Someone first said he managed to get this android app on his mobile/tablet to remotely control his Android Smart TV..(http://forum.energysistem.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=30)
The thing is that this forum is in spanish only, and that the link points to a chinese page.... so I thought I'd stick it here !!!
This said, I tried it on my HTC Desire and on My Asus TFT101 and I definitely can control my tv with both of them
hoping it will help
b0b0
ps: I'm really interested in knowing HOW can this software connect to my Android TV without me entering any passwords ... This means I can go to anyone's house with an android smart tv & control it??!!!

Just going to bump this as its working well with my ATV1200
Anyone else had a go with it.. and is there any hacks to it?
Also been playing with this one.. but cant seem to get it to work..

[APP][2.2+] CheapCast. Turn your Device into a ChromeCast Dongle

Ok, here it is. The first public beta of CheapCast, an App that let's your Android Device emulate a ChromeCats Dongle. I decided to put this up for free since I believe it could potentially useful to a whole lot of people. If you like it and it works for you, feel free to just use one of the Donation options within the App.
I will also make the Source Code available in the near future (I'm still cleaning it a bit up). Just watch this space: https://github.com/mauimauer/cheapcast
I hope to further improve the App and welcome anybody who wants to contribute.
In my first PoC-Video I've showed CheapCast with YouTube, I've just uploaded another video showing Google Music streaming to a Nexus 7 running CheaCast: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ktmrXgj9qQ&feature=youtu.be
As this is the first public Beta please expect things to fail. I appreciate your feedback. Please log your issues/bugreports here: https://github.com/mauimauer/cheapcast/issues
Hope you enjoy it.
Get it on the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=at.maui.cheapcast
or download it here: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23060877489999237

Awesome thanks. I'll be testing as soon as I get home.

very handy!
n4 > cheapcast > note 10.1 attached to sony bravia :highfive:

Awesome concept, but I cannot get my Revue to cooperate at all. It force closes every single time I try to start the service. I've tried multiple reboots and re-installs. Blah this Revue is a POS.

Awesome. Planning to try this on my Nexus Q running CM. Finally give the Q a purpose in life once again

Thanks!
Works on my SGS3 and my Xoom.
Not on my HPTouchpad or my Ouya but I haven't tried very hard yet.

Like it a lot!!!!
Works OK so far. Great concept for sure!! I can get all 3 of my Samsung device to connect but can only get you tube to play. I keep getting errors when using Google play music. Says unable to play requested song.... Anyway, I have my galaxy note 8.0 and also a galaxy s4 connecting to a galaxy s2 skyrocket. I've even tried connecting just the note 8.0 and s4 and have the same issue. Hope to get this fixed soon... Would love to stream to my surround sound when I feel like jammin!

A explaination on what this does exactly would be nice.

concept
i dont know why people are using both sender and receiver as mobile devices i think the concept of this app is that your suppose to install this app on a android tv hdmi dongle and transfer content from your mobile device to you tv

This is really awesome can anyone recommend some good dongles? works great with my gnex via MHL, but still a bit troublesome

Reading this might help, Turn Your Extra Android Device into a Chromecast Receiver with CheapCast.
its to use one for sending and one for receiving, could be useful if u have a spare fone with hdmi.

I was just wondering if such service will be available on other platforms like, Linux or Windows. So it can run on HTPCs.

Try https://github.com/dz0ny/leapcast/
Both seem to have the same problems at the moment though, single channel? Loses connection with the sender after one or two tracks of a playlist.
Very much looking forward to seeing how this develops.

Tried loading up Cheap cast on a second device. (MK802 and ATV1200) It didn't like that at all, none of my phones could see any CCs in Music.

Why??

Same problem here, losing the connection after a song. The only way to get it working again is to either disconnect and reconnect the sender, or to restart the service on the receiver. Bar that, this is class

Had this issue as well. I found out, that CheapCast is registered as another device for Google Play Music. I already had 10 devices attached, so killing some of the old and not used ones fixed that problem.
Maybe you got the same problem, if its only Music that is not working?

Test the player store version of the Sling TV app, I have been told it will
work with the 5.1 Nexus TV Player version ... You don't need a login account, if doesn't tell you to upgrade, when you first open the app, then it will work ...

Test this current version of the Sling TV app, it has leanback launcher Code http://www.mediafire.com/download/qvnxs618mihpfj6/com.sling-1.apk ... Let me know ASAP, if it doesn't ask you for the update/upgrade, when you launch the app ...

No sir, does not seem to work, I get a 2-49 error, I went in and stopped the app and cleared cached, also ran from sideload launcher didnt make a difference. TT>

I wonder if Sling is Blocking it now ? http://www.cordcuttersnews.com/sling-tv-updated-now-blocks-android-tvkodi-boxes-like-the-g-box-q/

Any new features???

I'm not noticing anything. I need to test android cast though the main feature that I felt stunk and always forced me to use my chromecast.

Where is this? Via update? The image hasn't even been posted yet...i hope to god they addressed the multichannel audio pass through for ac3 and DTS, not to mention add mpeg2 hardware decoding

my nexus player auto updated itself. Haven't used it all day and when I just checked it 5.1 was already installed. Android phones/tablets usually require the user to approve, but it looks like android TV will auto update. Perhaps a notification is shown and after awhile if the user doesn't do anything, it auto updates?
Doesn't look like a lot is changed, from a user POV. One thing I did notice is a "restart" option in settings->about, which is nice. No more unplugging and plugging to reboot!

I've noticed the same thing happens with the apps. They are just magically updated. No questions or manual intervention needed.

I have not gotten it. maybe it's cause im rooted?

That's because playstore is set to auto update apps by default. If you don't want that behaviour, change the setting.

Does the bluetooth audio function now? Can you pair bt headset, or bluetooth stereo to it?
Note 4 ?

