## What it is
Utao TV (油桃TV, now upgraded to 土拨鼠浏览器) is a third-party browser designed for Android TV boxes and smart TVs that lets users watch live CCTV/satellite TV streams and browse mainstream video platforms (iQiyi, Tencent Video, Bilibili, Youku) without buying separate TV-tier VIP memberships. It is built on a Firefox WebExtension-based core adapted to X5/WebView kernels, paired with a companion phone remote app for input and control.

## Use cases
- watch CCTV and satellite TV live streams on Android TV for free
- play iQiyi or Tencent Video on TV using a mobile VIP account instead of a TV membership
- bypass casting restrictions that force TV-tier subscriptions for HD
- browse video websites on a TV with remote-control-friendly navigation
- auto-fullscreen video playback with episode selection and quality switching on TV
- use a phone as keyboard and touchpad to control a TV browser

## When to choose
- you have an Android TV or box and want live TV and web video without paying for TV-tier VIPs
- your mobile/PC video membership should work on the big screen without casting limits
- you want a remote-friendly browser with auto-fullscreen playback on a TV

## When to avoid
- your TV or box is low-powered or runs Android below 9 - iQiyi and Tencent pages will lag or fail
- you need guaranteed compatibility on Android 4.x - many platforms break on the old X5 kernel
- you expect a polished UI or commercial support - the project is free, non-commercial, and has UI work pending
