its very difficult to say from here...hahaha without looking/checking at it.

Whats your monitor's resolution and whats your TV's resolution?
whats your streaming method, both TV and PC?
Was the streaming quality same on both PC and TV?

Those are some of the basic thing to look at.....and many more unknows as well...

If you have to ask.... You probably don't need it.

voncrane is right.

if u r asking why, u r probably happy with low-mid quality video and audio handled by the TV, no need for better.. which is fine.

TV makers are best at making TV's, processing primarily video inputs and final display - that's their biz.

not so much how to deal with raw external media - usb playback is their bonus to customers.

even premium 4K tvs usb player do not offer the best there is, only found in separate boxes.

I see now. TV isn't powerful enough.

Same thing. Bought the Q10 pro from digital mall philips kiosk last sunday. Came home to try setup kodi. It requires lots of inputing of website which the remote is not meant for it. So i connected a wired mouse to make inputting keyboard easier. Still it's not very fast as the keyboard interface is laggy. Like i need to wait half a second before input the next key. So no fast typing allowed. However, in youtube video i saw some guide videos where they can input keys and it appear as fast as computer keyboard input. Wonder how is that done. The constant switch between mouse and remote is tiresome. Some function require remote, such as menu button to load profile, to delete file, to swap subtitles etc. Some addon can only be clicked with mouse, the remote totally cannot access it. Is there a good all rounder where I can control it all in one for Himedia Q10 pro?

To the guy who getting K400r. What is your review of it?

Bought the K400+.

As one who does not like to use the touch pad on laptop, it took me some struggle to use this K400+ on my TV.

But after using it for a few days, it is ok. Now typing letters using K400+ is so much easier than using the software keyboard!

Sometimes the touch pad is very sensitive, opening or closing something on the screen. So need to get used to this.

Overall,

I need to use both the remote and K400+, the remote is good for some tasks while the K400+ is good for other tasks.

if u have to set up everything by yourself, then it can quite a task.

once it's all set up, mouse+remote can do most of the job for normal usage.

keyboard mouse... some like it, some don't.

Found this klang valley seller for the remote. Any users here already use this model of remote? Any comment about the remote?

When I first launched my Q10 pro, I will be going into the android home page. From there I can add icons to be put on the home page as I can use the + button. the sizes of the buttons seems to vary. How to resize those buttons and how to remove some buttons?

"android home page" = ?

different models have diff orig homepage/ui.

best u post a picture of it so that q10pro users can comment.



i know some older models himedia launchers have limited space for shortcuts (buttons).

which is why some users use other launchers like apex or nova where u can size them, change no. rows and columns.

u can find them in playstore.


also, r u able to get help from the seller?

You did not get Q10 Pro from Nicety? His units are 99% all set up, ready for use.

I think Q5 Pro is about the same as Q10 Pro. I am using Q5 Pro.

To remove the buttons, say the buttons with ABC, XYZ are the ones you do not want, click on + button, a new page showing all the selections will appear, go to ABC & XYZ and click on their tick marks to deselect.

In Q5 & Q10, noted that one can have more than 6 buttons. In H8, it is limited to 6 buttons.

I bought mine from digital mall. He also has a thread here in lowyat forum: https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1462384

Did texted him in whatsapp post purchase about some stuff but wasn't as responsive as pre purchase. When I asked where his shop was the response time was immediate. he just responded to my message so he's alright.

Thanks for the pointers on how to remove buttons. Yeah, when i click the + buttons it brings a new page showing all selection. I actually added buttons to my home page using that + button. Just didn't expect to delete button i have to go through the + button too. Not exactly intuitive.

How about resizing the buttons? Right now my file manager button is so huge, it looks like the kodi button in the picture i attach below, and kodi button is small, at the bottom row since i added it. wanna make kodi button the biggest button instead.

I saw in kodi thread people discussing about HDP. I kind of figured out it is an app that is unrelated to kodi. Is the latest HDP version 2.1.5? I found a website to download v2.1.5 but didn't proceed yet cause i saw forum mentioning possible virus with 2.1.5.

Hdp used to be a great app but lately, it has been rejected by the security feature of some devices, supposedly becos it hijacks the device user interface. Still, i have it have it working good on one device but not another.

Hdp comes in two versions. The one u mentioned has a blue logo, is the main one, china channels only, rejected by some devices.

There is a variant, yellow logo. This one is unstable, has china and many intl channels, test channels. Changes frequently, sometimes all work, sometimes none work.

Due to these issues, i suggest u go for other china apps like tvplus2.0. If your seller cant help u, u can google shafa.com. hope u read chinese.


Note all these apps like hdp and tvplus2.0 work on all androids, boxes or tablets or phones.

My seller actually already installed tv plus 2.0 for me. And i find this app very good. Channels are clear. So since TV plus 2.0 is better than hdp, i wont bother to go install hdp. Thanks for the comparison info.

they are about the same.

there are a few more apps like them, all about the same, i.e. same channels, same quality.

I am currently using xiaoweizhibo 小微直播. It still has the CCTV 5+ channel included for sports.

Install a different launcher... One more customizable. There are many choices in the Play Store.

Thanks, i scour the internet yesterday and it seems the only way is the install a launcher. The default himedia homepage does not offer much customisation. I could only really add icons at the bottom row. The main top icon is pretty much fixed. Any addition of icons will just stretch the page longer.

3rd party launchers incl nova and apex are free, makes it look like a pc desktop.

Or u can keep the default himedia launcher, use the fast key option which i quite sure is in q10pro.

Say, u programmed 1 as kodi.

When the launcher comes on, just press 1 on the remote, u get to kodi direct.

Just one keystroke.

How to program fast key? In the himedia booklet didn't mention about this function. Just ordered the MX3 air mouse, should come this week.
