What Is An Android TV Box & What Are They For?

You’ve probably heard a lot of different things about Android TV boxes from people trying to sell you one.

They’re magic. They let you get any show you’ve ever seen and could ever want to watch.

Today, we’re going to set the record straight and talk about just what an Android TV box is (and isn’t) and what they’re used for.

What is an Android TV Box and What Are They For?

An Android TV box is another name for a streaming device that specifically runs on the Android operating system.

Depending on where you live, you’ll hear them called a bunch of different names, but they all refer to the same thing.

• TV box
• Streaming player
• Media player
• HTPC (Home Theatre PC)
• Kodi Box
• IPTV box
• Set Top Box

No matter what you call it, each of these devices does basically the same thing. They all let you stream content to your television, either from the internet or another device on your network.

That’s really all there is to it.

We’ll get into why all of the different names in a bit, but for now, let’s look at what you can do with an Android TV box…no matter what you call it,

What Can an Android TV Box do?

If you’ve got an Android phone or tablet, then you’re already familiar with everything that an Android box can do.

• You can stream movies from Netflix or Disney+.
• Watch live TV through Sling or Hulu
• Listen to music through Spotify or Apple Music
• Catch up on the news with BBC, CNN or Fox News
• Play games, using your PS4 or Xbox One controller
• Watch my personal movie collection with Kodi or Plex
• Control your home with Google Assistant
• And much more!

Android TV boxes have access to the Google Play Store and other app stores like Aptoide TV so you can install any of over 40 MILLION APPS!

How Does An Android TV Box Work?

Believe it or not, an Android TV box is easier to hook up than your DVD player.

It connects to the internet to grab content from an app or local machine on your home network. So you do need to have an internet connection (or access to one) to make them work.

It then sends that content to your television through an HDMI cable.

When I said it was easier to install than your DVD player, I meant it. You can actually set up an Android TV box with as little as two cables (HDMI and power).

Because they use the same apps as you have on your Android phone, you can usually transfer content between the two. For example, you can start a video on YouTube on your phone and then cast it to your Android TV box to play on your big screen television.

Can an Android TV Box Work On Any TV?

Well I’m sure that there are SOME televisions that you can’t connect an Android TV box to, but they’ll work on almost every modern TV.

All you need to connect your Android TV box to your TV is an HDMI port. They started appearing on televisions back in 2004

Portable televisions or older TV’s and monitors that don’t have an HDMI port could be a problem. If your TV has a composite (red, white & yellow), component (red, green, blue) or VGA ports (PC monitor) then there are adapters that you can buy to bridge the gap.

What Apps Work on an Android TV Box?

Android TV boxes can use any apps designed for Android TV’s (more on them later).

Those apps are specifically designed for large format, 4K or 1080p screens. More importantly, they’re designed to work with a remote control.

Most people don’t have a touchscreen television, so swiping on your TV is only going to put fingerprints on it.

But here’s the good news: There are over 40 million apps designed for Android devices and you can install any of them on an Android TV box.

There’s one huge caveat with that statement: Most apps were designed for your phone’s 1080 x 1920 resolution. They might not upscale to your TV’s 1080p or 4K resolution.

What this looks like is probably not what you’re thinking. Many apps will appear letterboxed with big black bars on either side. You lose some screen on each side, so it’s not the best looking experience.

There are a few app stores that are specifically for Android TV like the Aptoide TV store that can help you find the apps you want.

Android TV Box vs. Android TV

I’m going to throw you for a loop here, so stay with me.

Android TV is NOT THE SAME as an Android TV box!

And it gets better…

Some devices, like the Nvidia Shield TV are BOTH and Android TV box and running Android TV!

We’ve already seen that an Android TV box is just a streaming box that runs the Android operating system. So what’s the difference between Android TV vs Android TV box?

To understand the difference, we need to know what Android TV is first.

What is Android TV?

