight for sound. Love it! Sounds way better than my old Yamaha AVR. I do miss having surround sound at times but if I ever add that it might be by using a Schiit Syn or having a AVR for music/tv only that is located remotely.

[@MichaelsHomeCooking]

You can always get a stand alone box for faster tv internet. But buffering is not because of a slow connection on your end, it's from the source.

[@tjCooper88]

That's not strictly true is it. It can be your end causing the buffering, slow internet speed or hardware limitations.

[@Steve30x]

It can be caused by slow chipset , slow storage and slow ethernet / WiFi on the TV.

[@pekboycentral]

Thanks Chris for your awesome work.

[@Gerrit-g5c]

Whether A Sonos streaming Box is adding something to what is already existing is for me depending on the functionality it offers. If the box should support - the usual video streaming services - the current music streaming services they support in their current platform - a media player functionality for local content - all HDR formats, DTS and Immersive Dolby Atmos - last but not least and most important more configuration options with their current product line of speaker systems. As it is today only the Arc and Beam 2 support Dolby Atmos which can be extended with a pair of rears and subwoofers. To me that's a limitation. If the streaming box also would act as a Sonos Dolby Atmos compliant hub supporting/allowing more speaker configurations it would be very interesting to me. I would like to build a configuration with 4 or 5 ERA 300 and 2 x Gen 3 subwoofers. I expect it would give me a more immersive audio and home cinema experience compared to a configuration with the ARC, were the ARC is a serious limitation to achieve that. The ERA 300 outperforms the ARC on this expect. As far as I know Sonos is the only third party able to stream and Apple Music in Dolby Atmos. Such a configuration as I mentioned would support for me two relevant use cases: 1. Home cinema playback and streaming with Dolby Atmos. 2. Music streaming with the possibility for Dolby Atmos Spatial Audio. This controlled with one Sonos app (assuming Sonos will repair the current issues) would very comfortable. Currently I stream Apple Music spatial audio via an Apple TV 4 to my Dolby Atmos compliant Homecinema receiver with B&W 8 series speakers and 2 Rell subs. That sounds ok, but the user interface controlling the Apple with an iPhone without switching on a TV is rather clumsy. Amazing how a 3 trillion-dollar company is still not able to build a seamless interface/app to support a logical use case for (spatial) music playback. I had the opportunity to have a Sonos system with an Arc, 2 ERA 300 and 2 Gen 3 subs sitting for 2 months next to my traditional system. To my surprise the Sonos system with the ERA 300 outperformed my traditional system on Homecinema surround. The surround soundstage is much more immersive and powerful. The ERA 300's are the differentiator, they deliver a strong performance on this aspect. The Arc on its own with Subs is not that impressive and is just a soundbar with its limitations. On Music playback it's just the other way around. In that case the B&W's with the Rell's deliver a much stronger, more detailed and more musical/open soundstage. On the low end also the GEN 3 deliver a solid performance and came very close to the Rell's. I am looking now for a system that's less intrusive into the living of our new house. Because for me this is now the main disadvantage of having traditional Homecinema system. This is the reason I am wondering how a complete set up with 4 or 5 ERA 300 and 2 Gen 3 subs controlled by a supporting hub/box would perform and could replace my current traditional system with out to many sacrifices.

[@Alessandro20090313]

I think we are all waiting for a shield tv pro refresh, I’m waiting to for it’s release, apple fan boy here but the Apple TV for 3rd party apps suck, you said it right apple focuses on what they could get in there benefits, when ever the new shield tv pro comes out with its updated codecs and hdmi 2.1 support it’s going to be every streaming box worst nightmare

[@mikeo5282]

[@moyangwang]

Is Sonos rumored "streaming box" actually an HT-A9 style control box that allows TV sounds to be sent to the box, then wireless transmitted to Sonos speakers? If true that would be a very interesting concept. One such box plus 4x Era 300 plus one or more Sonos sub will be an awesome Dolby Atmos home theater combo, potentially much better than the current "ultimate surround set" based on Arc.

Still using the original NVIDIA Shield 2015. Both the "pro" version with the hard drive, and the "regular" version, "because it doesn't." I've actually got two of each. NO plans whatsoever of moving to anything else. Then again, I'm not doing anything with those "new technologies" that these don't support. Caleb and Digital Trends videos look just fine through them. And if you're watching KZbin videos on TV sets, I recommend nothing but Android TV, or Google TV if you must. Having alternatives to the "official" apps make a WHOPPING difference for the better.

Just finished watching this video & your comments re vintage electronics reminded me of some vintage Sansui SP-5000 speakers I got from a friend’s brother after the friend passed away.

