Android TV - Demo - Part 1

Android TV - Demo - Part 1








A demo on an android tv box as sold by various Chinese manufactures (flexiview.tv) and also Kogan in the UK and Australia. I have a unpacking video as well so you can see the unit and controller. The box is connected to a 32" Sony Bravia, hard wired ethernet over a 10mpbs cable broadband connection. The box also has Wifi but I wasn't using it. BBC iPlayer app never loads and shows as per the demo but it does work via the web browser. Its not very smooth even when in full screen mode. Games play pretty well, Reckless Racing suits the android tv wii style controller quite well. Media playback from was a USB 2 external HDD with a fast Samsung 16mb cache 7200rpm drive. Other than SD the unit cannot play mkv well or any HD material even though it is advertised as being able to do so. I tried many other clips and films, the example in the demo are typical.
Video Rating: 5 / 5

Is there any TV Remote Control app for android phones?

cell phones use different tech than tv remotes.
there may be an app for your cable provider for their service which works thru the web, you need to check your provider's web site for htis tho.I do have a Android 2.2 Phone (Model - Huawei Ideos U8150D),
I remember that a few years ago, I saw the advertisement by Nokia, that we could control our TV by Nokia 6600, and the other similar phones.

I wonder, I have a smartphone, which is much powerful than that Nokia 6600, but still I didn't find any TV Remote app for android.