Google has been trying to gain a foothold in your home for years. When Android TV came out in 2014, it was already their second attempt at creating an operating system specifically designed for your television.

When Chromecast came out in 2013, most people thought that Google had given up on the idea of an operating system truly designed for a television. But it turns out they were just biding their time until they unveiled Android TV the following year.

We’ll talk about Chromecast in a little bit, so stay tuned.

Since it came out, most television manufacturers have started putting some sort of media center on their televisions.Most of them are just stripped down versions that can only open specific apps.

My Samsung TV has a ribbon along the bottom that can open YouTube, Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and a few others. But if I wanted to install Disney+ for example, I’m out of luck.

By contrast, Android TV is a full-fledged operating system that gives you the flexibility to add whatever apps you like.

Now for the confusing part…

Android TV comes on media streamers like the Nvidia Shield as well as televisions. That’s why the Shield TV is BOTH an Android TV box AND Android TV.

In reality, it’s not something that you need to put a lot of thought into. The average user will be able to do a majority of things on either device.

Android TV Box vs. TV Box vs. Kodi Box

It’s common for people in different parts of the world to have different names for things. Android TV boxes are no exception.

As I mentioned earlier, the same device can be called a TV box, media streamers, IPTV boxes or a host of other names, depending on where you are.

The most common of them are Android TV Box (or just TV box) or Kodi Box.

Because they run on the Android OS, it’s common to hear them called Android TV boxes, or simply TV boxes, throughout the world. Occasionally you’ll hear other devices like a set-top box or cable box simply called TV boxes as well, but that’s incorrect.

A set-top box or cable box is the device that your cable company gives you so they can make sure you’re legally using their service. In the past, you used to have one cable box per television, but some companies will let you use one box per household.

We’ve already talked about how an Android TV box is more like a Roku or Amazon Fire TV than your old cable box. In fact, the Amazon Fire TV IS a type of Android TV box because it runs a customized version of Android 6 (source).

If you live in Europe, you’re probably used to hearing Android boxes called Kodi boxes or Kodi players. Kodi, which was originally called XBMC for Xbox Media Center, is one of the most popular media centers in the world. Similar to Plex, Kodi lets you access your own media from a local machine on your network.

What made Kodi so popular is the open-source addons that its community developed to stream movies and TV shows from the Internet directly. According to the MPAA, there were approximately 38 million Kodi users throughout the world. Many of them used some sort of Android box to stream their content, so it’s no wonder that people started calling them ‘Kodi boxes.’

No matter what you call it, they all do the same thing: stream content to your television.

Android TV box vs Amazon Fire TV

As I said earlier, the Amazon Fire TV is a type of Android TV box. That goes for all different versions of the Fire TV by the way.

According to Amazon, a Fire TV is any device that runs their specific version (or ‘fork’) of the Android OS. Fire OS 5 was the first one to come out and is based on Android 5.1 (Lollipop). Fire OS 6 is based on Android 7.1 (Nougat).

Both are specifically optimized for their hardware so the performance is good, even though they’re very old versions of Android.

Android TV box vs Chromecast

The Chromecast is a special beast, even though it was also designed by Google.

Chromecasts are primarily designed to take content from your phone or computer and display it (cast it) to your television.

There’s a new Chromecast with Google TV which has a version of Android TV on it, but it just came out in late 2020.

Many televisions have Chromecast built-in. For those that don’t, you can buy an inexpensive device that looks like an HDMI dongle with a small hockey puck on the end.

I have a Chromecast on one of my older televisions and it’s built-in to my living room TV. I don’t use it very often, but it’s useful when I find a video on my phone that I want to share with everyone else in the room.

Content is limited to the major apps: YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, etc.. You’re not allowed to install your own apps, so if you want to watch something different, you’re out of luck.

Android TV Box FAQ

Are TV boxes legal?

Absolutely. Even though the major manufacturers and movie studios hate Android TV boxes, they’re perfectly legal. But, like most things, you can do illegal things with them and that could get you into trouble.

