is a very nice android box but...
or maybe you have the DVB application of the KI PRO, for example?
Try DVB Stack, available on the play store
---------- Post added at 11:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:59 PM ----------
I order one of this box.... i already download the atv firmware for the mecool mkii to try.... but i think with the atvxperience firmware and the DVB Stack app i will have acces to the tuner.... I'm gonna test and give you feedback (sorry for mybad english)
Any success
Did you managed to flash the firmware?

Hello
I bought a couple of these boxes and for the price they cost they work very well.
I think we need to improve the software that manages the TV tuner a bit and I'm trying to find an APK that can do it better than the software installed.
I used Enigma 2 (Linux) for a long time and it had a fantastic interface.
I skip a few pages on internet sites I discovered that an owner has installed Libreelec but it is not a simple procedure and the internal TV tuner does not work; as a solution he connected a USB Dongle TV behind.
Do you have any advice for me ?
I don't recommend this device at all!
Ignorant and bullying support team which delete everything don't like and it's against their devices in the forum and lot of bugs:
1) GTPlayer crash all the time. You have to disable it
2) Remote controls is horrible, you need to target the device, otherwise doesn't work
3) You need to blind search all the time for channels otherwise will find only few of them.
4) you cannot search for individual channels, there is no option. You have to search for all and you will always lose custom channels list
5) you either can export and import a channel list because you will lose EPG
6) EPG works only when it want
7) When EPG works, you have to switch to the channel you want to see EPG in order to have it loaded. You cannot stay on a music channel, for example, and explore EPG of other channels.
8) EPG language is wrong if channel have multilanguage EPG. Device reads the first language only.
9) If you use PVR recorder, the program will record with the first audio track (wrong language if channel have multiple tracks) and without subtitles, ignoring your preferences.
You better get a MECOOL K2 or K3 than buying this junk, honestly.

Factory and Stock Firmwares (Reason If Need)
Have you installed firmware 6.2 on a device that comes with firmware version 6.3 without problems? I have a problem that the device will not start.
I think I can only solve it with the installation via firmware file in .img format but I have GTC with serial GC and I only get the .img file for the previous version. (6.2). You think I won't have problems. I saw that you in the mega link wrote tested in serial GC!
thanks

demlasjr, hope you do not go back to GT media-Freesat asking for help.
@cpr43 Haha, sure....it's useless however. I'm not a masochist to keep begging ignorant people, if i'm not wrong you are one of them. All I wanted was help and had enough patience. I wait months for a bug fix and nobody even bother to fix them. I paid for a working device. Where is the support? I kept reporting bugs and asking for fixes and the day I asked why are we ignored I got banned.
Update since September: still nothing works, I have 2 weeks without EPG, I don't want to reset device because I'll lose channels list modifications and if I will export and import it, EPG will not work.
Here are also some complains about it (over a year old!!! Nobody gives a $#&@ about it:
https://www.forokeys.com/foro/gt/os-funciona-el-epg-en-el-gtc-android-4k/
https://www.forokeys.com/foro/gt/free-sat-gtc-android-canales-sin-informacion/
The only one fixed it's GTPlayer, because the team behind that app fixed it.
BTW...testing Mecool K7, way more powerful and lot of support and custom firmware guys!
@demlasjr
@demlasjr. Hope you happy with your new toys. Just found out you like to talk on people/ forums behind back and that's not fear. I hope they welcome you here knowing that. As for our forum no way we can accept you back. Wishing you the best. Sayonara
Do you think this software can work ?
ProgTV Android
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.progdvb.progtva
I did not understand correctly but it seems to me that it is derived from the ProgDVB software that I have often used on the PC with Windows 10 and the Technisat 2 card + DVB-T USB stick.
If so, it would work much better than the DVB software installed on the decoder.

You are plagiarizing everything I think about this device crap.
and you are very right about the moderators. especially cpr43. is the champion of idiots in the forum where only 98% problems and 2% solutions are found.
in my case, one of my GTCs root it. I did it because I like to play with the devices I buy. Supposedly an update arrived that left the device like a damn paperweight. and they blame me. !!

And if the user demands attention, you go out and say they are busy with other things ... scratching their balls, that's what they do ...
I hope someday to find you and give you the kick you deserve.

