What is <strong>Android</strong> <strong>TV</strong><br />

As we mentioned in the introduction <strong>Android</strong> <strong>TV</strong> is very similar to Apple <strong>TV</strong><br />

however with many additional features.<br />

Basically it is a micro computer running the <strong>Android</strong> platform that provides access<br />

to pretty well everything you can get on your android phone.<br />

It is then delivered through a HDMI cable onto your Television and interaction is<br />

through a Bluetooth remote and in some cases gaming consoles.<br />

With some units you can also add external hard drives with different types of<br />

media so it becomes a full media center.<br />

The interfaces vary however and one of the most popular is XBMC.<br />

As with all <strong>Android</strong> services you can share them between devices so any apps ,<br />

games, music or games you have already bought can be accessed through your<br />

<strong>Android</strong> <strong>TV</strong> Box.<br />

Using an App such as Youtube Hollywood Movies, you can get access to HD Movies<br />

for Free once connected to the Internet via Wifi (Or LAN) and also paid services<br />

like Hulu , Netflix and many others..<br />

<strong>Android</strong> <strong>TV</strong> Gaming<br />

While there are some who consider<br />

mobile gaming a watered-down, casual<br />

affair, the continuing release of<br />

excellent mobile games along a wide<br />

variety of genres is challenging that line<br />

of thinking.<br />

As the mobile gaming market continues<br />

to grow, big publishers and quirky indie<br />

devs continue to rise to the challenge<br />

with a variety of big budget titles, ports<br />

of full PC and console titles, and clever<br />

little gems that utilize the touch screen<br />

and other aspects of a smartphone.<br />

All these can now be accessed on your<br />

<strong>Android</strong> <strong>TV</strong> Consol.<br />

These games have high definition and<br />

are a lot cheaper than traditional<br />

console games.<br />

There are so many brilliant HD games<br />

on the <strong>Android</strong> app market and off the<br />

apps market.<br />

Off course the best thing here is that if<br />

your <strong>Android</strong> mobile is not powerful<br />

enough to play HD games you can now<br />

use your <strong>Android</strong> <strong>TV</strong>.<br />

<strong>Android</strong> gaming is starting to make<br />

gamers look like overly amorous<br />

honeybees in a halvah factory:<br />

The prospects are so sweet that they<br />

might put your teeth at risk. With the<br />

advent of dedicated <strong>Android</strong> gaming<br />

devices such as the Ouya and Project<br />

Shield, <strong>Android</strong> is quickly gaining<br />

respect as a serious gaming platform<br />

alongside consoles and PCs.<br />

It’s true that iOS is providing home to<br />

many new releases to HD games for<br />

iPhone.<br />

But it doesn’t mean that <strong>Android</strong> users<br />

doesn’t have variety of HD Games for<br />

their Smartphone.<br />

There are lots of HD Games for<br />

<strong>Android</strong> which you can download<br />

straight from Google Play and feel the<br />

real experience of High definition<br />

gaming.<br />

And with powerful phones rapidly<br />

becoming ubiquitous, <strong>Android</strong> is beating<br />

the pants off of iOS as a gaming<br />

platform for enthusiasts and nongamers<br />

alike.<br />

In this magazine, we’ll help you stay on<br />

top of evolving <strong>Android</strong> hardware, and<br />

use it to its maximum high-scoring,<br />

social-browbeating, multicore-rendering<br />

potential.<br />

<strong>Android</strong> <strong>TV</strong> Media - Movies<br />

<strong>Android</strong> <strong>TV</strong> gives you a few ways to<br />

access your movies.<br />

Google Play<br />

With most Google Play movie rentals,<br />

you have 30 days from the time of<br />

purchase to start your movie and 24<br />

hours from the time you begin<br />

playback to finish watching (or to watch<br />

as many times as you can!).<br />

All of your recent movie rentals are<br />

displayed in the Google Play Movies<br />

app on your <strong>Android</strong> device. If you've<br />

already begun watching a movie, you'll<br />

see a rental expiration countdown in<br />

red text below the movie poster and<br />

title.<br />

Personal Movies<br />

Unlike the Apple <strong>TV</strong> you can connect a<br />

local external drive via a USB port and<br />

use your <strong>Android</strong> <strong>TV</strong> to import and sort<br />

all of your movie and <strong>TV</strong> show data and<br />

then let you watch it.<br />

Once imported your unit will go and<br />

retrieve all the artwork, actor<br />

information and trailers then deliver it<br />

