Hi.
Anyone managed to pause and/or record live TV on a TCL? I installed the channels app and it found all the channels from my TV but no sound or schedule so I can't pick anything.
I have a 32ES560
Ta
not managed it. I wish it was easy just to just record your screen at any moment. And unfortunately there isnt a major dev scene for TCL custom roms to toally unlock our beast of a tv. I have a older TCL C2. works a treat.
Another channel application
Hello!
You have to try another channel application and it may be better.I have 40" Smart Android LED Tcl 40ES560 and I am pretty satisfied.Here you can find some application:

Hello guys! We just bought this Philips TV and was not aware it is using this Saphi OS instead of the Android OS we usually find on Android TVs. I have some questions about this TV.
1.) Any users of the OS that have find several key apps that works well with the TV? (e.g. Netflix, Youtube and other useful apps)
2.) Do you know if this OS was just recently implemented and hopefully get better even if it is intended for entry level TVs? The firmware on my TV was made on June 2019 even if it is just built on Android 6.0.
There's no option on exchanging the TV and since most users are not tech savvy, I'm focused more on using it to its full potential.
Same Prob
Same here. We just bought the same tv yesterday and we were told it was an android tv. Netflix was installed manually from a usb flashdrive and youtube. Youtube was working but Im having an error in the Netflix.
I hope there's a fix on this. The TV is great, but we need netflix.

Saphi OS to Android TV would be amazing. I'd rather pay for development of such cfw/rom then buying extra device like Chromecast/TV box. Saphi OS is very non user friendly, video player is powerful but with very limited options with subtitles (no load option), apps are limited and few.
40fpt5883 complete Android solution available

Hello sir can you help me for my TV unit 40PFT5883/71 badly needed sofware update sir...
Is there any replacement for the Fire TV Edition integrated Live-TV app? Handling channels there is a chore, and the program guide (EPG) is mediocre at best.
I'm especially interested in having a way to import/export the channel list so that I can edit it on a computer.
If desired I can add more details on the hardware and software used.
Some people seem to of got the Google Live Channels app working, but it wouldn't work on my Cube 2 (Fire OS 7), might be worth trying on Fire OS 6, Android version is too low to use on Fire OS 5.
This is the tutorial I saw with it for 4k stick: https://youtu.be/YV-iCa_T6dE
Hello all,

Hi,
I need some assistance if anyone has managed to or if it’s possible updating this or similar TVs (Philips hospitality tv 55HFL5011T/12).
by default the tv is running I think Android lollipop and the User interface is not like smart TVs, not able to download new apps because no google play etc, is there a way to add google play to download new apps or update to another android version so the user interface looks like smart tv
appreciate any help
Hi,
proposal: install latest firmware + use an HDMI stick with Android TV.
