Q16... latest firmware is 3.0.3.

Best to get from seller as u may need Google patch file too.

just a reminder on imgotv or mango tv.

there should be an auto update to version 4.7.17.

update is auto for q16, q5ii, not sure for h8.

this version is good.

you get good stuff, incl "vip - free", in 720p hd.

Seriously? Free access to vip as well ? Then need to check with wifey cos she uses this a lot... hope will have access to live show of the Running Man China

Wait! How do i check if mine is auto updated (chinese illiterate here)?

not all "vip" are free. only some.
version - go to settings, apps, u see the app version.

I noticed it seems to load faster now, not sure abt peak hours though

those who have the working versions of hdptv and hdpfans apps should check them out.

after auto update, they are now bigger and better!

hdptv now has more categories, more HD videos.

hdpfans now has some new good stuff in the new test sections.

hdptv and hdtv is not same... right ? 

I'm holding my horse for Himedia Q10/Q5 next gen base on Hisilicon HI3798c v200, which will be announce this week and avavilable end of Feb.

Himedia Q10 Next Gen full specs

CPU: quad-core Cortex A53 (64-bit)
GPU: quad-core(?) ARM Mali-T720
RAM: 2GB DDR3
ROM: 8GB eMMC
LAN: Gigabit
Wi-fi: 802.11N
USB: 1 x USB 3.0 host, 1 x USB 3.0 slave, 2 X USB 2.0
Audio/Video: HDMI 2.0, Composite, Stereo (L/R), Optical and Coaxial outputs
OS: Android 5.1
So while the CPU is similar to the one used by the Amlogic S905 or Rockchip RK3368 SoC's, the connectivity options offered by HiSilicon Hi3798C V200 SoC are much better, and the Mali-T720 is like a breath of fresh air after so many Mini PC's using Mali 450.

With the HiVXE 2.0 Video decoding engine, an 1080P UI, 4K at 60 fps, H.265/HEVC 10 bit, BDMV and BD-ISO support (including 3D) and the partnership with Dolby Laboratories for the integration of the Dolby Vision VS10 (with Higher Dynamic Range (HDR) and Wider Color Gamut (WCG), Himedia Q10 NG is clearly aimed at movie fans and could potentially become the best Mini PC in 2016 for this particular niche (as Q5 quad was in 2014/2015).

I noticed that the device has the Kodi logo on the specs sheet for the device - being able to make use of the excellent HD audio support (7.1 passthrough, Dolby Atmos, DTS-HD, True HD) from Kodi would make the Himedia's Hi3798C V200 device even more attractive.

Himedia Q10 NG (Next Generation) will be available after the Chinese New Year (so in late February) for a currently undisclosed price.

Specs sheet reveal that there could be a "Pro" version in the future with 16Gb eMMC and 802.11 AC Wifi - or maybe these will be used for the new Himedia Q5 "Next Generation".

i quite like the specs already!

I have to press the power button to boot my Himedia Q5 II player many times lately.  Does anybody know how to fix this problem?
In case I have to replace it, which is the cheapest and basic model?  Because I only use it as an air player nowadays.

the remote does not power it up?

how old is the unit?