through a nice easy to use interface.<br />

You need to be connected to the<br />

Internet so it can retrieve the<br />

information.<br />

You can also purchase them and<br />

watch as many times as you want.<br />

You can also get hundreds of free<br />

movies and <strong>TV</strong> shows.<br />

You can also use various Apps to access<br />

other services such as HULU and many<br />

others Like <strong>TV</strong> Series Catch Up,<br />

different country <strong>TV</strong> stations and more.<br />

Put Your<br />

Add<br />

Here<br />

NB: It is important to see the<br />

interface for your android <strong>TV</strong> Box<br />

as not all do this.<br />

When you first start your <strong>Android</strong> <strong>TV</strong><br />

Box you should at least add one source,<br />

like a drive or directory on your device<br />

to get you started.<br />

If you select "Add sources" a dialog<br />

appears, where you may manually<br />

input a path, or browse to a source that<br />

contains media that you would like your<br />

<strong>Android</strong> <strong>TV</strong> box to use and display.<br />

So your <strong>Android</strong> <strong>TV</strong> is a complete media<br />

management system.<br />

<strong>Android</strong> <strong>TV</strong> Units<br />

playing movies and larger games can be a little tricky.<br />

adding your external media. Basic <strong>Android</strong> System $80 to $130<br />

Chromecast<br />

At its press event in San Francisco, Google announced a new device to help bring<br />

content from <strong>Android</strong>, iOS and Chrome devices to <strong>TV</strong> screens, attacking Apple <strong>TV</strong><br />

and Roku in the process.<br />

The device, called "Chromecast," runs<br />

a simplified version of Chrome OS and<br />

connects directly to a <strong>TV</strong> through the<br />

HDMI port; you can then beam the<br />

content of your smartphone directly to<br />

the Chromecast, as long as you are<br />

connected to the same Wi-Fi network.<br />

The device allows users to wirelessly send 1080p content from services like<br />

Pandora, Google Music, YouTube and Netflix from their iOS, <strong>Android</strong> or Chrome<br />

devices to their <strong>TV</strong> screens; other apps will follow, as Google has opened up the<br />

functionality to developers, meaning that any app could hypothetically take<br />

advantage of Chromecast.<br />

Unlike Apple’s Airplay feature, Chromecast doesn’t mirror the device's display,<br />

allowing users to put their device to sleep without interrupting the stream on the<br />

television.<br />

<strong>Android</strong>, iOS and Chrome devices can also be used as remote controls to turn the<br />

<strong>TV</strong> on, raise the volume and add more videos to a streaming queue, all without<br />

interrupting the video stream.<br />

Chromecast is available now through Google Play, Amazon and Best Buy for $35.<br />

Early adopters will be given three months of Netflix service for free (for new and<br />

existing subscribers) with their purchase.<br />

PROS: Extremely inexpensive. Smooth integration with supported apps. Easy to<br />

set up. Useful accessories. Supports multiple Chromecasts on the same network.<br />

CONS: No local media playback. Chrome integration is limited.<br />

BOTTOM LINE: The Google Chromecast is the least expensive way to access<br />

online services on your HD<strong>TV</strong> if you can't do so already, even if more functional,<br />

pricier options are available.<br />

<strong>Android</strong> <strong>TV</strong> vs Apple <strong>TV</strong>2<br />

Apple's is undoubtedly a slick way to watch<br />

<strong>TV</strong> shows and movies on your <strong>TV</strong>, but<br />

you'll have to convert just about<br />

everything you want to play on it.<br />

Unless you pay to rent or buy content from<br />

iTunes, that is.<br />

So it's no wonder that many people are<br />

seeking an alternative which meets their<br />

needs.<br />

The Apple <strong>TV</strong> (even the latest third-generation model, reviewed) can't play MKV<br />

files and you can't plug in a USB flash drive or hard drive full of your own<br />

videos.<br />

Instead, you have to stream them from a computer running iTunes. Heck, it<br />

doesn't even have any catch-up <strong>TV</strong> services such as BBC iPlayer.<br />

The new <strong>Android</strong> <strong>TV</strong> Boxes allow you much greater versatility.<br />

It has almost endless support for video formats. Just about anything you have will<br />

play on the WD<strong>TV</strong> Live, from MKV to ISO and XviD.<br />

Files can be played from local storage via USB, or across your network (there's<br />

both wired and wireless networking built in). The HDMI output means there's Full<br />

