Which Minix device? No problems running iFlix on the Minix Neo U1..Able to autodetect the free Unifi subscription too...

Q16 is 3 years old, not available anymore.

Current models are q5pro, q10pro and h8 plus.

The q series use a diff chipset than h series.

Q10pro is now the flagship model, android 7.

Q5pro is the litlle brother... all same except it does not have an internal hdd compartment like the big brother.

And it is 2/8gb, not 2/16gb.

There has been quite a bit of discussion and reviews from users in last 10 pages or so, u can read them.

If u are doing a lot of playback of 1080p, bdmv, 4k, hd audio videos on a big 4k tv, u will like q10pro.

as explained, only youtube and netflix certified devices will get 4k stuff.

similarly, only google androidtv certified devices will get apps like aljazeera HD and bloomberg HD, direct from the playstore.

they are native to smart/4k TV's with google's androidtv.

generic android devices have a wider playstore apps selection but restrictions with 1080p and 4k material.
q10pro excels not with youtube and netflix but with playback of 2160p, 60fps, 10bit, HDR, hevc, hd audio, dtsx, ddatmos... u already know.

Congras on your new toy! You will enjoy it, amazed at what it can do!

I am using Q5 Pro.

Like to know which Android version is installed in your new Q10 Pro. Already with 7 or still with 6?

Thanks.

So did you find out where is the bottleneck? It should not lag with GB Lan and that powerline benchmark at 160 mbps.

Netflix 4K is around 16-18 mbps...they recommend 25 mbps line only...

Thanks. Yup...bottleneck can be from many things, including use of lightning /surge protectors, 3 phase wiring, grounding, cat cables, protocol setup, etc.

I had some spare routers, so connected a pair as repeater (one as access point, one as client bridge to my main router) thinking this way I can eliminate the half-speed effects...turns out the Lan connecting both was a bottleneck worse than the half-speed effects... lol...

usb... u did not want an internal HDD to slot inside the compartment?

I think both read speed over usb 3.0 and sata 3 is about the same. Not much different.

I chose external disk because it's easy for me to unplug and connect it to my PC for huge 4k file transfer.

I tested q10pro and put an internal 2.0TB 3.5inch hdd and use samba network transfer from my PC, the speed is unacceptable. 2-5mbps, ridiculously slow, 1 movie 30GB about 6-7hours to transfer. If usb3 transfer i got about 70-80mbps, if sata3 transfer I get about same as usb3, which is about few minutes.

Direct CAT6e Ethernet everything connection.... With great broadband speeds comes greater hardware requirements.. 
Direct CAT6e Ethernet everything connection.. Better router & NAS.. Another one of the reasons, I have jumped on the bandwagon just yet.. I'm all about efficiency.. Seamlessly enjoying 4K content ain't cheap.. Must upgrade everything and lay cables all round.. Powerlines are a no go in my books where high stable networking are required.

It's not unsurprising that you are able to stream "4K" via Netflix. Netflix is not pushing out true 4K. Just better enough pq than true 1440p. The rest is the result of your TV's up-scaling engine.. 
  In all fairness, it's just some that are awful. The majority AFAIK actually look superb, especially with HDR... However, not in sufficient quantities to convince me to replace a fully functioning quality display. *knocks on wood*... Besides, TV tech will only get better and cheaper, so there's the plus side to waiting.

a few GB, ok.

a few TB, will take a month!

this one is stunning in 4k and dtshdma.

had watched it in 1080p ac3 3-4 months ago, now doing a second run at it!

Hence my earlier comments (seamless) on high specs/speed everything and how costly it can be... As some have experienced. I'm chill, no offense taken..

I'm sharing with you the network cables stuff because I'm certified by AMP, KRONE, SYStimax, Panduit to design and certify the network infra. I involved in network cabling as early as when they were just using RS232 cables to Cat-7 uptodate in Malaysia.
yeah! since you has invest so much. the best is getting the best genuine quality disc. 

Anyone tried Himedia Q10 pro with directv now? Can stream with 4K and dolby digital audio?

Is netflix and youtube work in HD or 4K for this device?

Cancel Netflix because not much newer or latest big title  movies after 1 month free trial.

4K, HDR and Dolby vision which mostly available  for Netflix original only. Whereby not much drama for me. I'm not boycot the app but just try getting something which suit me the most. I can still renew back anytime if I want t right?

Yet I still enjoy the media box with AVCHD, MKV and some kodi source or streaming apk. Also I got myself uhd player and order few UHD movies and blu ray from Amazon.

Yes both of you are right I'm new in 4K TV and home theatre system somehow I trying to learn, gather information and discussion (believe lowyat forum is a place for this). I'm not here to start a forum war or something but if u unhappy to reply my noob question of coz you free to scroll down and ignore my sentence.

Anyhow cheers guys, sharing is caring.

Thank you. Yes try the Netflix and amazon prime. Those movies title is ok ok for me so I skip them this round. Give a try directv and see how.

You got a lot 4K HDR title? Care pm me the way getting them?
