Not a bad looking Unit and the startup was good
Google login etc, update and installed Apps easy
Don't forget to update Google Services

Flashy Intro

WiFi, Ethernet and BT do as they should.
Upper Notification and Lower task bars.
An Adjustable Root nice to see.
Test results are much the same as the mini version of the unit.
Temps a little warmer than mini, maybe there has been come creative CPU tweaking.

Alice UX is looking good, and great to see something creative.
Not sure if you can replace the back drop Image as yet, did not look.

Netflix 1080p and 4K requires Widevine L1. This is not supported by S905W

It has nothing to do with the soc. This one supports L1 DRM.

It has nothing to do with the soc. This one supports L1 DRM.

Does not support L1, confirmed by Amlogic 3 times.

As I know there is only one device mounting S905W and supporting L1. Curiously the producer is not allowed to purchase this SoC from Amlogic (only 4 companies can). I (and others) have my own idea about what is happening there, but as I said before, I am not going to talk more about this (not easy to proof).

Are you talking about m8s pro w?

Hello I acquired several, but I have only tried 1. The problem is that the Play Store can not be updated, I tried from the App in configuration it starts to download but it is not installed, also download several from apkmirror and tell me what is damaged archive. I do not know if it's TVBox's problem but they delay in advancing the downloads of the Play Store. Someone who has it and help me, thanks.

[Bileygr666]

I want to install Unkilled but it gives me the error 495 already erase the data and the cache of the Play Store. The TVBox can send but not receive files via Bluetooth, I'll have to do more tests.
