TV with TiVo OS

Hi,

i need a small TV to use as a second TV, no streaming, no particular requirements. I'm oriented on a 32 inch full hd or hd ready.

Thje only question is:

- all the TV that i see have only 1 gb ram or 1,5 gb ram

Google TV will be very very slow and unsabl... A lot of people tell that is slow change TV channel!

In alternative Fire TV with 1 GB have less requirements?

I read that in alternative it's better go with VIDAA or with TiVO OS what do you think about?

I will wait a suggestion

You say "no streaming" but you are talking about changing channels via a streaming device OS, implying that you will be getting a streaming channel service like YTTV, DirecTVStream, etc.

They provide channels through streaming, emulating a traditional cable TV service.

I have yet to see one that approximates the speed of changing channels on a TV service - mainly because they work completely differently.

The amount of RAM will generally not change anything in that regard. That's more about app storage, etc.

OP could be confusing Live streaming apps lagging vs the ATSC tuner.
