I'm a buyer and am definitely enjoying using it. I download Korean dramas from a paid site and this box is super smart - I previously used the Seagate Media Player and that one has complex remote control that isn't user friendly. This one is much better although I recommend anyone thinking of getting this to purchase the Air Mouse as well (using your Android phone as a control is helpful but cumbersome - wonder if a USB keyboard is better).

I have essentially NO Astro and mainly watch Al Jazeera for news.

@ Natzakaria - I am having trouble with the Flash sites (bloomberg tv/Aussie Open) - reinstalled Flash from Nicety but it doesn't seem to work. Any advice?

I'm low tech - only know how to use the browser.

Aust Open streams on their own website but it is using Flash. And at the moment, I'm having trouble getting the Flash player to cooperate.

Ah, sounds like a great workaround. Will give it a go.

For those who are looking at this product, I have ditched Astro but am still looking at workarounds for a lot of things. But if you are torrenting and downloading, you really don't need Astro, unless you want news.

The biggest problem with this box is that many streaming platforms are still stuck in Flash which ICS hates. This box cannot use Chrome (as a workaround) although I use a Mac and am going to test the Airplay capability. The only reliable channel that actually streams perfectly is Al Jazeera - this is the only channel you can actually 'use' like it is a TV channel.

Much of the content is orientated at Chinese-language users although I'm working on discovering what else can be done. However, it works like a dream if you download and playback. Also I'm using a TV that is at least 6 years old (LCD) and it works just fine (although a bigger TV is probably needed if you really want to experience the HD in it's full glory)

Will post a better review after I've tried the suggested workaround.

Just tried it. No luck. Looks like we'll just have to wait till everyone gets around to HTML 5 perhaps.

Avoid JustinTV - does not work.
Mediashare Lite - this is not live streaming and the content can be quite dated (not sure about the paid version).

A way to work around the FLASH problem if you also happen to have a Mac device is using Airplay, which this box, (sorry if I'm gushing) does beautifully. Nicety's video on how the Airplay function works is exactly as it works although you have to spend some time to familirise yourself with the process.

Worked for bloomberg tv. BYE BYE ASTRO.

Nicety - do you recommend then that I upgrade the Firmware since I'm not using XMBC?

Note that on my version, the Flash is still not working irregardless of whether it's Chrome (which doesn't work that well), or ICS Browser (installed latest version of flash)

On the use of Airplay - this can be a tad bit unstable at times and you need to make sure you're NOT running any other apps ie: Music PLayer or it will get confused.

PPS with Proxy yes?