It’s easy to find news articles about dodgy Android boxes where you can stream movies that are still in the theatres directly to your living room television. And, in fairness, you can configure any of these devices to do that. Depending on where you live, that may not be entirely legal. But if that’s what you’re looking for, it’s pretty easy to do because these devices are so flexible and tweakable.

At their core though, an Android TV box is just a media player.

Are Android TV boxes free?

Android TV boxes aren’t free, but they’re not expensive either. Most range in price from $50 all the way up to $150. Anything more than that had better be cutting edge technology or come from a company that provides excellent service.

It’s common to see scammers at county fairs or flea markets trying to sell Android boxes for $300-$400 each. Their sales pitch is that you can get ‘free movies and TV for life.’

Don’t fall for it. They’re not selling you anything that you couldn’t do on your own by following a video tutorial on YouTube.

Where to Buy Android TV Boxes

Although there are many different companies that make Android TV boxes, you can actually find a pretty decent selection of them on Amazon. If you live outside the United States, there are companies like Geek Buying or GearBest that will ship anywhere in the world.

I recommend digging a little deeper and trying to find a really good company to buy directly from the source. Going through the manufacturer will usually get you better support and firmware updates. When there’s a new model coming out, it’s common to see them offer discounts for existing customers as well.

Tim Wells got his first computer at the age of ten and hasn’t stopped tinkering ever since. After discovering Android TV boxes in 2013, he created a popular Android PC Review website and guided it to over 8 million pageviews before stepping away in 2018. After a brief hiatus from the industry he’s back at the helm of AndroidTVNews.com to bring Android TV and TV boxes to the forefront of the streaming world. When he’s not writing, he spends as much time as he can with his beautiful wife and his bulldog.

20 Best Android TV Apps You Should be Using

Android TV was first announced as a Smart TV platform back in 2014, and we’ve come a long way since then. Where Android TVs were originally only made by TV manufacturers choosing to add the Android TV operating system to their flagship TVs, now we can buy Android TV boxes and convert any TV with an HDMI port into an Android TV complete with features like HDMI CEC. These TV boxes have made Android TVs a lot more accessible and affordable to a lot more people. So, if you’ve purchased an Android TV box, or if you’re using an Android TV, here are the 20 best Android TV apps you should be using in 2021.

Best Android TV Apps You Should Use in 2021

Like it is with Android smartphones, Android TV comes in different flavors thanks to the custom skins used by different TV manufacturers. However, don’t worry as these apps will work on all Android TVs such as the OnePlus TV, Xiaomi Mi TV line-up, Samsung’s Android TVs, iFFalcon TVs, TCL TVs, Nokia Smart TVs, and more.

1. SlingTV

If you are looking for the best Android TV app that offers you a great range of live TV channels including sports, lifestyle, news (local and international), and is a great cable TV alternative, then SlingTV is the perfect pick. To name a few, the app has channels such as the ESPN network, NFL, The Food Network, CNBC, BBC, and more. While the app is completely free to install, you will have to pay for the live TV service.

Talking about the app, it’s quite slick and well designed. I was able to quickly move between channels just like traditional TVs. All in all, SlingTV seems to be the best app for watching live TV channels on Android TV given that it also comes with a cloud-based DVR (Digital Video Recording) support.

Install: Free, starts at $20/month

2. Send files to TV (SFTV)

Send Files to TV is one of my favorite apps on Android TV, bar none. There are times when you want to transfer videos, photos or music files to your TV and that’s when you realize that you need a thumb drive to transfer the files. However, Send files to TV app makes everything seamless through wireless transfer. You just have to install the app on both your TV and smartphone and you will be able to send the files as if you are sending a WhatsApp forward.

Keep in mind, you will have to be in the same WiFi network for this to work. Talking about the reliability of the app, the transfer speed is pretty good and I have rarely seen any failed transfers. Simply put, if you are on a lookout for the best app to transfer files on Android TV, SFTV is the one you should pick.

