Side Ports


While setting up box Google play etc performance feels ok Ethernet Good, Apps loading in fast
The Android side of this feel on par so far with other test I have done on S912 Boxes

Bench testing to come will see how it all goes

[trebor]

Look at UI and system much the same as the rest Android 6, does have Root and option to enable lower task bar if required.

Simple Mecool UI

As mentioned performance on par with other S912 media players so should do most to keep the user happy on the Android side.

That's the easy part done now let's check out all about the TV side of this box.
A separate app to run called DTV, will check it out to how good it can be for FTA TV.
No Satellite stuff here to check.

More to come.

[trebor]

Ran up the DTV app select Auto scan Hmm nothing...Ok help if we plug the TV antenna in first
And Second need to set the Media Player up to Australia found in DTV Preference



Scanned and all channels found easy.
100% Sig and Quality, using Log periodic type antenna about 30k from the TV towers (bit of wet string would prolly do)




Picture Quality looks ok
Time between channel change 2~3 second failry quick
EPG looks ok easy to read, other functions to set up PVR Time Record, Channel Sort, Favorites, Parental Control
Easy as.
I find the Remote is Designed more for the TV/Sat function of the box than Normal Android.
I normally use the k400 logitech with android it not a problem here, other may find it a problem.

First thing get greeted with when running the DTV App


Menu to Select Country/Region, select DVT Preference


ONce set back to Installation and scan


Easy


EPG from Remote


All features selected are overlayed a top of the TV Image,
Was not able to snap TV Images only overlays at this stage.
All funtions are access from remote.

ON Screen Display (dark room picture lights out)


Edit Channel List


PVR Settings


PVR Storage Device


Favorite Channel to be added


Channel info and Sub titles


And a little music if the FTA gets to much


There is a little about the TV function easy as really if you have a spare PC monitor
and need a FTA this is an option to consider.
More to come as I find it

Nothing supernatural on the basis of factory firmware, production by template, oh yeah, launcher normal

[trebor]

Sorry
Don't get your point ?

[Balanga]

I've been waiting to hear about one of these for a long time. Is it worth buying? And how much should I pay?

I'm currently running a Vigica C90.
