Dear friends, regarding this , I came across a settop box "Re TV" were it converts our usual tv into smart android tv, let me check the details and share it here, I had stumbled on a youtube presentation in tamil. let me check with the company and let you know . this tv Box ,seems to be working in Lollypop version. so I am assuming with less cost , we may have talk back also enabled.
