Tonight, I tried streaming. I couldn't get the TV to load the SmartCast interface or any apps. Determined it forgot my WiFi password. I enter it, it fails to connect. A hard power cycle and another 2 attempts at entering my password, it finally connects fully and lets me open an app. I get no more than 30 seconds into an Amazon Prime show and it disconnects and dumps me back to the not connected screen.
Rinse and repeat 3 more times before I give up and eat my cold dinner. I was searching online to see if anyone else was having problems with this update but I can't find anyone who's talking about this update. Vizio's firmware search seems to be reporting the latest firmware is only 2. So now my question is: am I unluckily on the bleeding edge and Vizio's website hasn't caught up? Or did my TV somehow grab a non-released firmware? I plan to try a factory reset tonight but I'm dreading re-entering all my passwords.
If that doesn't solve it, I downloaded the 2. Just had the Stream 4K delivered. I was a little worried over the weekend as the first impressions posted here were less than flattering. I felt kinda silly for jumping on this deal right away without waiting for reviews. I just got done setting it up and figured I would give my own first impressions and field some questions. For context, I am a big Android TV fan and have used most other streaming platforms at least in passing Apple TV is probably what I'm least familiar with.
I'm reasonably happy with both in their respective roles. The MiBox loses connection sometimes and will struggle with certain content, but I'm sure that's more due to the fact that it is on the other side of the house and I need to get another access point to really blanket my place.
The Stream 4K is going in a similarly tricky WiFi area: much closer to the main Nest WiFi, but enclosed in a build out and there's a large stone fireplace located directly between it and the router. The SmartCast built in the TV struggled to play things at an acceptable resolution if at all. A Chromecast Ultra did much better from this area but couldn't stream Stadia.
Anyways, I plugged everything in and got started. I had a couple weird hiccups connecting the remote. I would press the back and TiVo button to connect and it would. I would start to move through the set up and it would ask me to connect the remote again.
It never lost my spot, but it did that 3 times. I never had another issue with remote connection since then so Moving along the set up, I tried to copy my account with my smartphone. I have never had good luck with this, with any of my devices. This was no exception. After waiting 5 minutes for it to "copy your account" I abandoned ship and just entered my credentials manually like always. I always wondered if others had similar experiences with that.
Once through the initial set up, it wanted to download an update. I think it was about mb. It took forever. I was starting to worry that my WiFi out here just wasn't going to hack it. But it finished eventually and restarted. Boot time seems fairly quick. Not instan. But, there is something I'm a bit confused about. I have an older smart tv, a Vizio. Is there a reason for that? The physical remote that came with it has no menu button so i used the SmartCast app on my phone. Can it be fixed?
I can not seem to find any option to download new apps or update the system. This is a great set and a great price, I got it for this price on CyberMonday last year and I don't think I've seen it cheaper. This is a great display and it's amazing what I'm getting out of it for the price. This is the M65 8 , Vizio makes this in two other cheaper models M65 7 and M65 6 and those are less bright and have fewer dimming zones.
You want this one. I paired this with an AppleTV 4k and it's a great match. I have it running through my stereo for 5. Still loving it!!! Supports AirPlay 2 and I believe it's supposed to eventually get the AppleTV app, but that's still going to be limited compared to a dedicated streaming device like the AppleTV 4k. I'm NOT certain if it's the same price in the store or if this is on-line only. Yes, you need a Costco membership, but you're saving a lot on this still, plus they'll ship it for free this wouldn't fit in my car!
I would like to give a summary about what I learned and open the discussion on some more specific advice regarding blocking of tracking by the TV. I am happy to update this post later with your input, so it can be a starting point for people who want to buy a new TV!
Two nights ago my Smartcast apps started getting really slow. Netflix would take 20 seconds to load and then keep buffering. Now I can barely get it to load at all.
Amazon will take long to load too. I have it three feet from the router. I run an eero mesh network, and the TV has always been superfast on that network. Suddenly it's barely showing any speed. All other devices are fine. Other Smart TV is fine. Haven't changed anything on my end with the setup. The native menu is slow. Even reset factory settings, which is a pain in the butt, and nothing. Tried custom setting DNS issues and both eco and Anyone else having this issue?
