I'm using Q10Pro.
There's OTA option to get update, or you could flash it using USB drive.
I think need to update the firmware manually.

I see. Not so advance like phone custom firmware update right?

Probably not if everything is done right.
The official FW should be more straightforward.
The custom or beta firmware may need a bit more work.

Just sharing, bought my Q10 Pro last month at PJ Digital Mall for RM600.
Don't know to consider its cheap or not but compared to other online seller saw them selling at RM800 even at Amazon.

Sorry to say that it is better (at least for me) to get Himedia from Nicety. Price is also around RM600 BUT with "ask all you can" after sales service!

He updates and provides the files (firmware, apps, etc) for his customers.

Without his help, I don't think I would be enjoying TV box as much as I am now even with one of the top mid range Q5 Pro.

TV boxes are a different beast, not like PC.

Enjoy!

I have to agree with you on that especially on the after sale support.

OTA comes much later after the official one is released.
Need not wait if it is already available elsewhere, tested OK.

This sure looks promising. Hehe. The firmware can update automatically or we need to do manually? And your Q3ii box still alive bro?

if considering between q5pro and q10pro, basically 2 things matter (or not):

.. q10pro has an internal HDD slot for SATA drive up to 8TB.
.. q10 pro has 16gb storage; q5pro 8gb storage is fine for most purposes but not so good for big torrent based apps.

If I'm gonna use for streaming I just need to get the Q5 Pro eh? Cuz 8GB is big enough for the apps I think. And also Q5 Pro got SD slot for me to add some more space right?

Streaming is okay, and you can always connect an external drive to the Q5Pro.

I aim for clean setup, hence opted for the Q10Pro.

Anyway you have NFS and SAMBA option too, which I haven't use yet.

yes, if u r not going to put a hundreds apps, or use torrent based apps like popcorntime or kodi quasar.

expanding the storage... better u check with seller.


q5pro is compact, slick looking.

but the price diff with q10pro is quite small.

Yeah I only going to use Kodi and maybe try to install some game just for fun. App to SD is working right.

this is impt.

if u r ONLY going to use kodi, Q5pro/q10pro is an overkill.

better buy something cheaper or some other less branded model with 3/32gb.

read last 1-2 pages as well as page 1-2.
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4200167/+1760#bottom

if u r primarily using kodi, q5/10pro series is kinda wasted.

becos the power of it lies in the playback of complex files, networking, etc.

Kodi... just about all boxes, cheap or expensive can do it.

i assume u know kodi enough.

Well. Yes I think. Maybe I just too careful with the less branded one. And the scary part is when u read the review and customer complain that it can't on after few days using it. Hmm.
