Very informative video. Looking good. That Minix launcher looks pretty usable.

Shipping confirmation, yay (well, actually now the painful part begins )

I'm pretty psyched right now. I also ordered parts for a DIY hardware project. A tiny little "companion" screen (with some buttons) for TV-boxes so that notifications and other information can be passed to it. That way, the TV does not need to be on just to check the status of the box. Also, playback controls.

So obviously I can't wait until all these new toys arrive

What is this -companion-

What is this -companion-

I just meant to indicate that it works together with android (-> or the TV Box) and depends on it. But it does not bring new functionality that's not already there. It's just there for convenience.

It's basically just a small OLED display, some buttons and a microcontroller which connects to the box via USB. There has to be an app which tells the microcontroller what to display. It's going to be pretty exciting (especially since I'm not exactly experienced with any of the tasks involved )

I might make a thread with my progress if people are interested.

[Arbelzapf]

I'll send you a pm so we don't derail the thread

Just got mine today

Wow that's fast.

I think I'd be lucky to get mine within the next 2 weeks
At least that's the time shipments from China usually take: Somewhere between 2 weeks and 1,5 months.

Express shipping would probably have helped, but if I have a chance to evade customs by waiting longer, that's what I choose.

Played around with mine a bit. It's nice having everything work right out of the box.

Impressions?

I see that a few people are getting their X8-H boxes..... anyone want to offer some quick impressions? Playback of 1080p video nice and smooth? Any problems with lag? Audio sync? I checked DHL's tracking and mine should be here maybe tomorrow or Thursday..........can't wait!

- Also, if Miracast, AirPlay (Screen Mirroring from iPhone/Mac), WiDi work out-of-the-box or not?
- Any stutter when playing 1080p videos from USB drive (.mkv, .mov, .rmvb, .avi, .mpg formats)?
