Q: Questioncan u access the web with devise ?
Asked by Dano.
- A:Answer Yes you can use a couple different methods to access websites via a chrome browser. If you are more than a novice android user and are familiar with sideloading then you can install the apk for chrome easily with the micro usb port via OTG cable or google drive through a file explorer, and the other method is accessing chrome through selecting a web link in the settings menu. Do a quick youtube search for step by step on the latter method. You will want a mouse and keyboard if you load chrome on this device as it's not optimized for Android TV with the remote as the primary input device.

Q: QuestionCan I view my local channels on it?
Asked by JP.
- A:Answer It does not have that functionality built in. However, I use a media center pc running windows 7 and use a piece of software I found called Kodi (formerly known as XBMC) and it has a client for the Nexus Player. This allows me to view my over the air channels that I watch and record on my media center machine and also access my recorded programs. This has worked extremely well. I didn't buy the device with this in mind, but am very happy with this setup now. However, the device itself, does not have inputs for cable or tv on it physically, so you'ld have to do that through software to some other system.
