I'm considering replacing my ageing Sony Google TV box with HDMI-in (s far as I know the only genuine Google TV/Android TV box with HDMI-in and proper PiP) with it's Android Honeycomb with something more modern both in terms of hardware and software.
I'm considering Zidoo X9S, Eweat R9 and Beelink SEA and it seems that Zidoo X9S:
1. Has dedicated PiP button
2. Gets software updates
3. Is mid-range in price
So looks like a winner to me (unless you can assign various PiP actions to any Beelink remote button).
My questions (to those who actually own Zidoo X9S) are:
1. If it’s in a stand-by mode, can it just relay audio-video from HDMI in?
2. Does it switch or can it be made to switch between PiP (main screen Zidoo, PiP — hdmi-in) and full-screen HDMI-in by push of physical button on the remote it comes with?
I have a real Android TV box and I much prefer the genuine Android TV experience to all those regular Android boxes and most of the time I want to run Plex client on my Android TV box without even switching Zidoo on.
Zidoo comes to play is when I’m watching a game on my Android TV box and want to switch it to PiP during intermissions or if the game is boring, so then I’d like to run Plex client on Zidoo and have a game in a small picture with an option to put it to the foreground (and back) with a press of a button on the remote.
If anyone is using their Zidoo or any of the other boxes I listed up top for this or similar purposes, please reply.