I Just recieved my Cisco Cius Tablet, Comes with this info in the about section
Model number: Cius
Android Version: 2.2.2
Kernel version: 2.6.31.6-mrst
[email protected]#1
Build number: FRG83G.9.2.1SR1.19SEC
I would really like to root it, I haven't found anything on how to go about it and there is no section here. I have Adb installed and connecting to the device but I'm getting permission denied on just about everything. Is there a way to get root on this, Has anyone started developing on the platform? I would be happy to put in some work to get it going, at least rooted if not make a rom, but I have no idea how to get root on it.
I talked to one of the guys at cisco support about an unrelated issue but during the conversation I found out that it has an intel processor rather then an arm processor. I figure that that has alot to do with why I have been unable to get any of the android 2.2.2 root kits to work with the rageagainstthecagearm5.bin files that everyone is using on phones. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
If other people are interested maybe even get a development section up for the device.
Thanks

Moving to Q&A
now that cisco has abandon the cius all together i wonder if we can get it rooted...
Cius will no longer be available to be sold after march 22nd this year but HW support won't end til march 22nd 2016...
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/col...90/ps11156/end_of_life_notice_c51-717226.html
looking at a forum thread at cisco.com they'll take the stance of "security" and the fact it's still being "supported", whatever that really means, when asked, kernel source or rooting... too bad wonder if anyone can bribe a cisco dev to give us the details on how to root...yeah right.
https://developer.cisco.com/web/ciu...sage_boards/message/6452457?p_p_auth=40l4IazY
For the time being, considering how much a single one of these tablet costs, doubt many devs have one, or access to one.
My company has about 3-4 of these (with the HD media, aka phone,docks), we got them for free since we made a major purchase to upgrade our old nortel phone system to them, so i'm glad we didn't have to plunk down any cash for them afterall.
I have 1 of them and am playing with it but I'm not a dev so I wouldn't even know where to begin on rooting it.....
hi mate,
any luck with rooting? 2.2.2 can't do anything much for now....
i've got a unit too... don't know anyone currently working on this product inside cisco sys... they moved on to another android desk phone (non tablet).

M8 has a very good performance, unfortunately the firmware is not always stable, and there still quite a few issues that needs to be fix.
PROS
Smooth and fast firmware.
Android 4.4 Kitkat
XBMC 13 pre-installed
Blu-Ray ISO and 4K video playback
1080p user interface
4K video output up to 30 fps supported
Good Ethernet performance (60 Mbps video playback OK)
Good video formats/codecs support
USB webcam works with Skype and Google Hangouts
HDMI CEC support
CONS
Stability problems. Not catastrophic, but the device may still hang a few times. Could it be temperature related?
Bluetooth not working.
Poor Wi-Fi performance.
Can’t install paid apps via Google Play.
Sometimes non-optimal user’s experience:
Need to switch between XBMC and MX Player depending on video files
Multiple input devices required, e.g. if you use an air mouse, you still need to access the IR remote to put the device into Standby.
Bluetooth not available from default settings menu
Only Chinese cities available for weather
H.265 not working smoothly (frames skipped). Probably not fixable (not supported by hardware, and GPGPU not supported by Mali-450)
DTS, Dolby, AC3 not supported by hardware, but software decoded in XBMC (Can’t be fixed, SoC related)
MX III 4 stars. Did not have all apps loaded as i thought. But over-all really superior
PROS
Nice android devicea bit weak on 1080P streaming.
Works great with addition of Rii wifi keyboard and Solo Loader
This is a dream for KODI/XBMC users who have grown tired of using their computer hooked up to their tv for streaming like I was
No complaints here!
Good android tv box
Great but not too polished yet.
CONS
Cheap Network Components Really Hold this Thing Back
my old mk919 (which is obsolete now) delivers more consistent
ditto

Al of these cons you listed for the M8 apply to the MXIII in my experience (I have an MXIII). I have better playback experience using MX Player w/ ARM v7 Neon codecs (HW+ decoding) for 1080p and 10-bit H.264 (yes, I watch anime).
In other words, these boxes seem almost exactly comparable (they may have the exact same hardware).
both of these boxes have since been updated to the Amlogic S812 processor M8S & the MXiii plus
the M8S has also another model now available in the M8S+ with 1 gb lan port and running android 5.1.1.
I have the M8S+ and can say its a great improvement on its predecessor.
worth looking at if your thinking about buying an M8S or MXiii

