Definitely hi-end...
they've added the crazy sought-after "system-activation"
~ Zowie?! It's on the "buy" list.

[ClarkKent]

Full size SD card? And 1 of each... 2.0 & 3.0 usb, whilst using the 2.0 to comm with the remote?
Different, strange.

[trebor]

Can't have small, and lots of ports TF Card,
They have things call USB Hubs, any one who is one, at least has ONE

Well it all fired up well as expected, WiFi and Ethernet all good here
Connections to the Internet, Googles and setup no worries
Installed a few testers and away we go:
Ram Speed Looking Good
We have Root
DRM L1
Antutu ok for the CPU we are using
Temps Cool

Anyone got idea of how to improve the 5g WiFi performance ? Because my router is quite a distance away, I only managed to get about 1 Mbps, compared to another box which I have which gives 50 Mbps.

Anyone mod the board to add external antenna ?

Hi, I have a problem with HDR10+ video files (SMPTE ST 2094) on my GT1-mini2, since my TV propably don't support HDR10+ it should fallback to HDR10 (this happens when i'm using internal player from my TV) but it doesn't work at all on GT1mini2 and presents "washed/grayed" colours, official spec state that this box support HDR10+. All HDR10 videos (SMPTE ST 2086) works well, and by the way, if i open HDR10+ file the HDR feature breaks and my TV isn't triggering HDR mode even for the "normal" HDR10 until i replug HDMI cable/change resolution etc.
I'm posting a link to HDR10+ sample so you could try for yourself:

Did you try it on the Poison TV ATV ROM to see if there is any difference ? 

[cckelly73]

I have try it,no difference.

[mctiew]

I have try it,no difference.

Quite disappointed. I got feedback that the codec of this box is bad !

The author of the netflix kodi plugin has given up hope on it, it can't decode basic video on netflix properly.

Anyone knows of a way to temporarily disable the L1 DRM and subsequent after testing, revert it back ?
