Tiny PROBLEM;

If there is any USB Stick connected to the M8 Unit do NOT Turn OFF ... Screen goes dark but Blue LED is always ON...

Many Thanks to Geekbuying [/QUOTE]

I didn't have this issue and had a usb Stick connected. Make sure there is no background activities and specially XBMC. btw, did yours have XBMC or you installed it separately?

Yep u r Right I've had 2 usb stick attached... tried with a single usb and No problem about shutdown...

XBMC 13.1 comes with the new FW

I was thinking 720p problem was related to Kernel but I've tried the New XBMC application with LifeForce Rom and No more 720p problem

Thank you. I couldn't find XBMC on mine. I think it is because I flashed on top of finless 1.6 which originally didn't have xbmc and I didn't use the tooth pick method. I will try reflashing with the tooth pick method

Is this 13.1 FINAL? if so
Will you need to re-install all addons?

Hmmmm guess I will have to make a ROM from this.

Just to confirm that this version works great!

Does this have the fix for DTS audio? No matter what firmware I use I cant get DTS
