I own a box and it's just on the "OK" side of things. Using Nova launcher, output 720p because more wasn't usable on several streaming sites. Wifi is bad but stable if close enough to router. Short range and slow 10-20Mbit/s 5m from router. Even with Ethernet cable I can't get the 100Mbit, more like 80-85. (fiber hookup). Streams often start with bad quality, and might need 10s or stop/start to to kick into higher.

USB ports, not sure what's going on there. Tried to copy a 1.5GB file usb to internal memory and speed was 150 Kb/s.. Had a few crashes, almost random. App might crash but start again and do same action, now it works. Google photo app crashed to name one. Had one big crash, box died and rebooted while playing a video file via Kodi. And pre-rooted means I can't use all apps, some settings in dev-options crash the box. it's like they picked a firmware by random and forced it onto the hardware!

On the positive, it's pretty fast, didn't cost too much and doing what I bought it for. But I hope they release a new firmware (Got my box Dec 22, pre-loaded with 1.0.0.2). Looks like manufacturer is here https://zkmagic.en.alibaba.com/conta...2b902dad0jghmM and on facebook https://www.facebook.com/ZkmagicTVBOX/

I replaced the horrible internal antenna which sometimes would drop below 5 mbit download speed. Internal design is basically just a bit of tape with some copper on it. Soldered on external omni-directional antenna from old router and now get much better and stable wifi. But max out at about 36 Down and 43 Up. Not close to 150 Mbit as advertised. Btw I contacted the manufacturer but they showed no interest in trying to support end user.

some news about this box? any new firmware or an port?

[rix81]

does anybody knows how to disable noise reduction? It's active on SD videos with system or hw decoder(not hw+), HD videos are probably unaffected

Do I neet to unplug power during flashing process ? It is not obvious to me if the box must be powered by charger or only by USB, during the flashing mode. I'll be gratefull for some tips.