How to update MXIII to Android 5.1 or Custom ROM
I have Amlogix MXIII 4K TV BOX running Android 4.4.2, it sometimes does not turn on properly and gets stuck at MXBOX logo and keeps loading, I have to take out power and put it back multiple times before it loads to home screen, is there anyway to fix this or update this box to a custom file or android 5.1 for better performance ?
Hello my friends,
I've an mxiii 2g/8g bricked, no hdmi signal, red light only..
I've manage to bring it to this after a half booting by a power line failure, and then only the red light was on...
I was looking to revive it with amlogic usb tool, but only to 2% then give a pll error..even with several img...was not reading from sd card with boot magic...
Any thoughts?
Thanks

The Team DevDigitel universal ROM could quite likely work, since it is for any Amlogic S8xx.
Assuming that you have backups etc, you could try the way I successfully upgraded my S812 box.
If you do, make sure you let us know how it went

Internal Photos
As you can see in this photo there is a Heat sink, its only small but doing a great job as iv not came across any over heating issues.
Device
The Q Box is A cool looking Tv box with its Ribbon of LED light that goes all around the top edge of the box that has 3 colors to choose from baby blue,dark blue & green .
The boot time is around 25 seconds so its quite nippy,There is a bottom & top status bar, Whitch i always like to see.My Q Box came fully rooted out of the box too so no messing about trying to root it.
Iv been playing around with this Q Box for over a week now & i have to say im more than impressed by it everything seems to run so well on,For an out of the box tv box experience This thing is pretty dam good.
The remote that the Q box comes with is a good remote, its not an airmouse but for a inferred remote its doing a great job.The only way to power down the Q box is with the button on the remote as there's no power button on the device its self.
Once booted up it takes you to the home screen shown below.

App Draw
About Tab
Kodi
The Q box comes with Kodi 16.0 & on the first run you get the choice to install the preset addons or a clean blank kodi.This is good to see that you do get the choice of the addons or not,The kodi loading time is also fast.
Games
Iv tested both beach buggy blitz & Asphalt 8, Both played perfect with no crashes or lag even with the graphics set to high,The game loading time is very fast.Also something to note the Q box has not over heated once even though it only has a small heatsink.Iv tested both the Tronsmart Mars G01 gamepad & my ps3 sixaxis controller Both worked fine & no bugs with the sixaxis gamepad ether.
Misc
Logitech c270 webcam works fine
External non powered 1TB samsung HD works
Tronsmart Mars G01 Gamepad works
Sixaxis Ps3 controller works
32GB works + my 64GB scandisk Extreme works
128GB USB Stick works
HDMI CEC works
Google play store NOT working
OTT updates NOT working
Wifi & Ethernet
The wifi on the Q box is strong its finding my home network & one another close by network im getting full signal strenth & the download speed is fast enough to stream 1080p & 4k Im finding the wifi & Ethernet quite good.

great review, i just have one question
My bedroom is about 10m from my router, and know I wish to know how far was your box from your router because you got great speeds. I would like to order one, but I am afraid that wifi will be to weak, because I allready bought m8s and his wifi is terrible
Thanks for the review. I've just got the box and it seems pretty good except for a few problems.
1) Kodi and SPMC both play quite a few files with the sound out of sync which is the same as my other android box by sumvision. Seems to be a common problem on android boxes.
2) There are some apps I want but won't install from the play store due to them being "incompatible". Solif Explorer, Firefox and Torguard VPN all refuse to install for this reason. Very annoying.
3) There is a new firmware available at ndroidtvbox.eu (Search for sunvell qbox firmware) but I cannot figure out how to install it using the updater.
4) Sunvell does not have this product on their site which is strange. What hope is there of any support?

You might be ok. Depends more on having a decent router rather than the device.
It also has a wired network port. Can you use that instead?
I can't, cable isn't a option in my case. My router is great, all other my devices have great wifi reception in my bedroom, but for example m8s is just terrible. I read that many of s905 boxes have the same problem. But when I see your result, q box wifi should be, just fine

Hi, thx for great review. Could you test some video files (1080p, 2160p, H264, H265, maybe some weird stuff too)?

