FAQ

Questions buyers usually ask.

Is Android TV good for digital signage?

It can be a strong fit when the signage app can run directly on the device and the content is a webpage, dashboard, menu, schedule, or simple display.

Is Google TV different from Chromecast casting?

Yes. Google TV can run apps on the TV device. Cast-only workflows depend on another phone, laptop, or browser session.

What device should I start with?

Start with a current Google TV device that can install Screen Keep. Built-in ethernet is useful when uptime matters.

Build the first screen, then tune from there.
