Android TV

Let guests control lights, switches and air conditioning, and view cameras, from the TV or their phone, through Home Assistant or Shelly, and switch devices on at check-in and off at checkout.

Just received a BetterSTR TV box from our shop? Plug it in, connect it to Wi-Fi or Ethernet, and pair it to a property by scanning the QR code with your phone. Includes a video.

Some shows or channels play with no sound? The TV box thinks your TV supports Dolby surround when it does not. Switch the audio track to Standard stereo.

Install BetterSTR TV on an Android TV or Google TV from Google Play, turn on its permissions, and pair it to a property from your phone. Includes a step-by-step video.

Link a Roku or Samsung TV to your Android TV box over the local network, so power (and on Samsung, volume) syncs without relying on HDMI-CEC.

Switch AirPlay or casting off per TV, or require guests to scan a QR code on the TV so only their phone can see and cast to it. Ideal for hotels where every guest shares one Wi-Fi.

Let guests control a BetterSTR TV from their own phone: a QR code on the TV opens a browser remote with d-pad, volume, playback, app shortcuts and a keyboard, over the property Wi-Fi.

Browse a catalog of free IPTV channels, preview them, and drag your favourites into a list for all guides, one property, or a tagged group.
