The essence of the problem is that when you select a text field on Android TV boxes only in the RealDash application, the virtual keyboard is not displayed.  
I understand that this is not the fault of RD, but still, maybe someone had the opportunity to overcome this problem?

Maybe you can try to install another virtual keyboard like gboard from Play Store?