Hmm, perhaps the M8 has a weak antenna. You might be ok. Otherwise you might have to invest in one of those powerline adapter kits.

Hey, I might as well add my observations:
All my files are on a local NAS.
1080p and 720p x264 video files play fine, with the exception of lots of TV episodes being out of sync. I have to set a lot of videos to have the audio 250ms ahead, but others are fine.
I have a few x265 1080p videos, and all of them play with the sound out of sync by varying degrees. It also seems to take a few seconds for the sound sync to "settle" when the file is played, but still ends up inaccurate.

Thanks for the guide, can I press the button from the outside somehow? I've tried bending a pin but I can't manage to press anything.
BTW, perhaps you could post it here for others.
OK, I've installed the latest firmware. I cannot believe I had to dismantle the device in order to install a firmware update. My sumvision box, which has the identical "Update&Backup" app can do it from there, but this one can't apparently.
I got all my data deleted using that update method so that was also aa huge annoyance.
I cannot notice any difference whatsoever in the new image. It still has the same problems. A lot of apps aren't compatible on the play store.
I forgot to mention in my previous comment that it has random wired network dropouts. There are occasionaly times when I wake it up and it cannot get a network connection until I reboot it. This is still happening after the upgrade.
The "Update&Backup" STILL has a OTA update to download, but fails to download it and crashes after a few seconds every time. Terrible, untested software.
It says "New york" up in the top right corner of the home screen and I have no idea what that's about. (Possibly some kind of weather announcement, but I have corrected my location, regional settings etc and it remains there)
I managed to remedy the play store problem by modifying the build.prop file which thankfully is possible because the device is pre-rooted. Doing this allowed me to install SPMC, Solid Explorer, Torguard etc.
Overall, I can't recommend this device. The quality of the software is terrible. I've spent many hours tinkering trying to get it to work the way I want, so novice users should definitely not get this. The hardware seems to be perfectly capable and miles beyond something like a RPi3, but the software really spoils it.
@Sybs, my "Update&Backup" sais under changes something like "modify google play store" in bad english, does the same update still appears under the new firmware?
Ive also tried out some chinese proxies to get the update working, since the downloads from china are very unstable. But it looks like it always stops around 316 kb of 21xxx kb).
I will try to use a network sniffer to get the actual url to download the file from another pc and then to flash it manually.
What changes have you made to the file "build.prop"?

Hi @DieHardMan, yes that's the same update that appears for me and it fails at about the same point every time.
I only changed the build.prop device and manufacturer to a Nvidia Shield TV as I figured that would allow me to download any apps I need. It worked.
Today the download size of the update changed to 640 MB, but now i wont even start the download. But they seem to do something server side. Ive also looked into the build.prop and theres the following line:
ro.product.otaupdateurl=http://198.11.176.47:9090/otaupdate_t95_2G/update
The ip is located in the US and the url leads to a 404, perfect.
Google Cast and TV PlayStore
Hi, I just got this TV box and it seems there is no support of Google Cast and no Google TV PlayStore (No TV app's...). How can I bring there features on board?
I bought this box for my old CRT NTSC TV, but unfortunately the composite AV output doesn't support NTSC resolution: the lowest setting is 480p and it's completely garbled so I guess my TV needs 480i.
I've seen KitKat-based TV boxes with PAL/NTSC settings, but it seem to have disappeared with Lollipop: is there any way to bring this feature back with an app or a custom rom?
Thanks in advance

Is there a possibility on the latest firmwere to turn green LED box when it is in stand-by mode . Changing the color of the backlight off working on my home screen natomast green podswiedlenie standby is quite annoying .

Hi guys, I'm considering buying an android TV box, so any other feedbacks on this Qbox?
If the firmware is still not fully functioning (Google Play, e.g.), what box would you recommend in this range of price?
Thanks!

