<div>Hi List, <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I've got a fairly good myth setup in multiple rooms with
some intel NUCs. All working pretty well. <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I want to add a brand new TV for a kids bedroom and am
looking at recent smart TVs for sale in the UK. Theres android
, tizen , webOS and whole host of other smart OS's. Minefield
for the uneducated. <br>
</div>

<div>The kid wants youtube and some other net apps - but
access to MythTVs recordings / videos would be welcome. UPNP
I guess is the (bad) default option. UPNP is bad as it
doesn't sort well , takes a long time , doesn't seek and is
prone to crashing. <br>
</div>
<br>
</div>
<div>The Wife wants ITV Hub - but that doesn't seem to work on
most things and if it does I wouldn't trust ITV to not remove
it in a few months. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If anyone has any experience of Smart TVs working with
MythTV - please could you post a reply?</div>
<br>
<div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks in advance<br>

<p>Android TV should be able to run mythfrontend android version (<a
href="https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Android">https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Android</a>)
and leanfront (<a
href="https://github.com/bennettpeter/android-MythTV-Leanfront/blob/master/README.md">https://github.com/bennettpeter/android-MythTV-Leanfront/blob/master/README.md</a>).
I don't have experience with this on a smart tv.</p>
<p>Another option is an android TV device. The amazon fire stick 4K
is an android device and it will run both of these perfectly at a
reasonable price and with no bulky equipment. I have been using
leanfront on android fire 4K for many months now with few
problems. (disclosure - I am the author of leanfront and I worked
on mythfrontend).</p>
<p>If your smart TV does not deliver as expected, you can pick up an
amazon fire stick 4K, which is sometimes on sale for $35, normally
$50.<br>
