You may have heard of cord-cutters — people who choose to discontinue conventional DTH services in favour of streaming services like Hotstar, Netflix<\/a>, Amazon Prime and so on. Cord cutters have several arguments in their favour but mostly it has to do with regular DTH services and STBs (set top boxes) not keeping up with their needs. That’s set to change with Android TV — and Airtel is the first to actually launch a STB that works as a conventional HD set top box (with recording, pause and rewind) and complete media box (complete with Android apps, web browsing, screen mirroring and USB media playback).
\n
\nAirtel’s Digital TV, as its called, is a hybrid STB. You still need a dish antenna and a coaxial cable but it can connect to your home network via Ethernet or WiFi for some more interesting uses. But first, a bit about the remote control. It’s a Bluetooth remote, which means you don’t have to point it. But it also has infrared because it can take over functions from your TV’s remote. It has a microphone built in so that you can use your voice for search. Know which channel you want to watch? Just speak it out. And there’s a touchpad + D-pad for easier navigation. If you’re fighting with someone over the remote, you can also download the companion app (Airt e l Gamepad). As long as your phone is on the same network, it gives you a second remote, keyboard to enter text (such as in a web browser) and a gamepad to play games.
\n
\nThe interface is fairly intuitive: live TV plays in the background while a menu with TV guide, games, apps, settings, a dedicated Netflix section and Android Home appear as an overlay. You can see thumbnails of what’s playing and instantly jump to it (or record). You also have all the usual STB features of setting reminders, browsing channels by type\/name\/content and setting favourites. Gaming is the only area where we had complaints — the hardware is too slow to play any of the nicer games smoothly. We tried Nitro Nation, Leo’s Fortune, Asphalt 8 and Beach Buggy Racing while using the GamePad app as a controller.
\n
Since it’s Android TV, it gives you access to a limited version of the Play Store<\/a> (the apps that are compatible with a TV interface), Google Play Music<\/a>, Movies & TV, Games and YouTube. We also managed to easily install Kodi — which works with any of the usual add-ons and also functions as a media player when you connect a USB drive loaded with your own content. Overall though, it’s a step in the right direction. A nice way to keep STB users engaged while giving them loads of features in one compact box. \n<\/body>","next_sibling":[{"msid":58840521,"title":"Vodafone's free Wi-Fi bus shelter hits roadblock over AAP-BJP face-off","entity_type":"ARTICLE","link":"\/news\/vodafones-free-wi-fi-bus-shelter-hits-roadblock-over-aap-bjp-face-off\/58840521","category_name":null,"category_name_seo":"telecomnews"}],"related_content":[],"msid":58840821,"entity_type":"ARTICLE","title":"Airtel Internet TV review: The Swiss army knife of STBs","synopsis":"It has a microphone built in so that you can use your voice for search.","titleseo":"telecomnews\/airtel-internet-tv-review-the-swiss-army-knife-of-stbs","status":"ACTIVE","authors":[],"Alttitle":{"minfo":""},"artag":"ET Bureau","artdate":"2017-05-25 16:33:16","lastupd":"2017-05-25 16:35:39","breadcrumbTags":["Airtel TV","android","Netflix","Devices","Play Store","music"],"secinfo":{"seolocation":"telecomnews\/airtel-internet-tv-review-the-swiss-army-knife-of-stbs"}}" data-authors="[" "]" data-category-name="" data-category_id="" data-date="2017-05-25" data-index="article_1">
价格:Rs 4999
等级:* * * *
规格:Airtel机顶盒的安卓电视,蓝牙万能遥控器,HDMI,复合视频,2 x USB端口,以太网+ WiFi,光学音频
直观的界面,混合功能(机顶盒+安卓电视+流+媒体播放器)
没有内置的存储记录(使用自己的USB驱动器),用户卡片伸出一侧(大难看),没有Amazon Prime的视频
你也许听说过掐线——人们选择停止常规潜孔服务像Hotstar支持流媒体服务,网飞公司,亚马逊等等。掐线有几个主要参数对他们有利,但这与常规潜服务和机顶盒(机顶盒)跟不上他们的需求。设置的改变与Android电视——实际上Airtel首次发射作为常规的机顶盒,高清机顶盒(录音、暂停和倒带)和完整的媒体盒(配有Android应用程序、web浏览、屏幕镜像和USB媒体播放)。
Airtel的数字电视,它,是一个混合的机顶盒。你还需要一个碟形天线和同轴电缆,但它可以通过以太网或无线连接到家庭网络对一些更有趣的用途。但首先,远程控制。蓝牙远程,这意味着你不需要点。但它也有红外线,因为它可以从你的电视远程接管功能。它有一个内置的麦克风,这样您就可以使用您的语音搜索。知道你想看哪个频道吗?只是说出来。有一个触摸板+方向键更容易导航。如果你和某人战斗远程,你也可以下载伴侣应用(引导e l手柄)。 As long as your phone is on the same network, it gives you a second remote, keyboard to enter text (such as in a web browser) and a gamepad to play games.
界面非常直观:生活电视剧在后台菜单和电视指南时,游戏,和Android应用程序,设置一个专门的Netflix部分房屋出现的叠加。你可以看到缩略图的玩,立即跳转到(或记录)。你也有所有常见的机顶盒的特性设置提醒,浏览频道类型/名称/内容和设置最爱。游戏是唯一的地方我们有抱怨——硬件太慢顺利玩任何更好的游戏。我们尝试硝基国家,狮子座的财富,沥青8和沙滩车赛车在使用手柄的应用作为一个控制器。
因为它的Android电视,它给你访问的有限版本玩店(应用程序兼容电视接口),谷歌玩音乐,电影、电视、游戏和YouTube。我们也设法轻松地安装科迪——这适用于任何常见的附加组件,也可以作为媒体播放器连接USB驱动器加载时用您自己的内容。不过总的来说,这是一个正确方向的一步。一种很好的方式来保持机顶盒用户参与,同时给他们大量的功能在一个紧凑的盒子里。