Hi guys & girls,
This time im going to be reviewing the Amlogic T95M Tv box from Mod Edit: Selling site link removed.
First of all i would like to thank Gearbest for the review sample & for there fast postage to the uk.
The T95M arrived to me in 6 days via DHL with no custom fees to pay (Different everytime but in
most cases with DHL you will need to pax customs taxs)
A few quick facts
● Amlogic S905 quad-core CPU is rapid and stable which can give you high-speed feedback and
smooth response.
● Mali-450 as GPU of this TV Box which gives you the high definition pictures and videos.
● With 64bit Android 5.1 stable and smooth system.
● 2GB DDR3 + 8G eMMC Flash Memory: It gives you more space to download your favorite apps

● Network functions: Skype chatting, Youtube, Flicker, Facebook, online movies, etc..
● Free Internet searching, thousands of android applications, many kinds of games, etc..
● Infrared remote control let you enjoy your wonderful life which the wireless brings to you
This box has really surprised me on how well it pro forms smooth & fast.
The T95M in this review has 2GB DDR3 Ram + 8GB eMMC Rom
It has 2 full sized usb ports,1 otg port,micro sd card slot,AV,ethernet,HDMI out,SPDIF & the power
port & not forgetting the secret recovery button in the AV hole.
The T95M is a small sized tv box but its not lacking anything,I will mention It has no power button
on the device its self,But it comes with a good IR remote so you can do most things from the
remote.Its also nice to see a clock on the front of the tv box thats something different.
There’s plenty of ventilation holes on the bottom of the box to help with the cooling.This is a
must have on any tv box IMO as many tv box's over heat but not this one.
The box comes pre rooted & is running android Lolliopo 5.1 With some useful apps
Facebook,Drop Box,Kodi,Mobdro,Film on,Skype,Netflix,Showbox to name a few.
M8 style launcher
App Draw (Nova launcher)
Kodi 16.0
Pre-install Kodi media center,Kodi can be used to play almost all of your popular audio and video
formats around. You can stream your multimedia from anywhere in the house or directly from the
internet.Comes pre loaded with tons of addon’s (Some adult content)
1080 video’s have been playing fine up to now also 1080 youtube video’s playing fine
The T95M also comes with a addon updater for kodi (A good idea for noobs) But seems to take for
ever to download,,over an hour to update. And once downloaded a lot of old & none working
addons thats two hours of my life gone so now back to my normal kodi setup.
Internal Photos
As you can see in the photo below there is a heatsink,Its only tiny but doing a great job The T95M
gets warm not hot,But i will fit a bigger one myself when i get around to it.
Games
Games iv tested so far are the normal games i use to test ,Beach buggy blitz & Asphalt 8 both of them played perfect with no lag whats so ever they also load very fast..
All the games iv tested have been with my PS3 controller using the sixaxis app 0.8.3
Device & firmware
Gearbest has just posted the stock Firmware (I have not tested this yet)

Customization
If I flash the stock firmware will it remove their kodi version and addons? That's what I want to do. Or are there any ROMs for this custom or vanilla android.
Thanks
did it support drm widevine?
I got one of these and the FIRST thing I did was flash it to run Libreelec as that's what I want to use it for, first from SDcard and then from NAND, so now it runs just KODI, you do lose the front display and there are a few other minor niggles (being resolved by third parties)
I have tested to 4K and H265 10bit and all works great.
The firmware download is over a GB !! so I assume it will have all the associated crap in there...
If all you want to do is run KODI then I suggest you flash Libreelec to the NAND and Bob your aunties lawn mower man...

I got one of these and the FIRST thing I did was flash it to run Libreelec as that's what I want to use it for, first from SDcard and then from NAND, so now it runs just KODI, you do lose the front display and there are a few other minor niggles (being resolved by third parties)
I have tested to 4K and H265 10bit and all works great.
The firmware download is over a GB !! so I assume it will have all the associated crap in there...

Why 15.2?
Libreelec is 16.1, not sure what openelec is.
hi,
I have same box as you, order from gearbest.
i having problem setting the "TV Control" button. How u set it so it can control my tv?
Youtube and Netflix quality
I have this box but I can't seen to get 1080p on anything. Youtube maxes out at 360p and Netflix looks bad as well. I've tried changing the setting on the box to 1080p but that hasn't helped anything. Anyone have any ideas before I send this box back?

