Questions About Hisense Android TV Model 58H6550E

[gil_happy]

Hello,

I have a question about the Hisense 58" Android TV from Costco (model 58H6550E). I have used Roku TVs (namely TCL) and I'm very, very happy with them, but I'm thinking of switching to an Android based TV. I have a couple of questions:

- Is there a list of officially supported apps for this model of Android TV?

- I think I've read that you can side load some apps, but they may not function / work / etc due to some type of check that is performed (however, the apk can be modified to get around this check).

- Is this TV easy to root? Also, I believe I read that if it is rooted, an app such as Netflix won't give you 4k content due to something related to Widevine encryption.

Thanks in advance!

its just to many apps on Android TV, just bettre if you tell with apps you relly looking for and later try search Play Store if they have that apps.

Self in Sweden i have lik every singel apps some is importen exist to it and mutch more.

I think Hisense has well access to all apps some like TCL as well have.

But you can allways have like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video but my be needed for Side load it frome any APK for get it to work becouse Amazon requrie the TV brand to roll out it with a pre-installed for get Google Play Store access.

With many TV still has not include as a pre-installed. Rest of the apps i think just basic match for all ATV.
