Hi all

I'm having come discomfort with the HDMI interface of the box. Namely, whenever I click on menu item, or I select the field for keyboard entry, there is change of the display mode and my LCD TV (Sony 757 LED TV) displays the channel info mode (i.e. HDMI2: connected M8S Pro L, 1080p.....) which covers the screen and I need to wait to disapear. It happens with every click and it's not nice to wait for the info to go away.

Changing the HDMI mode (1080p to 720p, or the refresh rate doesn't help).

TV is working fine with other TV boxes with same resolution/mode, and this happens with different HDMI cables...

Any ideas?

Sounds like your TV is wanting to setup information about that device that is NOW using HDMI 2. Go into your TV settings and assign this device to that HDMI input, that should solve that issue. I had a similar situation.

I searched and I think that the issue is not the HDMI and video resolution, but the sound. The info bar is displayed only when the TV box sends stereo sounds. I disabled system sounds and the situation is now improved. Everyone with a Sony LED tv would experience the same problem, so a bit of tips and tricks

I had similar issue when I was using HDMI CEC. Disabling it solved the problem.

Is the AndroidTV version of the Netflix app allow offline viewing? (Downloading episodes)

No, it does not. The download function is for mobile devices so they can download the media from a WiFi connection and watch when not WiFi is available.

Yes, I understand. I would like to watch episodes when I don't have internet access.

Is it possible to also, in same time, install the mobile version of the Netflix App?

Hi I'm new to this site. I was looking for info on my TV box. I have a Mecool BB2 Pro. I don't see much (any) info. Is this box pretty much obsolete or what? Is it an inferior box? I see a LOT of posts for the M8. Is that one vastly superior? Thanks in advance for educating me! :-)

When I bought my Mecool BB2 Pro, I thought it sounded pretty robust with it's Octacore AM Logic processor and all. Is the M8S Pro L that much better? I just asking 'cause it seems like the one everyone is talking about.

That is a hard question to answer.

I ask because when searching the posts here, the vast majority of posts are about the Mecool M8S Pro L . Is that because it's a newer model? When comparing the specs, the BB2 Pro seems to have similar if not identical specs more or less. I'm satisfied with my purchase.Both models are pretty cheap actually. I don't see how you can go wrong considering you can pick these up for under $30. I've made more expensive mistakes in my day! I value the opinions of other users so let me know your thoughts, please.
thanks,
