QUOTE(voncrane @ Feb 15 2017, 12:06 AM) A break indeed you must have. You asked what we thought about the box and by we, you undoubtedly meant fellow forummers. Dwrk merely responded with his design thoughts, as per such an open-ended question. Ain't nothing wrong with that. Of course he as well as frequent posters in here knew you were interested in the box's performance. However, and as you've noticed, excessive spoonfeeding is highly frowned upon in a public forum.  I saw you pointed him to jayceooi's overview...nothing more for me to add there... just tambah the aesthetic component.  To be honest, I quite like the bright Lego colors...cute conversation starter piece if there is ever one... zombie24 peace bro...

Hi Guys i have been using the MiniX Neo X8-H Plus 4K Ultra-HD fro slightly more than a year now. It work perfectly with Kodi. Now in order to update to Kodi 17 (which requires Android 5.x.x ) i cannot do so. Is there anyone who know how to upgrade the firmware on the X8 (it does not do it automatically like my Samsung phone) or can it be done? Thanks in advance. Suren

Suren What's the version number of the currently installed firmware? Latest is FW11. The Neo X8-H plus has an OTA update feature. So either you are already on the latest firmware or the firmware you have installed is too old and doesn't have OTA updates built in. Either way, head over to the official Minix forum and you'll see instructions there. Last I checked, the Neo X8-H Plus will not (at least officially) be getting a Lollipop update.

At this point or in the near future, you might be thinking about a hardware upgrade.. It appears that Kodi is important to you and desire its update. With the exception of the likes of Nvidia Shield TV box... Hold off on purchasing newer hardware till this whole Kodi v17+ is sorted out by chipset and box manufacturers. You are welcome..

Yes Kodi is important to me as it is currently my only source of entertainment. When you say Hardware update you actually mean buy a new box right? Thanks bro. Sorry ya a bit of blur when it comes to this kind of things.

Thanks bro. Sorry ya a bit of blur when it comes to this kind of things. Yes, I meant getting a newer and better device. Same here, over 90% of my box's usage is through Kodi. From Krypton, the Kodi folks have made their move.. Now, we find out if it's that important to make manufacturers step up too. My money is on yes..

just to inform people I just got my Ziddo X6 Pro box, the box is really bad. Very weak wifi signal and hangs a lot.
Better to go for the cheaper X1 box. Faster and smoother. Rm200 cheaper as well
