what is /g/'s tv box of choice, Is the onn 4k the one to get or is there something better?
The latest Apple TV box. Ludicrously overpowered hardware means you can software-decode anything you throw at it. It's a basically a dumping place for binned iPhone processors with one efficiency core disabled. Android boxes still generally run on ARM Cortex-A55 which is fucking hysterical.
>>106628346my laptop and an hdmi cable
>>106628375>no HDR in any way, shape or formDolby Vision bros... how do we recover?
>>106628374>can't sideload appsit's shit>>106628375>gets mogged by a 10 dollar tv box
>>106628383What sideloaded apps do you need? All you should need is Infuse with any of Jellyfin, Emby or Plex as the server.
>>106628346this but with coreelec manually uprooted to version 21
>>106628374>Android boxes still generally run on ARM Cortex-A55 which is fucking hysterical.that core IP scales incredibly well with die shrinks, no reason to use anything more complex
>>106628391smartube for ad free youtube
>>106628375>invite a girl over to your house>the girl expects to watch some shit on netflix and fuck on the couch>instead you connect your thinkpad to your TV with a HDMI cable and open up your movie folder full of YIFY rips>girls pussy turns into dust
>>106628346Anything with an Amlogic chip set.
>>106628346Still using a roku 2 with roku 3 guts. Has a usb port but i never use it. I use jellyfin.
>>106628407>>invite a girl over to your housethat's where you're wrong
>>106628407I don't invite women to my house. I do run an Emby server for someone so she can watch pirated content on her Samsung TV. I would've used Jellyfin if their app was generally available in the Tizen store.
>>106628346nvidia shield tv pro
>>106628429is playlet the only devmode program worth installing?
>>106628383Just wait until next year buddy google going to rape side loading
>>106628661if they push this retroactively to existing devices i will post angry messages on the internet
>>106628346I was looking into this the other day and I'm going to buy a used xiaomi mi box s to fuck around with. I don't watch any TV but I'll sideload some stuff onto it and give it to my parents. I've always wanted to try it.I was going to buy a used chinese mystery box for a few dollars but I heard they come with malware so I'm going with the cheapest large brand.
>>106628759The one in the op is like $20 iirc
>>106628818I'm not american otherwise I probably would buy that one. They don't sell them in my country unfortunately
>>106628346i thought this was a tv tuner thread imagine my disappointment
>>106628978Oh I gotcha, onn is walmart's brand
>>106628374>Android boxes still generally run on ARM Cortex-A55 which is fucking hysterical.What's fucking hysterical is thinking this is true
>>106628346get one with gig ethernet
>>106628407that pasta is so stale it could turn into dust
>>106629077Not much going on in that space anymore except ATSC 3 drama.
>>106628383you can install yattee what more do you need?
>>106628346HTPC.My old 2500k rig I also double as a home server.
>>106628375Exactly.
>>106628346Shield TV Pro and Apple TV are the only ones worth looking at if you don't want to build a HTPC.
nvidia shield is the best one, it’s the only one running android tv 64-bit if you want to sideload more apps. onn is also a solid choice especially at that price
thoughts on buying a n100 mini pc and installing androidtv x86?
>>106629580don't you have to pay to use androidtv x86?
>>106629580isn’t the latest x86 build still at android TV 9?
>>106629399>>106628375>no dolby atmos>no dolby vision>clunky to use on a tv>no good tv interfaces like android tv>low app selection>no home cec so you can't turn on both the tv and htpc at the same timeit's shit
>>106628407>>106628433>inviting anyone overget out normies

>>106629077>have a few of these running on a tvheadend rig running a core 2 duo a few years back>works>try to use them on my new tvheadend rig on a radxa rock 5c under armbian>refuses to acknowledge themmanaged to get them going before but they're just not budging, maybe it's time for some new tuners
>>106629580Most x86 machines won't have CEC support unless you buy a $50 adaptor
>>106629619there are isos around>>106629630i just need a simple iprv player for the folks. don't care as long it doesn't choke on those crappy iptv fhd live channels. even got a firestick and it's shit.>>106629667i don't mind since the crappy tvbox i got uses its own remote anyway. my mother already is used to turn the tv with one remote and use the other.
what about this one is it any good
>>106629638>never used>never used>i hate little faggot remotes. wireless keyboard + trackball is better>limited to whatever cuck software android has>apps lmao>the pc is running 24/7 anyway as a home server and I just turn the TV off at the powerpointyou're shit
>>106630127>n-no ucope and seethe, htpcs are a meme and they get mogged by 10 dollar tv boxes
>>106628346Roku + All the nasty shit blocked on the router through DNS.
>>106630235>rokulmao
>>106630236Yeah it's a niggerbox full of garbage like your mother
>>106630245niggers but rokus, aryans buy google tv boxes
>>106628346I'm using a 2022 Roku Ultra, mostly out of habit having used Rokus for the last 15 years. My only complaint is the lack of actual Dolby Vision HDR support with Plex.>>106628516I think so. There have been other cool unofficial apps over the years but no others are still around.