You need to download an older version of YouTube. Turn off auto updates
Sent from my G4
Killed this box about 5 times now but the usb tool gets it back :=)

Amlogic S905 Quad Core 2GB DDR3 + 8GB eMMC 2.4GHz WiFi Bluetooth 4.0 Connectivity
Hi guys & girls,
This time im going to be reviewing the Amlogic T95M Tv box from Gearbest
First of all i would like to thank Gearbest for the review sample & for there fast postage to the uk.
The T95M arrived to me in 6 days via DHL with no custom fees to pay (Different everytime but in

This box has really surprised me on how well it pro forms smooth & fast.
The T95M in this review has 2GB DDR3 Ram + 8GB eMMC Rom
It has 2 full sized usb ports,1 otg port,micro sd card slot,AV,ethernet,HDMI out,SPDIF & the power
port & not forgetting the secret recovery button in the AV hole.
The T95M is a small sized tv box but its not lacking anything,I will mention It has no power button
on the device its self,But it comes with a good IR remote so you can do most things from the
remote.Its also nice to see a clock on the front of the tv box thats something different.
There’s plenty of ventilation holes on the bottom of the box to help with the cooling.This is a
must have on any tv box IMO as many tv box's over heat but not this one.
The box comes pre rooted & is running android Lolliopo 5.1 With some useful apps
Facebook,Drop Box,Kodi,Mobdro,Film on,Skype,Netflix,Showbox to name a few.
M8 style launcher
App Draw (Nova launcher)
Kodi 16.0
Pre-install Kodi media center,Kodi can be used to play almost all of your popular audio and video
formats around. You can stream your multimedia from anywhere in the house or directly from the
internet.Comes pre loaded with tons of addon’s (Some adult content)
1080 video’s have been playing fine up to now also 1080 youtube video’s playing fine
The T95M also comes with a addon updater for kodi (A good idea for noobs) But seems to take for
ever to download,,over an hour to update. And once downloaded a lot of old & none working
addons thats two hours of my life gone so now back to my normal kodi setup.
Internal Photos
As you can see in the photo below there is a heatsink,Its only tiny but doing a great job The T95M
gets warm not hot,But i will fit a bigger one myself when i get around to it.
Games
Games iv tested so far are the normal games i use to test ,Beach buggy blitz & Asphalt 8 both of them played perfect with no lag whats so ever they also load very fast..
All the games iv tested have been with my PS3 controller using the sixaxis app 0.8.3
Device & firmware
Gearbest has just posted the stock Firmware (I have not tested this yet)
http://freaktab.com/forum/advertisers-and-vendor-support-area/gearbest-com/583752-sunvell-t95-firmware-download-t95-2g-2016160516
The firmware on this box is a lot better than i was expacting & everything works as it should so far.
Firmware on my box when arrived is LMY47V.20160622
It will be interesting to see if we will get any OTA firmware updates (We would like to see this
Sunvell)
The boot time on the New T95M is between 30 & 35 seconds to complete
Shut down time is 1 second
Antutu Score of 35364
USB logitec c270 webcam works fine
External Samsung hard drive of 1TB works fine powered by the T95m
32GB SD Card works
It comes pre installed with kodi 16.0

Hi mate. Great review. I'm in New Zealand and we have a different model but same name. I was wondering if these are the same models https://goo.gl/images/HtZnCL
Also how do you find the wifi connection and is it a ac Wi-Fi?
Cheers
Hi There
I have the Sunvell T95M 4K HD TV Box 64Bit Android 5.1 - 2GB + 8GB model and am struggling to get to see the attached hard drive over my home LAN. I can ping the device successfully but cannot connect to it through Windows Explorer. Any settings on the device I need to set? Someone who can maybe point me to a proper manual.
Thanks!
I bought cheap in a offer... but it is a big **** without support... with a firmware 2016/06/22 it still have the same problems from begining... each time you put off... everything set up delete... (

Yup

All info needed, rather than retype and possibly introduce an error, this post covers it all.
There is a newer one https://forum.libreelec.tv/thread-1349.html but for a few of us it has issues
For now, I would stick to .005
I'm using AKASO MXQ Pro TV Box,it's really good,good price and good quality,AKASO has various models of TV Boxes,really worth looking at it!
Im trying the Xbox360 wireless game controller works add the keylayout and etc it said partner from XDA, and it is impossible.. very big nightmare these t95m... (

Being more specifically, I want to use a western digital My Passport.