Install: (Free, offers in-app purchases)

3. Solid Explorer

After the fall of ES File Explorer, Solid Explorer has rightfully earned its position as the best file manager on Android and it’s true for Android TV as well. This file explorer is the perfect replacement for ES File Explorer and you are truly going to love its unique blend of design and function. The app brings a two-pane layout interface which makes it very easy to navigate through folders and interact with files.

The best part is that you can manage the internal storage of your Android TV right from Solid Explorer. It allows you to uninstall, delete and also install third-party APKs on Android TV. Not to mention, you can add your FTP server if you want. To sum it up, Solid Explorer is not only the best file manager for Android TV, but it’s also among the best apps for Android TV.

Install: (Free, offers in-app purchases)

4. Retroarch

Even though Android TV comes with its own Play Store, which has some of the best Android TV games available to download, if you’re looking for some classic retro-console gaming action, check out Retroarch. This is an emulator that you can install to play NES/SNES games on Android TV with a controller.

It might take you some time to completely understand the workings of the emulator, but Retroarch is one of the best emulators for playing SNES, NES, PS1, and N64 games on Android TV, so I would recommend you check it out. What’s more, if you have a huge library of old games, you can install them on an external hard disk and play off of that as well, which means you don’t need to sacrifice the storage space on your TV.

5. VLC

VLC media player is a very popular video playing app, and with good reason. The app supports almost every file format, and can playback videos encoded in a wide variety of codecs. VLC can even easily decode videos that use the HEVC H.265 codec. Add to that the intuitive interface, and the stability that VLC offers, and you’ll know just why VLC is so widely used.

The VLC app automatically categorizes your media into Video, Audio, and other. Plus, with the settings inside the app, you can control things like hardware acceleration, and more. VLC comes pre-installed on Android TV boxes like the Mi Box, but can be easily installed as it is available on the Android TV Play Store.

6. Aptoide

Aptoide is simply one of the best apps for Android TV because it lets you access thousands of Android apps without any geo-restriction or Android TV compatibility issue. In case, you are not aware, Aptoide is a third-party app store and a Play Store alternative. You can discover and install apps that are otherwise not available on the Play Store.

If you are worried about the app integrity, well Aptoide is directly supported by the developers so there are no middlemen repackaging the apps. Simply put, if you are unable to find your favorite apps on Android TV through the Play Store, the Aptoide app store will take you right home.

7. Spotify

When it comes to streaming music, Spotify is undoubtedly the best free music apps out there. With the Spotify app on your Android TV, you can stream music directly through your Android TV itself. The best part about using Spotify, is that it has a free tier service, as well.

However with the paid subscription, you get unlimited track skipping, and no ads between songs. On Android TV boxes like the Mi Box, Spotify comes pre-installed, and you just need to sign in with your Spotify account in order to start streaming music.

Install: (Free, with in-app purchases)

8. Netflix

Netflix is to video streaming, what Spotify is to music. It is one of the most popular movie, and TV show streaming platforms in the world. And now that Netflix is available almost everywhere in the world, chances are, you have a subscription already. Even if you don’t, I highly recommend that you give Netflix a try.

With the app installed you can watch some of the best Netflix originals, including some exciting Netflix TV series and more. The Netflix app comes pre-installed on many Android TVs and you can simply log in with your Netflix account to get started with binge watching the best Netflix movies.

Install: (Free, with in-app purchases)

9. Haystack

Android TV boxes such as the Mi Box come packed with a plethora of applications, ranging from music and video streaming apps, to news applications. However, if those news apps don’t meet your needs, you should check out Haystack. Haystack is a news app that you can use to stay updated on a variety of topics, from Science and Technology, Politics and Current Events, to Games, and Movie Trailers.

