List of certified Android TV players
Why use Android TV?
The advantages offered by Android TV over many other systems are quite a few. First of all, the user has greater freedom when installing applications on the devices, since only the Android TV catalog is infinitely larger than that of proprietary platforms as it could be Tizen in the case of Samsung or WebOS in LG's.
Having an application store with an endless list is an advantage that allows users to enjoy games and applications of all kinds, also having the option to expand the capacity of the system with external hard drives and connect Bluetooth accessories to use in the rest of applications.
Android TV certified
In the market you will find hundreds of Android TV Box, each one more different and similar at the same time, but if there is something that you should keep in mind, it is that they have official Google certification as an allowed Android TV device.
This certification guarantees access to the Play Store for all those devices that have the permission, so you will never have problems when downloading applications. All those devices that offer Android TV and do not have the certification, could receive a ban that will prevent them from accessing Google services, so it could be a serious problem in the future.
Beware Netflix
Be very careful because a device is certified by Google does not mean that it is also certified by Netflix. Due to a series of licenses and permissions, not all devices will be able to download Netflix from the Play Store, so you should take this into account in the list of best and worst features that we leave you below.
That does not mean that you cannot install the application by downloading the corresponding .APK, but in addition to complicating things at the user level, the application may not work properly due to not receiving official Netflix updates. You are warned.
