Oh by the way, you'll know a Sony Android Smart TV as the TV - at least in Australia anyway - has something like "Sony Android Smart TV" advertised/stamped on it. On 17/02/2016 4:15 PM, Mary Otten wrote: I'm on a very high traffic android list, and there has lately been discussion of

Great Pun Mary, enjoyed it . I don't want to sound difficult but I'd rather not mention a price given the Australian Dollar is very low compared to the U.S. dollar and also for the fact that their may be far more Android TV'S available in the U.S. than in Australia - in fact I'm very sure of

I'm on a very high traffic android list, and there has lately been discussion of android tv boxes, but not an actual tv set, on that list. People have had issues making certain services that are not directly from google, such as Netflix, work at all with talkback. Devices discussed include the

BT Keyboard support has nothing whatever to do with BT Speakers . You can of course connect an AirPlay device to the Apple TV right out of the box, you don’t even need to have the Apple TV connected to an existing Home Network. > On 17 Feb 2016, at 9:13 AM, Stephanie Mitchell

As far as I’m concerned the Apple Forth Generation TV means absolutely nothing whatever to me any longer now that I’ve decided to get my Sony Android Smart TV and I’m very glad I did the more I read about the Apple TV. I do appreciate of course that a Sony Android Smart TV won’t be for everyone

If you haven't tried broadcasting I would say that there are a lot of internet radio stations out there. Some of them are really good. The rest, in my opinion, mediocre. The reason I'm telling you this is because some of these stations will actualy train you while others just give you time on

Hi Mary. Funny you should mention the speech dropout issue as I recently ran into this myself but not with the Apple TV. It was with a mini pc that I had connected to an HDMI port on my receiver. It was really annoying and totally ruined the whole experience of using the PC. Like you, the problem

Hello Randy: To start up a radio station is not that difficult, most people use either Shoutcast or Icecast as the software generating the stream. You would choose whether to contract a streaming service or do it yourself in your own dedicated or PVS server. To be a DJ with pre-recorded talk

mary, with the new apple tv you can use the hdmi and if connected to a surround sound receiver you do not need to have your tv on. you can just listen to the audio through the receiver. also the problem with voice over cutting out. the software could be corrupted and might need a fresh install

I got the Apple TV 4th gen last week. I had been resisting because the 3rd Gen audio was so poor. I have to say the 4th gen sounds much better. This is based exclusively on my use of the Apple Music service. Maybe it's just down to the better WIFI capacity, I don't know, but the audio sound
