Change Your Dumb Tv Into A Smart Tv With Android Tv For Less Than 60 Euros

Having a smart TV is undoubtedly the most convenient and easy option for consuming multimedia content. However, even though it may be a recent model, not all TVs are smart. Luckily, there is a way to turn any TV into an Android TV with the only requirement being that it has an HDMI input.

 

Likewise, this can also be useful if you have a Smart TV with software that you don’t like or you want to have it on a monitor. It basically involves using external devices that, when connected to the TV, provide Android TV with all its advantages over ‘dumb’ TVs. And all this, with considerable savings compared to buying a new TV.

 

Google TV Streamer, Google’s new entertainment center with 4K

 

 

Chromecasts have typically been used (and still are) to send content to your TV from your mobile phone . However, the most recent models also serve to provide Android TV to any TV by simply connecting it to an HDMI input. These devices run on the operating system called Google TV, which is a layer of Android TV, and offers access to the same content.

Few people know it, but the Google TV Streamer remote is compatible with Chromecast and brings all these new features

The Google TV Streamer has a different format, a set-top box type, and is no longer hidden behind the TV. It comes with a remote control with which to navigate the system . On this we find the classic volume up and down buttons, but also the rounded circle with arrows and the Ok button in the center.

Its operating system is called Google TV, although in the end it is nothing more than a layer of Android TV. In fact, Android TV itself is increasingly resembling its interface to that of Google TV. On it you can have access to the same content as on Android TV, such as applications or functions specific to the system.

The official price of the Google TV Streamer is 119 euros and it is only available in a version with 4K resolution. However, in some stores you can still find units of the classic Chromecast with Google TV that Google killed, for a lower price.

A Smart TV BOX that has Android TV is also a great choice

Apart from Chromecast, we find other highly recommended Smart TV Boxes for adding Android TV to any television. And again we find a considerable saving of money compared to buying a Smart TV.

It works in the same way as Chromecast, you just have to connect it via HDMI to the TV. In the models we are going to recommend you, we find a purer Android TV, without the Google TV interface. Although, yes, some come with their own layer of customization that, removing the manufacturer’s own apps, allows you to do the same thing.

 

The Xiaomi TV Box is probably one of the most interesting options. It has 4K resolution, HDMI 2.0 and even includes a remote control to navigate the entire interface and with functions similar to those seen on the Chromecast.

Without leaving the well-known Chinese brand, the Xiaomi TV Stick 4K is a smaller option, but just as functional with the Android operating system that it has integrated. It also comes with a remote control and its USB flash drive format is very convenient to carry it to different televisions.

Continuing with sticks , the Fire TV Stick Lite is the most affordable option proposed by Amazon to provide smart functions to any television. It is true that its interface is not pure Android, but it is a layer based on this system and with interesting additions such as compatibility with Alexa, being able to even manage other home automation accessories.
