What is the difference between the H1 and H2 versions?

[trebor]

Apart from some Paint been spilt on the top of this by the looks and the price nothing obvious as yet.
Don't know exactly what's on the inside, could be different maker or same.
Just a point of difference I guess

[JJJackson]

I know some version of other boxes have different chips, like the 905x and 905w. I'm guessing this is a clone, but I'd like to know for sure before I spend my money. It looks like a monster for the money.

Clone, Hmmm

As there are many makers in China they often make the same box...
Sometimes with same parts
Sometimes with cheaper parts or what is available at the time.

Trouble is who is the Clone and who in the original as they all copy each other
Makes for fun time

I tried to unroot so DirecTVNow would run and there are some parts of root left behind I can't seem to remove since SU is now uninstalled. Does anyone have a link to factory image or know how I can remove all the parts of root?

Hi, i have several H96 Max H2 (colorfull edition), as reviews were good i thought let's try those.

They are the worst ever, crash continously, randomly shut down after minutes (yes shut down with no lights anymore, hard reset is then needed).
Get's really hot.

Now i'm trying to find a newer rom for it, perhaps the problems are related to the stock rom on it (as the problem occurs with 3 devices), i cam across the update mentioned above, will test and report back.
Hope someone will make a custom rom for it.

My H96 Max also shuts down randomly and it's annoying as hell.
