I’m doing it as we speak and don’t know what sucks???
It thinks everything is Dolby Vison or HDR10. TV colors are washed out.
I’m using HDR and don’t know what the problem is?
What are you seeing?
Purple looks blueish ... Colors are not sharp.
Tivo Stream 4K SDR Issue - How Big a Deal? : Tivo (reddit.com)
I’m not seeing that.., maybe TV specific?
Any content I can test with? Perhaps the same movie your seeing it in?
It is all TV.
Lon has an honest review here ... also mentions the SDR problem and framerate problems ...

I’ve seen this... I just don’t see a big difference ? Am I missing something.
Reason I ask, I have two more coming in from Amazon. I want to catch this before I sell off two of 3 Apple TV’s. I like tivo remotes a lot better!
Sounds like Google TV has the same issue?
Maybe you should try it on your other TV's if you are happy with it go for it... My experience was not that good. Yeah the remote was good .. I went with a Sofabaton ... where I can control every TV and device in my household.
Apparently there was a fix pushed out in July???
The "fix" helped with some streams, but messed up others. The next one partially fixed what they messed up, but it still isn't 100%.

Thanks to everyone for their responses here!
My "question" was more from a POV of a newbie - asking that the details page about the Android clients be expanded with some of this type of info. Coming in cold, you have no idea the different flavours or history of Android TV boxes. Even figuring out what "TS4" meant took a second. I don't have any experience with Apple TV so I had no idea what the generations even were. I have a bunch of Rokus but those aren't applicable here so its a bigger learning curve for me. That was my "question"/"statement".
So my request was get a sentence or two about each of the viable Android TV clients and put those in a list form on https://getchannels.com/docs/getting-started/quick-start-guide/device-support/. That way a new person (like me) can make a decision about what clients they may already have at their disposal, or what they should buy. Maybe even rank them by cost/performance. Indicating which generations are viable helps too (Apple TV 4th generation or later only). I need a high WAF for whatever client I put in and suggest replaces our cable company provided whole-house-dvr solution and just trying to minimize the amount of learning curve.
I’m sending the additional tivos back and keeping one.
I ordered a google tv. The tivo remote apparently will work with google tv.
The ts4k remote will pair with the google but only the standard buttons work. None of the additional buttons (live, tivo, guide, skip and Netflix) are available not even with button mapper.
Sofab!
One thing I find awesome I just discovered.... you can do show me movie movie name and plex shows up!? What!? I could never get this with Apple TV.
Channels needs this!
Man, this sucks. I was reading on Reddit it would... so you’re saying it doesn’t ?
I can't get those buttons to work. I even tried the paid version of button mapper from the playstore. But I don't have a good working knowledge android devices. If you find out something different please let me know. I really like that remote.
You did the thing where you enable network debugging and use an adb command to grant a special permission?
I used adb to set keycodes for other buttons, but I couldn't get button mapper to see those additional keys. I am probably missing something. I can follow step by step instructions but when it comes to adb and android I just lack a good understanding. Spent most of my life on DOS then windows. I'm just now trying to get the basics of python and json. I'll see if I can find some better information on button mapper and play with it a little more. Using the ts4k remote with the new Google tv would be great if all the buttons worked. Personally I like the feel of the ts4k remote much more than the sofabaton. And now tivo even sells them separately
