hi, can i ask, can the Q5II can display the tiles like in Popcorn hour?

is it possible?

Hi, I'm interested in getting either one of Q5II or Q10. I went to read the detailed specs of Q5II and Q10 from taobao.com, I found this feature on Q5II but not from Q10. Can those who own Q5II tell me is the feature useful for old people to have easier access?




from here.

hmm, it's an interesting and useful feature. any comment from sifus?

Got XBMC in the Q5 II but the problem is why it cant see the file on my external hard disk? One more,how to install netflix?

mine also face the same prob..

Yeah,only can play video via the 'Media Center' but it kinda suck because can access file 1 by 1 with only writing on it.No picture and nothing at all like when I use xbmc at home =.=

Bro, please follow the below steps :
1). Goto Videos -> Files

2). Add Videos

3). Then Add Video Source, click browse.

4). Select Root filesystem -> mnt -> (sda) or (sdb) depend on your HDD sequence -> (sda1) or (sdb1)
5). You should see the files in your external harddisk.
6). Please do not choose file by file, select the folder contain your videos and click OK button
7). xBMC will auto scan all the movie files in the folder. To be noted you can add more than one than folders in one media source, just click the "Add" button.
8). Enter the name of the media source and click OK to save the media source.
9). Go back one screen, click Video you will see all the video in the folder.

Officially Netflix service is not available in Malaysia, you need US VPN to install Netflix from Google Play Store.

Hi i just bought a HD600A and it is unable to detect my hard disk. The firmware revision seema to be the latest (1.0.9.6?)

Anyone encounter this before and any workaround for this? Thanks

is the decoder can be use at old version tv? crt size?

I'm using Q5II with my CRT...connected using RCA cables. The only issue if the fonts can be very small for certain programs as well as browsing....

is it can watch normal channel as usual? tv1 until tv9?

if you can find an apps/link that can stream msian channel, then should be no problem. or you can go to www.tonton.com.my via browser and watch online.

No la,that time use for trial only.Dont know what to subscribe or not because sometimes only manage to get 480 instead of 720 and 1080 using 4mbps =.=

i m using HD600B with a Seagate 2TB HDD inside.

i been getting this problem for some time now. Some of my movie files will be corrupted. For instance, i can still see the size of a movie file over 4GB but when i player, its only 1min30sec. Its not something tat happen recently but yesteray when i check all my movie file, almost 20 over files was corrupted.

i was running FW 1.0.4.21 and just updated to 1.0.7.28 just a few hours ago. i will give this player one last chance. some months back, the player even corrput the whole HDD. i have to plug it out and use a PC to repair it.

Hi there,

The latest custom fw will be 1.0.9.5

Enable the safe shutdown/power off in the setting will protect your hdd.

Custom firmware installation guide:
1) Turn off HD600A/B, and remove all HDDs, USB devices and network.

2) Download the firmware, unrar it into the root of USB disk, and rename the HD600_1.0.x.x.img file to install.img. Windows may only show HD600_1.0.x.x without img extension. In that case, please just rename HD600_1.0.x.x to install

3) Remove all storage devices from HD600A/B, connect the USB disk to HD600A/B, press and hold the Restore button in the hole besides the HDMI port, turn on HD600A/B(still hold the Restore button and release it after 5 seconds) and the firmware upgrade screen will shows up. Do NOT remove the USB disk while upgrading.

4)The unit will reboot itself after it shows upgrade finished message