HD support.<br />

It can't mirror your iPad's screen as an Apple <strong>TV</strong> 2 or 3 can, but there's a remote<br />

control apps for iOS which is similar to Apple's Remote app.<br />

Another nice feature that the Apple<strong>TV</strong> is currently lacking is a web browser,<br />

whereas Google <strong>TV</strong> has Chrome built-in.<br />

It also boasts a Twitter application for those who want to to tweet from their <strong>TV</strong>,<br />

and it supports flash, something that we can safely rule out of ever officially<br />

appearing on Apple’s device.<br />

Each device has its strengths and excels in individual areas; <strong>Android</strong> <strong>TV</strong> boasts<br />

more content sources and applications, whereas Apple<strong>TV</strong> has a remarkable<br />

operating system and access to the popular iTunes Store. It all boils down to user<br />

experience, and which device will better suit you.<br />

What is Google <strong>TV</strong>?<br />

Google <strong>TV</strong> is an <strong>Android</strong>-based<br />

operating system for smart <strong>TV</strong>s, or<br />

<strong>TV</strong>s that connect to the Internet as well<br />

as to standard set-top devices like DVD<br />

and Blu-ray players or DVRs.<br />

Google <strong>TV</strong> software comes built right<br />

into some <strong>TV</strong>s, but if you don’t want to<br />

buy a new <strong>TV</strong> you can simply buy a<br />

set-top box that plugs right into any<br />

HD<strong>TV</strong> and gives you exactly the same<br />

functionality.<br />

There are no recurring fees and it even<br />

updates itself automatically.<br />

Google <strong>TV</strong> is proprietary software<br />

which is different to <strong>Android</strong> <strong>TV</strong><br />

and has a few limitations.<br />

The idea behind smart <strong>TV</strong>s is that not<br />

only do they allow you to connect to<br />

the Internet, but they allow the <strong>TV</strong> to<br />

add services and suggestions (and yes,<br />

ads) tailored to your preferences.<br />

Google's approach is to create a<br />

platform and allow developers to do<br />

what they will with it.<br />

That may be the right approach, since<br />

content providers and developers don't<br />

have to go to as much effort to get their<br />

content to your <strong>TV</strong>, but it may be the<br />

wrong approach as media companies<br />

try their hardest to hold onto whatever<br />

profit margins they can and squeak out<br />

exclusive deals with compaines like<br />

Microsoft to bring content to their<br />

devices.<br />

That brings up another point about<br />

Google <strong>TV</strong> - game systems.<br />

The Google <strong>TV</strong> system may end up<br />

being more appealing to new users<br />

without game consoles, but the user<br />

interface isn't less intimidating. Google<br />

<strong>TV</strong> apps may cure both problems, both<br />

by adding game appeal and by adding<br />

simplified user interface options.<br />

Smart Television<br />

Given the popularity of smartphones,<br />

such as the iPhone, it's entirely possible<br />

that the concept of a "connected<br />

device" could easily translate to a<br />

television. But what is a smart <strong>TV</strong> and<br />

what does it do?<br />

What does smart <strong>TV</strong> mean?<br />

Like a smartphone, a smart <strong>TV</strong> offers a<br />

number of "internet connected<br />

services" that normal televisions can't<br />

offer.<br />

It has the equivalent of a computer<br />

built into it, giving you a greater<br />

number of services. These televisions<br />

offer apps, media streaming, web<br />

browsing, games and, perhaps most<br />

importantly, Internet Protocol Television<br />

(IP<strong>TV</strong>).<br />

usually available for a few hundred<br />

dollars. Investing in a media player is<br />

also an economical way to bring<br />

streaming content to your home theatre<br />

system.<br />

How do I control the <strong>TV</strong>?<br />

To many people, a "smartphone" means<br />

that it has a touchscreen, but when your<br />

<strong>TV</strong> is six feet away this makes it hard to<br />

"touch".<br />

As a way to get around this,<br />

manufacturers have come up with<br />

several different methods available for<br />

controlling smart <strong>TV</strong>.<br />

You can use many different bluetooth<br />

controllers and pointers.<br />

IP<strong>TV</strong> is a specific type of internet video<br />

standard, but is now also used as<br />

shorthand for any video streamed via<br />

the internet to your <strong>TV</strong>. It can take the<br />

form of short clips or continuous "live"<br />

channels.<br />

While these features aren't new, and<br />

have been a part of some televisions<br />

and set-top boxes since 2005, the term<br />

"smart <strong>TV</strong>" has given them a name.<br />

What if I don't want a new<br />

television?<br />

If you have already bought a flat-panel<br />

<strong>TV</strong> recently, then there is a way to get<br />

the smart <strong>TV</strong> features without having<br />

to buy a whole new television.<br />

Several companies offer set-top boxes<br />

with smart features onboard, and are<br />

p12<br />

Unfortunately, all of the different <strong>TV</strong>s<br />

have their own unique operating<br />

environments, and you can't translate<br />

apps from one device to another.<br />

However, most smart <strong>TV</strong>s have their own<br />

remote applications on the <strong>Android</strong> and<br />

Apple app stores that will enable you to<br />

control the <strong>TV</strong> from anywhere in the<br />

house.<br />
