Frequently Asked Questions

What is Android TV management?

Android TV management is the use of an MDM to enroll, configure, lock down, update, and monitor Android TV devices (smart displays, set-top boxes, and signage players) from one console. The MDM manages the device; a signage or media app handles the content.

Which Android TV devices does Bento MDM support?

Bento manages Android TV devices that run Google-certified Android TV or AOSP Android TV and support Android Enterprise device-owner enrollment, including Android TV signage players and set-top boxes from supported OEMs. Management depth varies by OEM, and deeper hardware controls depend on the OEM exposing them. Note that Samsung commercial displays (Tizen) and LG commercial displays (webOS) do not run Android TV and are managed differently. Confirm device coverage with our team for your specific hardware.

How is this different from Digital Signage Management?

Android TV Management is the platform view: managing any Android TV device, including hospitality TVs, set-top boxes, and meeting-room displays. Digital Signage Management is the use-case view: running signage across Android, iOS, and Windows players with content scheduling. For a signage deployment, see the Digital Signage Management page.

Can Bento lock an Android TV device to a single app?

Yes. Using Android COSU dedicated-device mode, Bento locks the device to one approved app and disables the launcher, settings, and other apps, so the screen shows only what IT approves.

How does Bento keep Android TV devices online?

Kiosk lockdown prevents accidental exits, app auto-restart recovers crashes, scheduled reboots refresh devices overnight, and connectivity monitoring alerts IT when a device goes offline, so many issues are caught before they affect viewers.

How much does Android TV management cost?

It is included in Bento MDM at EUR 1 per device per month, with kiosk lockdown, automatic enrollment, scheduled reboots, remote view, monitoring, and offline caching. A fleet of 100 Android TV devices costs EUR 100 per month.

Every Android TV device. One console.

Running signage players, set-top boxes, or in-room displays? Bento enrolls, locks down, and monitors your Android TV fleet from one place, with kiosk lockdown and remote view built in.
