Digital Tv Tuner?

Anyone know if this is possible?
Basically I want to watch live tv on my xoom. I want to pull the signal straight from the airwaves and not use 3g or wifi etc. Anyone know any device that would do this for me? Basically something I could just plug-in and be able to watch live tv?

First, you'll need a tuner (mini PCI-E or USB) Then you'll need drivers to use that tuner, possible that a major tuner mfg could write them but then Google or a dev will need to build them into a distro. Finally, you need an app that can interpret the data received from the tuner.
The likelihood of all of these things coming together is unlikely due to the small market for such a tuner. I, personally, would love it.

TV on Xoom
I realize this is not the config you are looking for, but I purchased a DVR like box called a Vulkano made by Monsoon and basically it goes between your TV and the Cable box (and to your router). It then provides a feed to an app for android (free and/or paid) and tt literally controls your cable box remotely, and you can watch live TV, your saved shows, setup recordings, record to your device, etc.
I've tested on my Evo, Xoom, and A7, which all work.
However, the recent update to 3.1 caused the Xoom version to not work anymore, but the developers said a fix is coming soon.
While I was on 3.0 the HD channels on the Xoom were F-ing sweet!
The box was about $150, but there are multiple versions, and I bought this on a whim hoping it would just do DVR type functions, but went well beyond that.
I've run it over wifi, 3g, and tethered to 3g, and all have worked very well.
Again, maybe not the config you want, but this is nothing short of AWESOME!!

isnt that kind of like "slingbox" and how did you get it to work with 3g?

TV on Xoom
Pretty much exactly like Slingbox (I think, never used it), just cheaper and they have a free App for Android and Apple. There's a paid App version, but didn't bother since the freebie worked good for me. I use it on my Evo and eLocity A7 all the time via 3g and/or Tether. And until the HC 3.1 update I was able to use it on my Xoom via 3g. If you get a good signal or go wifi it will stream in HD, and looks killer on the Xoom. But alas, the developer needs to update it for HC 3.1, impatiently waiting for that!
Also I found that if you record thru the App, it stores it locally on whatever device you are using. I often use it on my PC, and then save it to my NAS drive for remote access later.
Like I said before, I was trying this out as a maybe option, and was totally stoked at what I got for $150, I think the slingbox doesn't quite do all this, and costs like twice as much for the Pro, and you still have to pay $25 for their App.
There is also 6 versions of the hardware to fit your budget and needs.

here you go, pick a channel and watch.

nice find. Not exactly what I was looking for.
I am looking for a dtv tuner that connects to the xoom. If anyone figures this out please post.

They had talked about a version of the Samsung Moment that would do this, not sure if it ever came state side or not. But that could take care of the tuner software side, then you would need a device and a driver, I remember having a winTV device at one point in time that worked in ubuntu with out any extra work...so there's definitely linux support for the type of device.

Live T.V
hey if there is any developers out there .. could you possibly try to get this to work for Xoom? I use to have an archos, and I was able to put live t.v on it .. but the system was modified for it, using URUKDROID.. I'm just wondering if we can just extract the drivers and use the T.V app that comes with this installation???

Theres a blank header inside my UK3G Xoom, I'd love to get TV on the go, either by sticking a card in or perhaps hardwiring something to a USB header inside the device?

this?

I'd love to get comments from anyone who has one on android.

pctv broadway 2T wifi and internet, great quality dvb

I own an old dreambox 500. It can stream live satelite signal . Also videos,mp3, remote pvr.etc. it didnt cost me more than 60 dlls. Ita not illegal if you put your smart tv card in this reciever. I can watch my tv since android 2.1 via stream and my xoom can run them without delay. Im trying to buy a dm800 or dm500hd i hear the stream is much smooth

Anyone know of a case with a keyboard that works with the Fire?

hi i've been looking for a while now and ive found a few 7' tablet cases with keyboards and was wondering if anyone has tried one with the kindle fire.

It's highly unlikely right now.
The chip set in the Kindle apparently supports Bluetooth, but Amazon chose to not enable it. There are talented devs at work to enable it, but nothing so far.

Bump
I am not the most tech savy person out there, but is there no other portable external keyboard that would be compatible with the KF that is not necessarily Bluetooth. I started school, and love using my KF for simple note taking, but i can only swype so fast lol, and would love to use it for faster and longer note taking.
Any suggestions or ideas would be great!