[@markwalsh2709]

Great video. Get ready with your TLDR's. I don't think tv's need physical NIC's at all. WIFI 6E and 7 are more than enough right now and as you mentioned, streaming boxes provide a fairly inexpensive solution to a limited NIC setup. The person needing 1gb or more, is probably an enthusiast that already has strong wifi or a streaming device. As for Sonos, I'm a huge fan, but I'm not sure who they are listening too. I have to imagine that they are listening to people that don't buy Sonos and most likely never will. You know, the person that is on their second or third set of Airpods that will tell Sonos to make headphones, but when Sonos does, they buy the next Airpod. I bought the Sonos Ace, not really because I thought they were better than the competitors, but because I'm into the Sonos ecosystem and I like Sonos. The catch is though, the Sonos Ace doesn't really add to the Sonos ecosystem, it's just a Bluetooth headset on par with bose, sony and airpods, whose only trick is that it can swap the sound playing on a Sonos soundbar to play on the Ace, but it is a swap, and cannot play both on the soundbar and Ace at the same time. Sonos should be listening to people that own multiple pieces of Sonos gear. We are their best advertisers. I have 17 pieces of gear in my Sonos ecosystem, and I will continue to expand or replace pieces, especially as the Mayht technology gets integrated into the system. The two things I'm looking for from Sonos, is a higher end soundbar, which might just be the Arc, with Mayht drivers. Then it would be nice to have something that is like a whole home preamplifier or a receiver that replaces my receiver, which could incorporate a streamer, but we don't need a separate streamer. As it is now, I have a $1500 receiver and a port that combines my theater with my whole home setup. I'd rather just have a Sonos command center that replaced my receiver/port.

[@evilnillaz]

I don't really care if my sets specifically have a gig NIC card or not, but I personally wouldn't purchase a set that didn't have a physical network port at all. It's admittedly niche, but this is invaluable for IP control in automation systems and display calibration.

I don't know if Nvidia is going to make another Shield. I think the ones we have only happened because they were making the chips for Nintendo anyway. If there's a new Nvidia based Wii, then yeah, could happen. Otherwise the expense of developing a new chip wouldn't be worth it. Though on the other hand they are going to make processors for Windows notebooks, soooo... perhaps? But they would be way overpowered for a Shield... Perhaps we'll see something in 2025.

Apple TV with Ethernet is my answer to the question. Your media will never surpass 1Gbps, so a LAN better than that isn’t necessary. But a LAN connection can never be trumped by WiFi when it comes to latency.

[@shanewillbur1325]

Incorrect. Many NAS units come standard with 2.5, 5gbe or 10gbe ports. So do moderns Gaming routers. High speed access to media on your own storage unit feels like accessing from an SSD.

[@EugeneM-LawrenceRingrose]

All TV manufacturers must have 8GB of RAM and 512GB of Internal Storage with a Gigabit port for their TV's that cost from $1,000 USD and up. Nowadays it is practical to use platforms like GFORCE NOW, XBOX GAME PASS without having to use a console or a streaming devices, hopefully by 2025 net TV's models came withbthos specs The growth of these platforms for games without tje need of XBOX or PlayStation is the present and future.

1gb is a great idea but for 99% of people it's pointless. The only people who will argue it are PLEX or nas users but I guarantee they'll run in to buffering due to slow SOC or low RAM before hitting anything close to 150mbps let alone 1gb. Only thing in a android box for sonos is the data collection to sell usage of the app and phone data. A lot of money in that if they partner with a box maker and slap there own badge on it.

I just find the cost difference is literally none ..no one is making or using 10/100 ethernet ports in devices mor so over the last 7 yrs more so even knock off streaming boxes. With Manufacturers like Samsung, Hisense and even Amazon TVs partnering with Nvidia and or Microsoft to implement GeForce Now / Xbox one would think where even the wireless isnt the greatest when it comes to promoting gaming with streaming one would think having the 100/1000 would be not only the forefront but crucial to the marketing I mean it's the company's that are choosing to have Operating systems on there like Google TV which uses these promoted Apps ..outside of their own basic TV interfaces so why not use all the tools ?

[@BruceRichwineJr]

SONOS making a streaming box would be a huge strategic mistake. SONOS making a premium Android box wouldn’t sell well when competing directly with an Apple TV. There is a reason why NVIDIA hasn’t made another Shield. It’s not a high volume item that sells and with iPhones being the dominant player in the US it wouldn’t make sense to make a high end Android box. Taking the iPhone out of the equation most are just happy with their $20-$50 streaming devices or built in apps on their TV.

[@hamsterbrigade]

I would absolutely be interested in a premium Android box, either that or a chromecast option on Apple TV. Right now I'm in no man's land. As for NVIDIA making a new shield...i think its way more about them directing their focus to the Ai thing that's making them so much money its not even funny. They also walked away from game streaming.

[@BruceRichwineJr]

@@hamsterbrigade there definitely would be an interest from a small minority, but we all know that a SONOS built box will come at a premium that would be hard to justify. You would lose functionality with their already said devices, specifically AirPlay. Google assistant on their speakers has gradually gotten worse over time too. Amazon Alexa is the only thing that gives full support of all your products on SONOS speakers and that isn’t saying much by how bad it’s gotten either.

[@Steve30x]

They're all the same. They integrate a android os , web os and Ryzen is etc into their TVs but the chip set running the os is way too underpowered and don't have enough ram , not enough storage and slow emmc storage which also slows things down. I've had android os TVs and web os TVs. I find that web os is slower and a lot more laggy than android / Google TV os TVs. I've always had to buy an external box to use streaming services and watch video files.
