TV Box

TV boxes in Bangladesh

A TV box is a small player you connect when the television has no apps, or when the apps built into the set have become too slow to live with. It does not replace the television, and it does not replace the TV remote that operates the set’s own volume. The box brings the apps and the picture. The TV still has to turn on, switch to the right input, and make the sound.

A box is a small computer. Storage, memory, the ports, and the remote that comes with it decide whether it is pleasant a year from now. The photo of a black square does not. JananiMart BD lists boxes here so they are not mixed into the remote categories.

What a TV box needs

A free HDMI port

Almost every current box expects HDMI. The television needs a free port, and you select that input with the TV’s own buttons or with a TV remote that can change input. An older set that only has AV needs that problem solved first. A box cannot invent a port. If you are buying the handset at the same time, it still has to be the handset for the television, not a second copy of the box remote.

Storage and memory

A box that only plays files from a USB drive is a different product from a box that runs an app store. Apps need storage and memory. A unit that is tight on both will open slowly. More storage does not make a weak internet line faster. The house still needs a router. The box joins the network you already have, by cable or by Wi-Fi. If phones already lose the signal in that room, the box will lose it too.

What is in the carton

The remote for the box, the power adapter, and the HDMI lead should be named in the contents. A box without its own remote is stuck on the first screen unless you had another way to control it. Do not expect the television remote to run the box.

What a box will not do

It will not receive local antenna channels unless the listing says it has a tuner, which a normal app box does not. It will not repair a panel that has no picture. It has nothing to do with an AC remote. Sound comes through the television or a separate speaker. Private listening is a headphone or an earphone on the device that is actually playing.
