Today I visited shop and tried samsung and sony android TV. talkback was
working fine on samsung but on sony talkback loaded without speech. there
may be some tts related issue. there is one advantage on samsung tv that
you
need not to attach settop box on it. instead samsung is providing a slot
to
insert your dth card in the tv. once your subscription be activated, you
can
access all the features of your dth service.

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.
Regards,
Vinod Benjamin