News items are presented in a nice fluid interface, which is perfect for an Android TV set up. Also, the way things are laid out is exceptionally well thought out. Haystack brings news curated from a number of sources, such as AP, BBC News, CBS, and many more. Plus, there is a handy “weather pane” on the bottom of the window to keep you updated with the weather in your location.

Install: (Free, with ads)

10. Kodi

Kodi is perhaps one of the most powerful media server applications out there. The app can be used to manage all your media into one central location, which can even be set up to be accessed remotely. Along with that, Kodi’s abilities can be enhanced with a number of Kodi add-ons that add on a lot of power to the application. You can learn how to install Kodi on different operating systems by clicking on the link.

You should definitely use Kodi on your Android TV if you have a lot of offline media, and are looking for a way to quickly organize all of it, with a proper hierarchy. Any extra media that you may add to your device after you’ve set up Kodi, will automatically be sorted into the proper categories, and arranged into the locations you have decided. Kodi’s add-ons also help it support almost any audio, and video format that you may throw at it, making it a very versatile solution for consuming media on your Android TV.

11. Plex

Another really great media center application that you can use, is Plex. The Plex application is not as powerful as Kodi, and doesn’t really have as many plugins either. But where Plex shines, is in the simple way things are laid out in the app. Where Kodi might look (and feel) intimidating, Plex has a user interface that is immediately friendly, and will have you hooked in no time. That is, once you have figured out how things work.

To use Plex on your Android TV, you will need a Plex server on another laptop, or computer, which can be accessed by your Android TV over WiFi. Once that is done, you can playback any media file on your Plex server, directly on your Android TV, without the hassle of any wires, transferring files, etc. If you are not happy with Plex, you can also look at some of the best Plex alternatives to get the same set of features.

Install: (Free, with in-app purchases)

12. Tunnelbear

Having a VPN application never hurts. It helps to keep you anonymous while browsing the internet, and can be used to circumvent geographical restrictions placed on a lot of online content. Unless you want to pirate stuff, Tunnelbear is one of the best Android VPN apps you can use on your Android TV. Even though the app is not yet optimized for Android TV, it works perfectly fine, and actually looks rather good.

Tunnelbear gives you 500 MB data free every month, and you can buy one of their paid subscriptions to increase this limit. For basic browsing, though, 500 MB will probably suffice you. Do note that Tunnelbear will not let you download items that use P2P protocols, for security, and legal reasons. There are a lot of other free VPN services that you can use as well, should Tunnelbear not meet your expectations.

Install: (Free, with in-app purchases)

13. Google Chrome

Android TVs don’t come with a web browser installed, which is understandable, but still quite disappointing. However, if you want a web browser on your Android TV, you can easily install a browser such as Google Chrome. With Google Chrome installed, you can browse the web, and do a lot more on your Android TV.

Since we are installing a fully fledged Android app, it will have every feature that the Google Chrome app has on an Android phone. However, Google Chrome is not available in the Android TV Play Store, which means you will have to sideload it. You can read our article on sideloading apps on Android TVs to learn how you can do this.

14. YouTube TV

YouTube TV is a must have app for anyone who is serious about cord-cutting. With a YouTube TV subscription, you will get access to a bunch of live channels, sports, and more. It’s one of the most popular ways to use all your favourite Cable TV channels without actually having a cable TV connection for your TV.

Some of the major channels supported by YouTube TV include CNN, ESPN, NBA TV, TNT, ABC, CBS, and others. However, do note that YouTube TV is only available in the US right now, so if you’re from another country, you won’t be able to subscribe to, or watch YouTube TV content, yet.

15. Sideload Launcher

You must have noticed that a lot of the Android apps we’re installing on our Android TV have to be sideloaded. This is perfectly fine, but the problem is that sideloaded apps do not show up in the default Android TV launcher. This is exactly where Sideload Launcher comes into play. The app is developed by Chainfire, and displays all of the sideloaded apps on your Android TV.

