outlaw69uk 7 Posted April 4, 2019 Posted April 4, 2019 Hi Guys Looking for a new TV, and, wanted to check, is it only the Samsung I can get Emby on? Not sure I actually want one of those haha J
CBers 7450 Posted April 4, 2019 Posted April 4, 2019 Or buy any TV and plug a Shield, MiBox, Fire TV device, Apple TV or Roku into it

Care to expand ?

Care to expand ? Its more the firestick itself, underpowered and slow. I would say the "theatre" option is nicer to look at than the android one, if that makes sense? Technically its fine, but, I like pretty haha
FrostByte 5392 Posted April 4, 2019 Posted April 4, 2019 If you're fed up with the Fire TV app, then switching to the ET app on a TV may disappoint you more At least HDR works with ET 1
CBers 7450 Posted April 4, 2019 Posted April 4, 2019 At least HDR works with ET It does on the Shield. Garbage in, Garbage out 1
outlaw69uk 7 Posted April 4, 2019 Author Posted April 4, 2019 It does on the Shield. Garbage in, Garbage out I will be getting a shield too at some point haha I dont get this HDR thing... yet! haha
CBers 7450 Posted April 4, 2019 Posted April 4, 2019 I will be getting a shield too at some point haha I dont get this HDR thing... yet! haha Currently, there is a bug in the Shield software, whereby it doesn't trigger HDR if cropped content is played. Cropped content is any HDR content that is not 3840x2160 dimensions. Providing the content isn't cropped, HDR is triggered fine. 1

Technically its fine, but, I like pretty haha Sorry, we'll have to disagree on the aesthetics Although ET is very similar, the ATV app on the Shield (should be the same on the Fire TV) is IMO much better. The Shield is a lot more powerful than a Fire Stick, so you would get ait better response and smoother navigation. Just my opinion. 1

The Shield is a lot more powerful than a Fire Stick, so you would get ait better response and smoother navigation. Just my opinion. Its all about opinions I will find out soon enough Never really used the ET, so, unsure. Yeah, firesticks (at least the one I have) are very underpowered. I made the mistake of trying to use Kodi, and the emby kodi app, and, aye,that didnt work right haha. Only has 2Gb storage anyway, and a weak processor. May change out to the newer 4k one, but, I may also get a shield for the bedroom instead, in fact, all the more likely Really appreciate the input though, genuinely. I had thought about a shield, but dont know anyone who has one. Needed a new TV though, so, best of both worlds at the mo 1
Jambercob 12 Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 I would personally recommend one of the TCL Roku TV's. We have one of the 55" 4K models in our bedroom, one of the smaller 32" ones in our sons bedroom and they work flawlessly. The Roku app is easily one of the smoothest emby apps out there. We have a Samsung 3D TV in the living room and hooked a Roku Ultra up to it and forgot the smart interface even existed. The smart TVs all seem to have a clunky, slow interface compared to a Roku. I have also seen the 4K Apple TV app in action and it appears very smooth, not sure about a Shield but because of the specs I would make the assumption that it will also be very smooth. 1
outlaw69uk 7 Posted April 8, 2019 Author Posted April 8, 2019 Well, I got it set up yesterday, works fine, definitely replaces the firestick thats for sure Not sure about Roku? Do we get them over here in the UK? I have seen the name about a lot
Luke 42077 Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 Well, I got it set up yesterday, works fine, definitely replaces the firestick thats for sure Not sure about Roku? Do we get them over here in the UK? I have seen the name about a lot Yes Roku is a great option as well.
