I will not surprise anyone that the most common use I made of USB ports of my intelligent television was to connect a USB memory or a hard drive to play music, series and films and only with that, I was already happy. He is of me: USB photos are much moreEspecially if you are clear on which type they are.
Because with the USB ports of your Android TV, you can do a lot of things, but at the time of truth, one thing is theory and another reality. Come on, one thing is to know and another has put it into practice. Well, there is Simple and practical uses of USB ports that saved my life (metaphorically speaking) on certain occasions.
In a room with a few traffic jams, it's a lifeguard
Fountain, it happened to me in a hotel that there is barely a cap or two in sight and are in uncomfortable places. And the same thing in old accommodation. Here The USB from the TV in service allowed me to load the mobile while using the other for other needs. He instructs it slowly, but less is nothing.
To install applications that are not on Google Play Store

With a web browser application and a file explorer can be done on my smart TV, but it seems to me Much faster, lower the application to my computer, put it in a USB And then pass it on television.
To save content
During social networks and applications, it is not enough and simple to do it: Save it in a USB. But anyone is worth it: it must have sufficient capacity, to do it in a compatible file system which is USB 3.0 or more at speed.
To update software on any problem or without internet
If you have an Android TV like mine, a basic range and an entrance range, or simply a veteran, you will already know that the experience of using the interface can become desperate. My solution is therefore to minimize it and advance everything that can in other devices. This is the case with Update drivers, firmware or software in short. If you don't have the internet or do not happen, more of the same thing: you lower the file on the PC and put it in a USN memory, then go to TV and install it.
Everything is better with a keyboard and a mouse
The usual thing is to connect a storage unit, but it is not the only peripheral or computer accessory that can be connected and some are the most useful. Without going further, I have an old wireless keyboard that works with an adapter to which I give you a second life on television. I generally do not write much on my smart television, but To navigate or put passwords, doing words of letter is a pain and a keyboard comes from the cinema. And the same can be done with a mouse.
