What are the advantages of an Android set-top box over other systems?
To access various streaming services such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, or HBO Max on TV, you need an Android set-top box that allows you to connect to the internet with your existing TV set. These indoor units use the Android operating system. This allows you to access a wide range of apps and services. The only ones you can't access are Apple TV and the AppStore, which run on iOS.
What are the uses of an Android set-top box?
Originally, these set-top boxes were used for satellite and cable TV because they offered more channels than most terrestrial broadcasting systems. Today, android set-top boxes allow us to play, learn and listen to music through them. How is this possible? By running on the Android operating system, these OTT indoor units can be used as Android-based minicomputers, giving you access to everything you need. For example, the browser, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Gmail and all the major streaming services.
What display resolution and video quality does your android set-top box support?
Before you buy your Android set-top box, it's important to know what resolution you want to watch the different types of content. You may have a TV that can only display 1920 x 1080 pixels, for example, which is fine for traditional TV, but you may not be able to watch 4K content. When buying an Android indoor unit, take the following into account. For HD Ready resolution, you'll need 1366 x 768 pixels. For Full HD resolution, you need 1920 x 1080 pixels. For 4K Ultra HD resolution, you need 3840 x 2160 pixels. And for 8K, you'll need 7680 x 4320 pixels.
Do you need a monthly fee or subscription to use an Android set-top box?
No, no subscription is required to use the android set-top box. You do need Internet, which may have a monthly fee, and various streaming providers charge a monthly fee to download videos, watch movies or listen to music.
How do you install and update apps on your Android set-top box?
You simply download the apps as if you were using your phone. You can even control your home OTT indoor unit with voice commands using Google Assistant. Since this set-top box uses the Android operating system, these TV smart TVs don't lack Google Chromecast, which is a great help for both content sharing and smart TV integration.
How easy is it to set up and use an Android set-top box?
Turn off the TV and connect the device to the TV with an HDMI cable. Connect the power cable of the android set-top box to the network and switch on the remote control. Select the language you want to use and connect the TV to Wi-Fi. Then sign in to your Google account. There you can search for games, apps and movies. You can also listen to music via the Google Play Music app, for example.
Is it possible to subscribe to streaming services directly through your Android set-top box?
Nowadays, many set-top boxes are capable of two-way communication, which allows us to take advantage of a number of interactive features, including the direct addition of premium channels.
