   Hi Tech is this still a good android streaming box to pick up compared to the shield. Is it fairly easy to upgrade firmware? Does it do it on its own or would I need to do it. I see someone selling it for 60 Canadian dollars and I had my eye on this for a while.

   This must be a old clip. Because Kodi 15.2 is out.. I'd like to see what video programs are on it.. Can I watch local news and channels, like 49,13,ABC and so on? Or watch free ppv, espn,hbo,Cinemax and many more? I also thought XBMC was replaced by Kodi? Thanks

    I have used the Minix X8H Plus. Its a nice device but too bad that it wont ever get Android lollipop firmware for it. Also I have trouble watching video with h.265 HEVC video files. It stutters when playing a 1080p x265 HEVC 10bit video. I think it even wont play a 4K video file at 60fps.

    Question: I saw in your video that there is a file manager icon on the apps screen. Does the file manager allow your to browse and stream file from other media servers within your network (DLNA- such as a DoBo NAS server)?

    question the x8-h plus can go up to 433 mbps. How does that relate to your provider if I only have 50mbps?

    Is it true that you can't use the remote control to power on the box? I was told you have to physically push the power button.

    I think its still strange that the updates are not just automated, just like your phone. Why is this?

    ok, a few things:
    2:15 – I heard the A2 remote does not use the Android button in the middle for ENTER, but you have to press the enter button directly below the DOWN arrow key. Don't know if that's been fixed, but it's completely unintuitive.
    2:43 – The M1 remote is a piece of crap. It looks nice and it's RF, but it needs to be charged EVERY TWO DAYS – it won't take batteries. This is why they give it away as an extra remote with every unit! You will constantly be plugging this thing in to recharge it, it will drive you nuts.
    3:00 – The launcher is garbage. If you click XBMC, it brings up another little window with an XBMC icon, so you then have to click that to actually launch XBMC. There is also no option to boot straight into XBMC (and be able to exit back to the Minix launcher).
    4:00 – Minix updates their firmware occasionally, but they are often in beta for months at a time, and many people have problems with them. Mine still freezes occasionally when watching a video, and I have to actually pull the plug and restart the unit. This is with a clean install. 
    4:14 – Yes, technically there is the option to update without wiping everything, but they will tell you on the forum to do a clean install just in case, since the update is not always reliable.

    I am still not sure about those two concerns, is there an IR port or it's only an RF remote ? Also, are there other languages on that box ?

    I asked today on official forum but I might get answer faster here. Who knows.
    Can I pair two bluetooth headphones with this box without having additional BT transmitter plugged in box? Or do I need additional BT transmitter plugged in the box to get it paired with two BT headphones simultaneously?

    Hey bro! Love your reviews!! Keep doing what you're doing.. definitely very helpful.  I have a question though… trying to figure out which one I should get and couldn't find anything that would compare the mk908 vs minix x8-h vs probox2 ex.  Or at least the x8-h vs probox2 ex.  I would like to stream movies and browse the net.  Just wanted to know which would be the best option for me.  Let me know.  Thanks!

    Just saw your review of the Z64w also!! UGHGH!! OPTIONS… SO MANY OPTIONS!! LOL