At the moment, no. The only options for keyboards are bluetooth and usb, neither of which are currently available on the KF.
You will either have to wait for a ROM that can support it (thus rooting and flashing your KF) or wait and see if Amazon will release an OTA which enables the support.

Get a stylus and use it on a journal type app? That's what I'm doing at the moment. Then I go home and type it all out on Evernote since it's a bit sloppy. I'm actually going to give Quill a try next week which supports Evernote too.

I dont know why amazon would have bluetooth and the other stuff that ppl would use disabled.
I think it only hurts the sell of the KF if you ask me, haha I wouldnt have the one I have if my wife wouldnt have gotten it.

It's unfortunate that this isn't possible yet, it's something I would really like to see.

so there isn't any keyboards that work over wifi that could work? That's kinds what I was thinking. I know its possible because I got a app that uses one aneroid device to control another over wifi.

Yes, there are apps that use a computer to do the same thing. HOWEVER, there is no such thing as a dedicated wifi enabled keyboard. Why? Because the speeds wouldn't be fast enough for daily usage. It'd be like using dialup, except that instead for webpages taking a minute to load up, it'll be all your keystrokes.
Wifi connections are good for home sharing files/music/video, but not for something that should only take .0000000000001 milliseconds. Lol.
Which is why Bluetooth and USB are the mainly used interface. They're faster, they are not dependent on your router, and are far easier to plug & play.

A little bump but is there anyway this thing can help?

Can I plug it in with a bluetooth usb, usb keyboard or 3g usb or whatever using the same thing?
I know the other tablets can do this but Im not sure kindle's roms support it

You cant use that cable, Kindle Fire doesn't support USB host. Developers are trying to make ICS work fully and neither bluetooth or USB host are priority to them.

Not yet.

Bumped into a RIM guy with a playbook. He was testing out a bluetooth enabled keyboard and showed it to me. Very nice.

Dasaita head unit for Mitsubishi outlander 2017

So i have Dasaita unit for Outlander, Android 8.0 PX5 8-core, 4gb Ram, 32Gb Rom, 8"
My question is does anyone else have managed to some how change car settings throw this device, settings, like light, wipers sensitivity, door locks, folding mirrors etc.? Or is there any other option-throw ODB2? Those settings are available in original unit.
And my second question is, can I adjust rear camera guidelines, because lines what i have with factory camera to dasaita unit are off. Have gone throw all reversing settings and no options found. In the settings there are option to see also active guidelines but it is always curved to one side and not moving as i turn my wheel.
Thanks!

I haven't done this myself, I am actually looking at installing a similar device in my outlander y14, but I understand with a OBD2 Bluetooth device and the mitsubishi Phev app installed on the head unit you can access the car functions... I'm not sure the mitsu app works on android 9 though.

No unfortunately not. But what I noticed is that I'm having Control settings app on my head unit and it have exactly the needed settings in it, problem is that those are greyed out or when touching only sound will heard but can not change anything. The app itself is coming from CAN bus. I didn't install it myself. I have choose canbus nr. 57 for Outlander, if I change it to 111 (another canbus for Mitsubishi) then the app disappears. So there is something that looks promising, but it does not work. Might be that it needs some more steps to do in Factory settings (in canbus and under other), there are some type0,1,2,3 that can be changed. Tested those also, but changing under other type 3 it messed up my screen, it was in vertical, managed to fix it with attached mouse and keyboard.

I managed to fix it. Long story short, they are executing the operation but they are not refreshing the Status of the command. You need to move the image to make a refresh. After you quit the app, the executed commands remain, but no feedback.

I will try it, how You move image, holding and moving? I could not change slide buttons or add some tick to any checkbox.

Yep, press and hold the screen, move up or down the image untill the settings changed disappear, and the bring it back.

P.S. my canbus is MT SS 07 and I am runing the latest firmware on the unit.

Android 11 factory images for nVidia Shield Android TV _was_ available from nVidia developer portal

Found it over at Reddit:
https://www.reddit.com/r/ShieldAndr...ld_experience_upgrade_900_android_11_recovery
But as of writing, they're now taken down:
https://developer.nvidia.com/gameworksdownload#?cl=date,-1
Good indication that Android 11 is close though.

Anyone tried flashing it yet? One will not loose widevine or other proprietory stuff when unlocking and relocking the bootloader?
Edit: Based on what I find, seems widewine level returns when relocking the bootloader. I don't have any reasons big enough for me to risk anything, so I'll wait for OTA.

