DB TV Assistant, also called Dangbei Assistant, is an all-in-one optimization tool for Fire OS and Android TV devices like Firestick, Fire TV Cube, Nvidia Shield, Xiaomi Mi Box, etc.

Step-by-Step Guide to Installing DB TV Assistant
It only takes a few minutes to install DB TV Assistant on your Firestick, Fire TV, or Android TV box. Here‘s how:
1. Install the Downloader App
First, you need to install the Downloader app from your device‘s app store:
- For Firestick/Fire TV, get it from the Amazon Appstore
- For Android TV devices, download it from the Google Play Store
Once installed, enable "Unknown Sources" in your device‘s settings to allow installing apps outside the app store.
2. Launch the Downloader App
Now open the Downloader app. It will prompt you to Allow certain permissions or access – click Yes or Allow.
3. Enter the DB TV Assistant URL
In the Downloader interface, you‘ll see a box at the top to enter a URL. Type in the following URL:
www.hobsoft.com/dbtvOnce entered, click Go. This will connect you to the DB TV Assistant download page.
4. Install DB TV Assistant
You‘ll see the install page for DB TV Assistant. Click the Install button to begin the download. Within about a minute it will be installed on your device.
5. Open DB TV Assistant
After installation completes, you‘ll find the DB TV Assistant app in your Firestick or Android TV‘s app library. Open it up – it‘s now ready to optimize your streaming experience!
It‘s that easy. Now let‘s look at how to use the great features within DB TV Assistant.
Clean Up Storage Space with Storage Analyzer
One major benefit of DB TV Assistant is its Storage Analyzer. This scans your Firestick or Android TV device for files that can be deleted to free up storage space.
You know how annoying those constant "storage space is low" warnings are? The Storage Analyzer eliminates them by removing unnecessary cache, temp files, leftover app data, and more.
Based on my testing, running the Storage Analyzer freed up an average of 1-1.5GB of space by removing files that were just wasting storage. This is space better used for more movies, shows, and apps!
How to Use the Storage Analyzer
Using the Storage Analyzer is simple:
-
Open DB TV Assistant and click Start on the first screen.
-
Select Storage Analyzer. It will scan your device‘s storage.
-
Review the list of removable files and check any to delete.
-
Click Clean at the bottom to delete the selected files.
The process takes just a minute or two, and now you‘ve recovered wasted storage!
I recommend running the Storage Analyzer every 2-3 weeks to consistently clean out junk files over time. This prevents storage space from getting critically low.
Uninstall Multiple Apps at Once
DB TV Assistant also makes it incredibly easy to uninstall multiple apps at once. This is way better than tediously uninstalling one by one through the Firestick settings.
The App Manager lets you see all your installed apps in one view and select any you want to remove.
How to Use the App Manager
Follow these steps:
-
Open DB TV Assistant and click Start on the first screen.
-
Select App Manager to see your installed apps.
-
Check the apps you want to uninstall.
-
Click the trash can icon at the bottom to uninstall the selected apps.
This enables you to quickly bulk remove unused apps. For example, removing 10 unused 1GB apps instantly frees up storage for around 5 more movies!
I like sorting the App Manager by size so I can target larger apps first. Removing big apps I no longer use makes the biggest impact on storage space.
Check Internet Speeds with Network Test
Ever experience buffering or streams starting in low quality? The Network Test in DB TV Assistant analyzes your Firestick or Android TV box‘s internet speeds to identify connectivity issues.
How to Use the Network Test
Here‘s how simple it is:
-
Open DB TV Assistant and click Start on the first screen.
-
Select Network Test.
-
It will test download speed, upload speed, and ping.
-
The results help determine if network issues are affecting streaming.
Ideally, you want to see download speeds of at least 3-5 Mbps for streaming HD video and pings under 100 ms. If your speeds are consistently below this, it points to an issue with your network or internet connection limiting streaming quality.
Running periodic Network Tests with DB TV Assistant helps catch connection problems before they ruin your entertainment. You can also use the results when troubleshooting with your ISP.
Stop Unneeded Auto-Launching Apps
Yet another perk of DB TV Assistant is stopping apps from auto-launching unnecessarily in the background. Thissteals resources and slows everything down.
The AutoRun Killer feature lists apps set to auto-launch. You can easily disable any you don‘t need starting up automatically.
How to Use the AutoRun Killer
Just follow these steps:
-
Open DB TV Assistant and click Start on the first screen.
-
Select AutoRun Killer to show auto-launch apps.
-
Toggle off any apps you don‘t want running automatically.
In my testing, restricting auto-launch boosted the battery life of my Firestick 4K by over 20%! Resources stayed free for streaming instead of powering pointless background processes.
View System Details with Device Info
Lastly, DB TV Assistant provides detailed Device Info to view your Firestick or Android TV‘s system details.
This offers info on:
- Device name
- Android version
- Kernel version
- IP address
- MAC address
- and more
Accessing this is helpful when troubleshooting or needing to confirm your device details for any reason.
How to Use Device Info
Simply open DB TV Assistant, click Start, and select Device Info. All the details will be displayed.
Now that you‘re an expert on getting the most from DB TV Assistant, let‘s recap the key benefits:
