Quad Core KODI Android TV Box HD Streaming with NOW TV SKY GO Media Player

The box itself powers up and you get a nicely laid out home screen, that's as far as you can get. You cant update any of the apps on the device because it continually says it is disconnected from the internet - I have tried both wireless and ethernet.. with no luck whats so ever. I attempted to login into Google Play to update the iPlayer apps etc but it too said it wasnt connected to the internet and would not let me log in. I thought maybe the firmware needed updating as it has 1.0.4 installed and it thinks that 1.0.7 is available. It will not update. I checked on the OTAUpdater website itself and the firmware either never did exist or doesnt anymore. I wanted this box to be able to use Kodi with my TV Server setup in our bedroom but Kodi wont install as it too says it has no internet connection. I believe that someone had the box before me as it was not sealed and had already gone through the location and default setup menus prior to me powering it up. I shall be returning this to Amazon and I am warning any other users not to purchase it as you will not be able to get anything to work. Oh, and the manufacturer's website hasnt been updated since January 2016 either so I guess they have ceased trading.

I bought this box as it said it had Kodi. Have been unable to set it up as it says it is out of date and unable to update. Believe me I have tried. (I’m reasonably tech savy) can’t get YouTube to work Either. This was the reason for purchase. Box itself works fine. Just the apps being out of date and non useable is a let down.

Wasn't sure what to expect. After rooting, removing unnecessary programs, changing the launcher, adding a back,home,recent bar, changing google play version this box now works smooth and reasonably fast. Boot time approx 40 seconds.... The main limiting factor is Android 4.4 reducing the number of available apps. There are still plenty of options for TV and movie streaming out there. Left the basic infared controller app for standby to then power off as shutdown apps or terminal commands for shutdown only lead to a reboot... Usb port 1 seems to work best for remote keyboard input. Wifi is fast and reliable. Happy with purchase, thanks Amazon. Update: Have installed TWRP recovery and Android 5.1 rooted with Magisk superuser. Working very well, with option to jump to Android 4.4 whenever required... Great setup, very pleased. To clarify, for those happy to mod the box, it is very rewarding. For general users, there are many restrictions. Update 01/08/2020: Have installed Linux which has created a fast desktop environment. Contained within SD card and booted by holding av pin. Very good...

Bought it specifically to watch my sky go in a bedroom only to find it does not support the sky go app.waste of money.

I got this box about 6 Hours ago and took that long for me to set up and updated but I have Now TV- - Netflix -sky on home page and Kodi as well . Needs some more time spend as sky go not working yet main reason I bought this but am fairly happy I have emailed the suppliers and asked some questions about set up re sky

my box was good for netflix and all the great andriod apps and playing files from hd since they have updated the home screen they have in my opinion turned a great box to a standard kodi box a box that would have still been a great after kodi demise is stuck with a kodi home screen i can not find this info on xuum website or there youtube site As of August 2016, all XUUM players now use Droidplayer/Gostreamer firmware and is available across our Droidplayer/XUUM range i have updated my box got rid of kodi homescreen you can install it if you want it is up to you i can see why the info is not widely available goldstrem quad box are cheaper

It is crap. It does not work properly. I had to give one star because I have to. Nothing loads. Always goes to log error. Developers have it so locked up you can't add any addons to it.

Good quality for the money. Fast enough
