driller2000:

+1 for don't rely on your smart TV for "smarts" over the long term.


(Android TV perhaps being an exception as apps will endure beyond the life of the TV OS).


I likewise have a Shield and Mi Box ($90NZD) and only recently installed Matt Huismans Kodi Addons and they really are very good. ie. All NZ and Aus channels via IPTV - incl an EPG.


AND NZ OnDemand Addons.


AND LightBox, Fanpass and hopefully soon a SkyGo Addon.


Highly recommended.


 


Oh yeah and as both of these streamers are AndroidTV based you can do a truck load more.


 


 



Heads up, the sky go addon for sports only is up now and working

This weekend I decided to install the ThreeNow app on a Sony A1 Android TV. 

 

What a piece of crap. I tried to login five times. I am pretty sure password was correct as I tried on the laptop in front of the TV, Just to make sure I changed the password and tried again a few times and couldn't login.

 

At the end I just told parents-in-law to use the Freeview On Deman app instead.
