I got this device:
Point of View Smart TV
Annoyingly this listing is for the standard version (non-Bluetooth) but when I picked mine up from Maplin it turned out to be the version with a built-in Bluetooth (full part number TV-HDMI-200BT V1.0.) Nice surprise I guess but I wonder if there's a mixture of stock in the stores so be careful!
Anyway, as plenty of other people have pointed out the POV firmware is rubbish. Some of the apps I have from my Nexus 7 either don't work or have blank video Thankfully there are forums like this to give me hope
I got hold of POV's firmware update tool (standard RKBatchTool.exe) and went through the steps but substituted for the latest RK802IIIS firmware (marked for the IIIS 4G & 8G) and wow! much better, all my apps work okay now
Unfortunately, one small problem: the Bluetooth isn't showing up any more If it comes to it I'll just substitute the supplied Bluetooth keyboard which is a bit meh anyway but it'd be nice to get it running as all the branding matches
So, I eyeballed the RK802IIISB firmware and wondered if the 'B' was for Bluetooth. It also says it's for the 8G version and I'm pretty sure the POVs (either model) are only 4G.
Should I try the RK802IIISB anyway? Could it brick my device? Any custom ROM some kind person would like to recommend for the POV?
Thanks for your time.
Andy
