Hi All,
Is it possible to download the Android TV app and install it on a standard Android box?
Also iv noticed apps such as 'IGN for android TV' view differently and more conveniently in TV mode rather unlike the phone version of the app. So the IGN android TV app displays everything neatly for TV mode but the phone version has a very different layout. Is it possible to install android TV apps on standard android box or switch the viewing mode? Im trying to get the Android TV mode experience on a standard box. Does anyone know how to do this please?
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks.

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.

Sir, this is the specs of the TV
Android Version: 6.0
Software Version: V1.0.5
Model 40PFT5883/71
UI: Philips One UX
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

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.
