Hi,

I bought one of these boxes a month or so ago, but have struggled to find much on the web about them. Does anyone know how to root them, as I'd like to use it with droidmote? Also I'd be keen to know which version of xbmc anyone would recommend currently.
Thanks in advance

I currently have a Windows HTPC, but it constantly gives me trouble, and I'm getting tired of it.
To be able to play region coded DVD/Blu-ray disks I have had to purchase a software player that includes a license for region support. You can then set your region in the player a limited number of times (5 I think). After that the player is locked to the last chosen region, and you can only play disks coded for that region.

On Google Play I haven't found any players with region support. My question is: Does the Q5 II native player includes region support since the Q5 II supports removable disk media?

Thanks so much to Nicety for patiently demo this product. It has greatly shorten my learning curve.

This is really an excellent service!

Try this on your XBMC equipped boxes or pc or phone even via web.

Bro, most of the DVR/BD ROM in the market are Windows ready, it will not be detected by Android if you plug the ROM into Q5II.

I tested with my SATA DVD ROM, the ROM is not detected by the Android.

No problem bro, it is part of our service.

Thank you for sharing bro. NTV was installed successfully. The free channels are limited, sport channels and movies are paid service and required subscription.

To access all channels you need to register - they give 1 week free
No need Credit Card or whatever just email and phone number for them to send you the activation code

Thanks bro :-)

Most welcome

Thank you bro :-)

I have received Q5II two weeks ago, I also tried Cloud TV for three months package, here want to ask, can cloud tv chose for the languages in the program which have duo languages? and How?

cloudtv good meh ? try many hk and china channels.. very slow.. check out the forums the support simply said the channels meant if you are surfing from china. then pay money subscribe for what ??

As I know, there is not possible to switch language within the same channel. If there is dual language channel, then it suppose to appear in two language menu under different name.

First of all, I would like to clarify that I am not reseller of CloudTV :-)

The different of paid service is it give you certain level of service availability. When the link is broken, they will fix it and always there is backup link available for contingency purpose. Compare to other paid service, Cloud TV is one of the most cost effective provider.

if it is working then can say cost effective lah.. if subscribe cannot watch / lag big time.. pay for what ?

Bro, are you tested the free channels or premium channels?

testing the free channel.. wanna see how good

Pls test the premium trial. You can test the NTV mentioned in the above few thread as well.

Once again I would like to clarify that I am not the reseller of any paid service. Just merely to share there is such service in the market.

Q5II firmware 1.0.3 is available now, pls find attached link to download the firmware. If the download speed is too slow, please kindly sent me your email to download from my sky drive. Pls check the initiate test result before upgrade.

Information to share
0). Because the upgrade will totally reformat your Q5II, please backup the apps into your external drive with the backup tool I pre-installed for you.
1). To upgrade the firmware, pls download the firmware zip file to pen-drive or portable USB disk.
2). Do not unzip the file, just save in the root directory.
3). Goto Settings -> System Upgrade -> Select the drive letter of your Pen-drive
4). The player will reboot and Green robot will show the progress of upgrade.
5). After done, the player will reboot again.
6). Restore back the Apps after firmware upgrade. The xBMC re-installation will be more time consuming, pls check the Q5 FAQ for the installation steps.
