Hi All,

Just bought the Q5 device. At the sellers store I'm able to see the Market icon in CloudTv, but when I hook it up at home, all I've is Free Content and Favorite icons, the Market icon is missing.

Does anyone know why and how I can get the Market icon?

Thanks for your help in advanced.

Looking for 2x units of Himedia HD900a and/or HD910a

PM me.

I have Himedia Q1 android.

Anyone has a solution to prevent lcd burn in? screen saver or sleep mode perhaps? every time i play a movie, and if i fell asleep and the movie finish, it will stay at the file manager menu. no screen saver like older himedia (i used to own hd600 1185).

any solutions? i saw HDMI suspend in android menu. does it mean anything?

Hi guys... CNY is coming, which app and channel is able to view LIVE CNY celebrations in China, Taiwan or HK???? getting into the CNY mood early ^^

I think its still there, you just have to swipe to the right..?

afaik, there is no builtin screen saver for newer models. i tried playstore to get one, didnt find any suitable.

never mind, just dun fall asleep! i suppose u just go to the list of china live tv stations - if new, they'll show up; if not, the usual ones will probably air cny stuff anyway.

note hitv has returned with livetv. first check, it's incomplete, many channels not working. in general, contents about the same as hdplive.

Hi guys... may i know whats the latest update version for Himedia Q5 II non-eMMc???? does the new update comes with playstore??? most importantly where can I get Eng version of the update???

Thanks in advance.

missing my remote for q5 ,where can buy

Why my HiMedia tvbox always no response it need to close the application or restart the tvbox?

I just ordered my Himedia Q1 thru lelong few days back:

http://www.lelong.com.my/himedia-q1-quad-c...7-01-Sale-I.htm

I haven't receive it yet.. I just bought it blindly as I think not much product review about it compared to other established brand such as minix.. recently I owned another China made Android box :

http://www.lelong.com.my/x10-tv-box-mini-p...5-08-Sale-P.htm

also bought thru lelong but very disappointed in it.. within 2 weeks need to do more than 1-to-1 exchange with the seller.. luckily the seller lives just nearby.. LAN not working, no display, and now the unit gone kaput already..

therefore, to anyone using the Himedia Q1 same as my spec, what's your verdict with the product? I am planning to get Minix in the future.. can't wait for Minix Z64 to reach Malaysian market.. you can install Windows/Android on it..

Cheers!!!

having used 3 units of himedia in the last 1.5 yrs, i can say it is a good, reliable brand in terms of hardware quality and firmware support.

the trouble i see from the numerous posts of users looking for help and not getting any seems to be:

1.. bought unpopular models, few users, can't get help.
2.. bought from seller(s) who don't/can't support for long in terms of firmware and/or user apps.
3.. users not familiar with androids, thought they are like astro decoders on/off/press buttons; didn't spend time to learn

i do not know much about q1, dunno if it is a popular model; i know many users for q5ii, q5iii and q16 - dual and quad cores.

but from the specs, it looks fine. only thing is whether u will be able to get help and resources to upgrade firmwares and apps over time and keep them working nicely. imo, this is the most impt aspect of any androidtv box, more impt than this brand or that brand. becos tech is changing very quickly, firmwares and apps change all the time. if no help for 2 yrs, the box is as good as dead becos the old software wud be pretty much obsolete, wont work or work poorly.

agreed with u on point number 1.. me myself is included in that group of people.. i was overwhelmed by the android tv market, and just bought the lousy china made, for the sake of the cheap price.. never bother to check on the spec, and in the end I feel like throwing my Rm170 into the monsoon drain.. hahaha..

yes you are right about point number 3.. most people thought the android box is something that just runs perfectly out of box, and in the end they ended up feeling that they wasted money on this product.. they don't even bother to do a little bit of technical research.. i bet some of them will have their jaws dropped if u ask them about APK.. hehehe..

BTW, any of you guys ever experienced with the cloudtv.bz or the myiptv android app?? I'm thinking of getting either 1.. I bought the Q1 for my living room tv, since I already stop Astro subscription.. I have already playing around with Kodi with SportDevil add-ons, but it seems like it is very hard to get reliable Live football stream from it.. what I heard is they can provide you with the cable tv experience, with minimal fee that still can be considered cheaper than Asteruk..

guys, do you all able to play youtube 1080p in Q3?
mine only have 720 option though

i'm using himedia q1 4k quad.. same issue here.. utube only shows 720p.. any tweak can be done??

i'm just suspecting....

not sure... something to do with the kernel... if it's not 1080p, it won't take it.

my friend using HTC one, he can play 1080 while xiaomi note only can 720

htpc always better than androids for Internet sreaming, more power, more juice!

Not sure about youtube as I hardly use it, but u can check at XBMC/Kodi.

Under system, settings, system, video output... Check if u can set to 1080p.

My q5ii can't, max is 720p. Q16 can. Explanation is different kernel, one is 720p, the other 1080p.

Don't know how it all works but local usb playback, 1080p ok for both.

Hitv is working now. Enjoy it while I can till March.

hitv been's working again for some time now.

why only until march?

What I mean it will lag again in March according to the past patterns. Your hitv has been smooth so far?
