Supported Devices Guide

This guide provides a list of tested and recommended devices that are compatible with the ADTH NextGen TV USB tuner. Devices are evaluated based on their support for ATSC 1.0 and ATSC 3.0 standards.

Field Descriptions

• Brand: The manufacturer of the device (e.g., Sony, TCL, Chromecast).

• Device Name: Commercial name or product line (e.g., Fire TV Stick 4K).

• Model Number: Specific model identifier.

• OS/Platform: What system the device runs on (e.g., Android TV, Google TV, Fire OS).

• ATSC 1.0 Support: Whether it can display ATSC 1.0 channels via the tuner.

• ATSC 3.0 Support: Whether it can display ATSC 3.0 (NextGen TV) channels via the tuner.

• Notes: Any special notes (e.g., “Requires app update”, “Limited to 720p output”, etc.).

Additional Notes

1. Devices not listed here may simply not have been tested yet.
   This list will be updated over time as more devices are evaluated.

2. ATSC 1.0 and ATSC 3.0 support is based on the device’s hardware decoding capabilities.
   However, even if the device itself cannot decode certain formats, it may still work through passthrough, allowing an external speaker or receiver to handle the decoding.

3. Devices must support USB OTG (On-The-Go) functionality and allow permission access to external USB tuners.

4. Some devices may require a firmware or app update.

If ATSC 1.0 channels play but ATSC 3.0 channels do not

This is the most common outcome on a device that is not a good match, and it is not a fault in the tuner. ATSC 1.0 and ATSC 3.0 use different codecs, and the decoding is done by your device rather than by the tuner. ATSC 3.0 needs your device to decode HEVC (H.265) video and Dolby AC-4 audio. A device that lacks AC-4 in particular will usually scan and list NextGen TV channels, and then fail to play them, while ATSC 1.0 channels keep working normally.

The NextGen TV Test app checks this before you connect the tuner, and it is the quickest way to tell the difference between a device limitation and a signal problem.

If the tuner is not detected at all

Your device needs a working USB port with USB OTG support, and it must allow apps to access an external USB tuner. Some devices also need a firmware or app update first, and some older models cannot run the ADTH TV app at all.

If your device is not in the table above, please tell us the exact make and model and what you see. We will tell you what we know about that model, and add it to this table as devices are tested.
