What the labels mean

  • Deep tune-up The device lets us change a lot: speed, clutter, a custom home screen, kiosk mode for businesses.
  • Settings tune-up The maker locks the system. We work with the settings it allows: picture, apps, privacy, parental controls, captions, big text. Or we add a stick.
  • Light help We set up the TV around the device, not the device itself.

All TVs and devices

Generic TV with a small stick plugged into the side, and a slim remote with a microphone button at the top and a round arrow ring.

Amazon Fire TV Stick and Fire TV Cube

Deep tune-up
What it is
Sticks plug into the back of your TV. The Cube is a small square box. Also built into some TVs, like Insignia and Toshiba Fire TV Edition sets.
How to recognize it
Thin remote with a round ring for arrows and a blue or mint microphone button at the top. Home screen says "Fire TV" with a row of big app tiles. To check: Settings, then My Fire TV (or Device & Software), then About.
What we can do
Speed tune-up, remove clutter and ads where settings allow, custom home screen (launcher), kiosk mode for businesses, parental controls, captions and bigger text. Note: the Fire TV Stick 4K Select and newer Fire TV Sticks run Amazon's Vega OS instead of the older Android-based Fire OS. Vega only allows apps from the Amazon Appstore, so a custom home screen and outside apps are not possible on those. We can still do settings, app cleanup, parental controls, and accessibility.
Generic flat oval streaming box, and a small oval remote with an arrow ring and a microphone button.

Google TV (Google TV Streamer, Chromecast with Google TV, onn. Google TV boxes)

Deep tune-up

How to recognize it
Small oval remote with a round arrow ring, a microphone button, and a YouTube and Netflix button. Home screen has tabs at the top: "For you", "Movies", "Shows". To check: Settings, then System, then About.

Android TV and Google TV built into TVs (Sony, TCL, Hisense, Philips, many projectors)

Deep tune-up (most models)
What it is
The smart system is inside the TV itself. Many TCL, Hisense, Sony, and Philips TVs, and many home projectors, use it.
How to recognize it
Remote often has a Google Assistant or microphone button and app buttons. Home screen looks like Google TV (tabs at the top) or older Android TV (rows of apps). To check: Settings, then System or Device Preferences, then About. Some TCL and Hisense TVs use Roku or other systems instead, so check the home screen.
What we can do
Usually the same as Google TV: speed tune-up, hide clutter, custom home screen, kiosk mode, parental controls, accessibility. Some TV brands lock parts of this, so we confirm on your model first.

Who we help

Kids and families

Kids profiles, parental PINs on purchases and mature shows, screen-time limits where the device has them, and a home screen with just the kids' apps.

Teens and gamers

Game mode and low-delay settings, the right HDMI port and settings for your console, and a fast, clutter-free streaming setup.

Adults and cord-cutters

Fewer subscriptions to juggle, live TV apps set up, better picture, less tracking and fewer ads where the settings allow it.

Seniors

Big text, captions, a simple home screen with only a few apps, and fewer remotes where your TV supports it. We go slow and write down the steps for you.
