anti-piracy protection
Concerned about purchasing a pirated copy of AndroidTV OS, be it a TV, Set-top Box or Dongle? If you are, check out potential red flags:
​​
-
Device seems to run AndroidTV OS (OS 9 & above, Google Assistant, OTT apps) but Cast built-in is not supported
-
Device supports Miracast receiver (Android mirroring) but not Cast built-in
-
Device is described as running Android AOSP OS yet supports Android TV Apps
-
Device is rooted / jailbroken and/or does not receive firmware updates despite OS version 9 & above
-
Vendor suggests Cast service be performed via central Chromecast pooling with HDCP handshake stripped off
-
Vendor(s) system uses MAC Address as Device Identifiers instead of UUID and AAID
-
The Vendor uses a purported Cloud service to pre-install Apps but all other Device-related functions are capable of being performed via local server only
​
If the answer to 2 or more to the above is YES, you are probably running a pirated copy of AndroidTV ported to a custom open source Android ROM
Risks posed include falling foul of the Terms of Service of Google Play, the Terms of Service of all OTT Apps displayed and Data Protection regulations (Guest Data)

The Offline TV Screen Title and Description are fully configurable from the Central Dashboard, and administrators can set the specific Digital TV Channels and OTT applications that will be made available during this period. Once saved, the system automatically saves this information for use during downtime.
Once the server connection is re-established, the System automatically redirects to the Home Screen with full functions now accessible!

Default Volume ensures devices revert to standard settings on TV power ON/OFF. Max Volume ensures the volume does not go beyond a defined level to minimise noise disturbances.
