Casting / receiver - Android Stick & Console Computers General

Do these Android TV boxes from China run an Android TV version of Android?
I was wondering if I would be able to cast from a PC (Chrome browser + cast plugin) to one of these boxes as a receiver. If not, I'm contemplating just getting a Chromecast, but these boxes offer so much more functionality.
PS. What requirements do devices need to have to qualify as a receiver for casting?
Thanks in advance

Remote Server & Client for WM/Android

I have a fairly new Sony receiver that I really do love & I'm just not ready to give it up & shell out for a new DLNA receiver even though the tv and bluray are DLNA, I really don't want to go buy more cables and have to run & route everything through my TV and always have it on just to listen to music.
I do have a lot of old Windows Mobile devices laying around. So, I was wondering if anyone had a way to use the BT or WIFI & one of the old WM devices to either remotely control my Android device, or any SW that would allow me to use my android device as a media server, controlled by windows mobile?
Any ideas?

[Q] ChromeCast with Macbook for wireless presentations?

We have been recommended an AppleTV for over the air spreadsheet and slideshow presentations from a macbook to a tv display. Can a Google ChromeCast streamer be used as easily for the same purpose? I've read about screen mirroring is now working as beta with Apple devices. I've also read local media playback is disabled in a firmware update. Do these devices need a wifi router, or do they work ad hoc?

Skype on TV using android box

Hi,
I am looking to get Skype on my TV. There are a couple of options - tv specific skype cameras, universal skype cameras that can be hooked to any led tv- but these are too expensive. Another option being android tv box that can support skype. Android TV box seem to be the cheaper option as well as they can actually add on a lot of features. But all I could find on amazon is some unknown chinese companies selling android tv box that can support skype. Is there any good brand that I go with, even if it means buying a web cam separately? Any suggestions pls!
Thanks!

I think, you should first find all the devices that fits to you (hardware, functions, shape, color)
When you get devices' short list you can check and ask for their real functions and issues(find some videos on youtube as well)
After these steps, it seems to me, a few devices left.
I use skype on my UGOOS UT3s without any issues and troubles. Talking to skype wasn't my main task when I bought it, but then I got my PC webcam and start using big screen. Webcamera should be UVC supported.

Read USB and HDMI stream and display in surface view of Android TV box

Hi,
I am developing an app exclusively for Android TV boxes. This app caters to display DTH channels in Android app using the following mechanisms:
1. If DTH box renders channels through HDMI, this HDMI is provided as input to Android TV box. My app should read this continuous stream and display in surface view or similar.
2. If TV channels are rendered through AV, this AV is read by TV tuner card which in turn outputs a USB stream. My app must read this continuous USB stream and display it in any of the views.
And help pointing in this direction would be greatly appreciated, for it has been months that I have been searching for a solution to this.
Regards,
Jaydev