Anybody known if the root out there is ok for the new 5.1 update or is there a new file posted somewhere?

I believe the existing root still works as there wasn't a new one for my phone Nexus 6 when it went from 5.0.1 to 5.1

Perfect will give it a shot. Stuck into a minor issue in the meantime. Cant mount the cache arghhh. Factory image does not include a cache.img partition. Can I use the cache.img from another nexus device?

Kindly be patient till they fix the issue

same here !!! definitly need a fix for the dropdown list
i can t choose display and help in menu with mouse.
very very annoying for display...
It s a damn bug to fix quickly

i've tried back to .15
the only workaround is if you use airmouse with navigation buttons ,once menu opened with mouse pointer,
it's possible to go over menu and extend the sub menus .

i think easier put would be.
it is impossible to select and navigate in the OSD when a video is playing with a mouse.
once you click the 3 dot menu, it will disappear as soon as you move your mouse.
the only way to change any settings during a video is playing is using 4 direction navigation button with select key.
i'll try checking when it started if i can find some time.

I have same problem from december when i switch to new android tv box. I use h96pro+ android tv box and airmouse rii i25A (but problem is with regular mouse too). Before this i used imito MX1 with same mouse (not airmouse) and i didn't have this problem. On phone and tablet works fine but on tv box can't use menu. When i open app menu disappears after 2-3s but from video it is so fast i can't open anything.

Dish AirTV and Adapter, post your findings! Here's mine...

After searching around, I couldn't find any place people were really talking about these things... So here we go.
After finding out about the AirTV player and adapter from Dish, I purchased one. Here's what I've learned.
The adapter is a Hauppage WinTV-HVR-955Q. I tested it on my laptop and it works just fine. Best Buy sells that model for $59. Dish sells them for $30. Bonus.
I haven't tried sideloading the Amazon VOD app, but that's next on my list. Also, hoping that AT&T will release a DirecTVNow Android TV app soon. My question is, when they do, is there any way for Dish to block it on their AirTV box? Considering it is their direct competition. Or can we just root this thing and do it anyway? I'm thinking about just keeping the AirTV adapter and getting a SHIELD and going that route.
Anybody else messing around with these things?

Can you tell me what chipset it uses and how much RAM and storage space it has?

CPU: 4x ARM Cortex-A53 @ 1200 MHz
64 bit ARM
Ram: 1GB
---------- Post added at 02:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:01 PM ----------
They don't have any factory images available, but I got word that they are planning to push an update OTA by end of February.
We'll have to grab that when it's downloaded.
You can access recovery by plugging it in and holding down the "find remote" button.
Android recovery
Technicolor/uiw4010ech
6.0.1/MUF05/1.0.2.111816
Then you can reboot to bootloader, which then just starts up Android.
You can disable the sling app in settings and it won't then auto launch.
I like the remote of n the device. It automatically integrates with your TV using infrared. I am going to try it on the Nexus player to see how compatible it is.

Can one of you pull the sling apk from your airtv box? TIA

Guess that was too difficult for you guys, thanks for nothing

Could you get the sling apk for this. I'm having scaling issues with SD content on Android TV version. Want to see if this is any better.

Stock Rom option
I'm curious if it's possible to get rid of the built in interface and move to stock android tv. And still allow us to use the OTA dongle

I was wondering the same thing, and how close this is / can be to vanilla Android TV. Thinking of taking advantage of the SlingTV promotion to get one.

I have been using it for about a month and purchased because of the Sling promotion (Model UIW4010ECH). Works pretty well and has a good tv guide interface that combines the Sling and OTA channels. I am very annoyed that it blocks several apps including xfinity and amazon video. I'm trying to get amazon to work. I have ES file explorer installed and pulled the amazon apk from my nexus. Tonight, I plan to spend some time tinkering. If there is anyone with advise, I'm all ears.

I downloaded the Amazon instant video for android from API dot.com and side loaded it. it was version 4.1.20 which I think is the apk for Sony smart tv and after reset of airtv player , it has worked fine.

DirectTV app for tablets works, until I click on a channel to watch....lol

Has anyone figured out how to record OTA channels on the AirTV? I got the tuner through the Sling promotion and it pulls in all my local channels fine in both the Sling app and the Live Channels app. I put a 32gb USB thumb drive in the second USB to test if I could record anything but there does not seem to be an option to do that. My understanding is that in the Live Channels app guide shows that can be recorded should say something like "DVR recordable" in their listing. I didn't see that for any of my OTA channels.
I also tried sideloading the Plex Server app from a ShieldTV just for ****s and giggles but that wouldn't even install.
Has anyone had any more luck than me?

I'm also curious about this.. I have seen a couple reviews indicating they have disabled any kind of external USB support.. however, they do say on their website, "OTA DVR coming soon". That leads me to believe that they are looking into allowing external storage but that that haven't made it that far yet, which makes me sad.
I'm going to try and see if it can locate my NAS drive and get a 3rd party tuner app to record shows to it over my network. Other than that I don't think there's any way to get it working unless someone roots it and gets USB storage working natively.

Sorry if I am not knowledgeable on these things. I want to download and enable the apk for setvnow on the AirTV. Right now it only allows apps from the play store. I need to access the apk via a website. If i can then this box might just be what i need to combine IPTV and OTA TV.

Maybe the wrong spot, but I was trying to get the USB tuner to work on my Nexus. No such luck. I plugged it into my window 10 comp and had to manually download the drivers to get it to work since it's a Haupaugge (sp) adapter. Any idea to get it to work on the Nexus player. Those adapters are cheaper than it's own ones. Thanks
Edit. Just a thought. Been playing with it (Xbox one, etc) I wonder if dish blocked any device from Auto detecting it to find drivers??