Super slow though, don't know if you can download the actual ZIP. And how do you verify checksum? Would be a risk of bricking the device.
So best chance is probably ask others for mirrors, or wait for actual official release.

Flashed it, and so far things are looking good. The NAS delay (****ty NAS that spins the drives down) on loading anything seems to cause black screens and out of sync audio in the second try, but it settles down after a third try when the NAS spins the disks back.
CEC features started to work for me, which they never did before (that is Samsung's horrible implementation on their TV's), was shocked when the TV remote started working on the shield, but than i've just lost it randomly again.
Can't say i have more to report to be honest.

@PlutoDelic
Have you observed any difference in playing HEVC video? I've had problems when playing HEVC from Plex for instance, when pausing, waiting until screensaver shows up, and unpausing video, the picture is frozen some seconds ahead of time, and starts moving again when audio/ timeline gets there. Been like this for long. Would be nice if Android 11 solved it. Seems to happen for people using other media servers as well, like emby.

Hard to say, i have that issue with all files and usually blame the slow NAS disk.

@PlutoDelic
I tried remuxing a MKV that was made with MKVToolNix v55 to current version v64. And voila, the freezing issues were gone. So might actually be container related.

anyone with samsung tv's, i'm in the same boat but i have pioneer receiver between shield and tv, maybe that's the solution. for me CEC was working from 6.x firmware upto 9.0.0, now i'm restored on 8.2.2. never had the smallest glitch on cec (well, for me cec is start/stop the device and volume control, but as i pointed, volume is receiver or source==shield or xbox or vuplus duo 4k or whatever i connect to pioneer vsx-930k)

Question Android TV app weirdness or glitch

Hi everyone.
I'm faced with difficulties when I run Android TV remote control app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.tv.remote) on my P6Pro. It appeared to behave like an obsolete app abandoned by its developer - it never opens fullscreen.

I really don't care about that and could live with it as the app works like it should until I leave it foreground and turn off the screen. As soon as I turn my screen back on my phone hangs up and there is no possibility to get to home screen or go back. It happens from time to time, not every time I use it. Power button just turns the screen on/off and my only option is to press power+volume up buttons to reboot the phone.
I remember I was able to adjust full screen behavior for my apps in the previous versions of Android somewhere in settings. Now that option has gone in A12.
Any ideas?

I don't have an Android TV, but I just wanted to let you know your link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.tv.remote doesn't work for me.

checked, the link works for me. Anyway I mean this app

Weird. Google must have it blocked unless you actually own one. On both the phone (Wi-Fi and Mobile Data) and the computer the link doesn't work and I can't find that app listed when I search for it by name.
Anyway, I know it's not relevant (I guess), just weird.

Another glitch? Unfortunately not the last one.

BTW, I just tried to open that link in chrome incognito mode
What's going on, Google? Is the app account-specific? Is it not available for everybody?

I just realized what the problem is. The app is really abandoned and it's obvious from my 2nd screen.
"Last updated April 4, 2017"
The reason I like it is an ability to enter login/pass details on my Android TV using my phone screen. This is the feature I was envious of iPhone users for its native integration into Apple TV.
Ok, RIP.
My only options are to get used to manual reboots or Force Stop the app after each use.

My understanding is that "Android TV Remote" is actually obsolete, and its functionality has been incorporated into "Google Home": https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.chromecast.app

The standalone Android TV Remote app has been decommissioned by Google. The functionality has been moved to the Google Home app and is available as a Quick Settings tile

Not a glitch. Stop spreading misinformation. This is a perfect example of why half the complaints on this forum are bogus.

It is a frustrating change though in the very least, because who needs all the bloat of "home" when all you want is a remote control?
Anyway, I just ordered a couple of ADT-3's, which is the "developer" version of ccgtv. I'm tired of being locked out, and I don't give a flying f*** about netturds. Years ago I wrote a remote service for nexus player, which shouldn't be too hard to adapt to ADT-3.

Well, from Google's perspective, it is logical to have it as part of the Google Home app. Android TV/Chromecast is part of the Google Home (devices) ecosystem.
That being said, if you don't want to use the Google Home app, there is an alternative

Thanks, I know there are several alternatives by other developers but I always do my best to go google Just figured out how to enable Open Remote button in Google Home app at 3 different android tv boxes I own - Shield Pro, Onn TV and Dynalink TV. I had to manually update Android TV Remote Service to v.5.
Now I've got almost the same features, at least I can still enter text remotely on my phone.
