I was wondering when this will be for sale when I bought the Q16 last week. Oh well.

have singapore channel like channel5?

Bro, it is available now.

Singapore channels could be found in the Kodi addon and some some web streaming sites.

Why don't have USB 3.0 port?

This is Rockchip chipset, could not compare with HiSilicon specification. The USB port and input output is influenced by the Chipset. Rockchip and HiSilicon has it own strength.

Rockchip has HDMI 2.0 for higher audio video throughput.

Will USB2.0 affect smooth 4K movie playback from ext hdd?

Should be no problem bro. I strongly believe Rockchip has tested in the lab while designing the chipset.

To be noted that Minix Player only have USB2.0 port, no USB3.0.

nicety,

might be useful if u can do a simple comparison of some of the features between H8 Octa and Q16 incl...

.. what main diff in terms of performance between rockchip and hisilicon?
.. octa core vs quad core, kitkat vs lollipop... what will in mean for popular old apps, new apps?
.. hdmi 2.0 - what files, what circumstances will this be impt, e.g. wireless streaming, bdiso playback?
.. the audio codecs seems poor - can it pass thru dtshdma, ddtruehd and dd atmos?
.. this one comes with factory installed kodi, google play and skype?
.. does it come with hitv and imgotv?
.. this model looks like a direct competitor with minix, don't u think?

price looks ok...!

1). To be honest, it is not fair to compare the 2014 chip-set with 2015 chip-set, definitely the new chip-set has better performance.
2). In term of performance speed the octa core is faster then quad core, but not double the speed or significant different. So far I tested most of the apps are running well in Lollipop, yet to find none compatible apps in Lollipop. Tested SHowbox, MovieHD, Kodi, TVapp.so, PopCornTime and etc are running well in Lollipop with Rockchip 3368.
3). HDMI 2.0 improve the throughput between TV and the player. This is industries standard which ready to support the upcoming TV industries market. New TV are already come with HDMI 2.0 port, the player has to follow the industries standard for future requirement.
4). DTS-HDMA, TrueHD, TruHD Atmos passthru are tested OK. But need to manual switch audio out from LPCM to HDMI. Hisilicon chip-set is auto switch.
5). Yes, Kodi and Skype are factory installed. But I do not see any different between the manual install. Google Play Store also factory install for Q16 & Q5 Quad core model.
6). No HITV and IMGOTV fro factory default. I have presintalled HITV, but IMGOTV not possible.
7). Ya, it could direct compete with Minix model.

ok, thanks.

What do you mean by manual switch audio out from lpcm to hdmi? Usually, we just set audio output as hdmi during initial setting and that should be it, right? I would like the audio to be passthrough to the receiver. This is usually set once, and movies should be using the preferred setting, right? Please clarify. Thanks

Below is the default factory setting "LPCM" for buyer do not have AVR or Sound System, using TV speaker.


Below set the audio output to "SPDIF".


Below set the audio output as raw and pass thru to AVR.

Can you try out if it only have to set once to HDMI bitstream it will send out not thru LPCM but bitstreamming? I don't want to switch the output. Also, can test 24hz 1080p if that is working correctly plus 3D. I'm looking forward to replace my old Dune Player. What's your suggestion, Q16 or H8 Octa?

Please don't get it wrong, the setting is only set once, no need to set again.

1080p 24Hz and 3D is not a problem.

If you do not need 3D MVC then H8 will be good enough and faster processor.

I do need to playback 3D ISO. So should I get Q16 or H8 Octa?

Bro, both Q16 and H8 support 3D ISO.

You're so "nice"ty. Cmon, which one is better for 3d iso?
