It's not possible unless you have an Android box/fire stick or something similar.

Hisense are smart tv's, you can only put apps on Android tv's

Hi all, whats the verdict on these compared to an LG or equivalent?

Might get one for the folks for xmas - I assume it supports saorview or is everyone using a box of some sort?

Thanks

But there are apps/shortcuts to Netflix, BBC player already in place on the TV.
How does that work?

TG4 is the only Irish app on it at the moment.

If you are in ireland it won't work. It's geo locked, unless you have a vpn set up.

Ah ok how do i do that ? It only had an option of uk area ?

Netflix, BBC player, YouTube and Amazon video are already in the TV, they have an app store but it is absolutely crap. You can't add apps outside of their app store

When you set up the tv pick the uk since its all in English.  That has nothing to do with vpn or getting iplayer.

I use a smartdns to get iplayer amazon (I'm not prime though) and netflix. You'll have to do your own research, but all a smartdns needs is you to change a setting in your tvs internet settings.

Do you just adjust DNS server 1 in the TV's settings to the closest DNS server address from who ever you sign up with? 

 Then select UK from you DNS provider?

Have had a bit of time today to play about with the picture settings. I mentioned the uneven backlight in my previous post and if you have a similar issue you may be interested. I watched videos, using my pc, which clearly showed the uneven backlight and paused it. I then messed about with the settings to see if I could minimize the issue. I managed to get a better picture using slightly reduced brightness (not backlight). At he moment I have it set to standard mode, and have changed the brightness to 46, contrast to 47 and left the color saturation on it's default, 50. I couldn't eliminate the issue altogether without making the picture too dark so it's a compromise. The picture did lose a small bit of information to the darker settings, but I think I'm happier with the picture now. You might need settings tailored to your set, or perhaps you don't have this issue!

Yep it's much butter now, just I set brightness to 48 and left all another settings like I setup them before, thanks for info

Hi,

I was messing about with the settings again as the picture on my TV was kinda dark whilst using my PC, to avoid patchy pictures due to my uneven backlight. After much wasted time I used the color calibration tool in Windows 10 (right click on desktop > display settings > advanced display settings >color calibration). I had never needed to use this tool before so it went under my radar. I discovered the signal sent to the TV from my RX 470 had very poor Gamma settings.

I followed the instructions, which involved adjusting the gamma in win 10 by almost the full extent of the slider and got a significantly better picture, overall. I calibrated the color setting using the TV's default settings. Now I can drop the brightness settings on the TV way down and see much more information in the darker areas of the image. For me, this has almost solved my issue with the backlight.

I think web browsing/youtube etc looks best in standard mode with adaptive contrast set on high, to get better dull/black color uniformity, and I now have cinema mode set up with the following color settings (end of video), and the brightness set to only 45. Works for me, and I fell better about owning it now



Anybody else care to share settings?
