is it possible to connect (USB) a harddisk with different videos in different formats and play them? If yes; what formats does it support? Thank you.
This is the best iptv box money csn buy.. i juat bought mine yesterday. 1200mbps. I was blown away. Smooth
Does the KZread app work natively on this box when navigating the app..or do you have to use the built-in mouse curser?

I just ordered one of these to replace my Firestick 4K. I got fed up with the Firesticks bloatware that causes it to lag. For the price I’m praying this has minimal lag and gives me the best possible stream from my provider.
I have added 3 sources How do I switch from one to other source ???
Just installed one but couldn’t figure out the URL for tv. Can anyone help?
But will it get updates for looooog years to come like a Shield?
is this only for warching netflix and youtube? can i install any streaming app from google play store for watching?(like stan BBC news 7 News)?
Good Box but...no instructions to see or choose from multiple seasons of a particular series...if anyone knows...please share

I have a Z8. Has been a good performer, but I really don't place any real demands on it. The problem I now experience is that I suspect problems with holding a WiFi signal compared to other brand name boxes. Has become quite unstable with a solid network connection, at times testing 0 mbps with Analiti. Since I don't mind working through problems, I'll have to see if a hard or soft factory reset might resolve the issue, although I suspect the culprit is hardware. Maybe it has reached its end of life cycle. Wish me luck.

Anemic CPU. Same chip Dune initially used, but quickly dumped as no support for Dolby Vision. Very odd choice for a supposed top tier box. For the money, this is not a good value. Buzz TV U5 is a far better choice for an IPTV box. I use an iptv service that has some movies not only in 4k, but also dolby vision and dolby atmos. Not always present when using tivimate on a shield, but works on the Buzz TV. Also love the hdd caddy and recording functions.
Thing is trash broke after 1 month turns on for 30 seconds then go red and i get no display on tv any ideas reset doesnt work

Chigz... IMPORTANT.. DID YOU REALLY SAY NTFS formatted drives WORKS with this streamer? Or was that a mistake? I've followed you for years watching and comparing various boxes (Android & PC based) as I have been looking for either a Dual Boot Android/Windows box, or an easy to work solution to allow my (aging) Nvidia Shield K1 tablet (hooked up to my amp/speakers and TV) to access both my 1TB and 2TB backup drives... ALSO... IS IT capable of installing a different launcher like 'Nova'??? As.. Heck! THIS could be my next purchase! 😮🤔 😎🇬🇧

Formuler suggests that you format your drive to NTFS. I formatted my usb drive on my Z8 pro and my sd card on my Z10 pro this way to record live tv. Although I do believe that you can format FAT 32 also.
I bought one of these recently , but the sound is giving trouble , no sound at all when you switch it on , have to keep restarting the box till the sound comes back , any one know how we can fix this ? any one have a downloader code for audio optimiser ?

And I bought the Pro Max for his extra 32Gb but I can't make recordings on the memory???? So, whatfor the extra 32Gb can be used? My intention was the make recording on that part of the memory and to transfert these to my PC for editing.

From Amazon shopping, and it's sold for $ 200. I think that firestick 6 max or fire cube is a better option. Also,you need to have an i.p tv subscription.
Absolutely no Dolby Vision support !!! Does the CPU actually run as 64bit or just 32bit also does this box support 32BIT & 64BIT ABI's...The Nvidia shield runs as a full 64bit CPU and runs both 32bit & 64bit ABIs ... Will this box run Kodi in 64bit mode or only run 32bit theirs a huge difference in performance...The shield may be an older box but it runs practically everything!!! If you use and run AIDA64 app it will show you The Shield has a proper Hybrid CPU .
Does it have Chromecast built in?
Where is Dolby Vision ?
No dolby vision or atmos which is a shame
This is the first RealTek device I've seen but 1.4 GHz is kinda slow compared to others...Its good to see competition, maybe prices will come down.....You didn't show if "Developers" options can be achieved.....Here's the negative........giving it a SUPERB is off....it can not play 4K Prime and Netflix.......you should downgrade it...thx

Mine just kept freezing and skipping right from the beginning on all the apps which included their MyTv, Cinema, You Tube, Kodi or anything else. I have to admit though that the remote is sweet. Feels really nice with it's action.

Yes it has plenty ROM and RAM, but unnecessary for a TV box. Price is ridiculous for what it is. And dude, sound in your video is all over the place, impossible to watch without remote in the hand
Nvidia still the best android box 6 years later. Thats another china CRAP box. That doesn't work right