This is the only way you can launch sideloaded apps on an Android TV; at least as of now. So, if you’re planning on sideloading apps on your Android TV, you should definitely install this launcher. There are some other launchers that perform the same function as Sideload Launcher, but I found this one to be the best.

16. Wake On LAN

If you’ve been installing apps from this list, chances are you have Kodi or Plex installed on your Android TV, and you’re using your computer as a server for the content. However, what if your Plex server is sleeping when you want to watch TV? Well, with Wake On LAN, you can send a signal over the internet to wake your computer.

What’s more, you can even automate Wake On LAN to send signals to your computer using apps like Tasker or Llama. Do note that you must configure your computer to support Wake on LAN (WOL) commands, and your internet connection should also support the feature.

17. Twitch

If you’re a fan of watching live streams of various players (both professional, and amateurs), showing off their gameplay, Twitch is the place to be. The app is kind of like the place where people post live streams of them playing different games. While this may sound like a silly past-time to a lot of you, for gaming fans, this is a great thing.

It’s always a lot of fun to watch others play, both for entertainment, as well as for learning new things about the way they approach the game, and the challenges it offers. You can also check out some Twitch alternatives if you are not happy with the service. You should definitely check Twitch out, if you’re even a little bit into gaming.

18. iHeartRadio

Do you want to hear your favorite radio stations on your Android TV? Well, there is an app for that and it works quite well. iHeartRadio is one of the best radio apps for Android out there, and it is particularly designed for those users who love listening to radio stations, music playlists, and podcasts. The best part about this app is that it supports thousands of AM and FM radio stations from both local and global sources.

And that is not all, you can listen to sports stations like ESPN Radio, Fox Sports and more. In terms of design, the app is pretty clean and looks very similar to Spotify. However, it has many radio station labels ranging from music, news, sports, talk, and comedy. All in all, iHeartRadio is certainly a great app for Android TV and if you are a radio lover, it’s a cherry on the cake.

Install: (Free with ads)

19. Steam Link

If you want to play desktop-quality games on your Android TV– irrespective of your TV’s hardware then Steam Link is the best app to try out. However, there are a few caveats: Steam should be installed on your PC and running; your Android TV and PC should be connected to 5GHz WiFi with Ethernet and of course, you need a Steam membership. To simply put, Steam Link works by mirroring the display from your PC to the Android TV so you need faster connectivity and lower latency.

This will allow you to play desktop-level games on a much larger screen. And on top of that, you can even connect a Bluetooth controller to the TV and play in real-time in front of your TV. So, if you are looking for a way to play graphics-intensive games on Android TV, this is a great option to consider.

20. Apple TV

Apple has finally launched its Apple TV app on Android TVs as well. Which means if you have an Apple TV+ subscription, you can now enjoy it on your Android TV’s big screen, without having to get an Apple TV 4K for your home. The new app is available for all Android TVs running Android 8 and above, with access to the Play Store.

You will be able to watch 4K content on your smart TV, and the Apple TV app also brings support for Dolby Vision and HDR content if it’s supported by your Android TV. If you do start using Apple TV on your Android TV, I would recommend you watch For All Mankind, and Ted Lasso on Apple’s service — they are pretty nice shows.

Bonus: Google Duo

Amidst the coronavirus pandemic, Google finally decided to bring its video calling app Duo to Android TV. With this app, you can make video calls right from your Android TV without relying on the small screen of your smartphone. However, one caveat of the app is that it doesn’t show incoming calls at this moment. If you’re interested, you can install Duo from Play Store. In case that didn’t work, go through our guide to sideload Google Duo on your Android TV.

The Best Android TV Apps You Can Use

Android TVs come with a lot of really awesome apps pre-installed, but there are a lot of other apps that you can install on your Android TV to get even more out of it.

These were the 20 best Android TV apps you can use on your smart TV. As always, we would like to know your thoughts so drop them down in the comments section below.
