Thank you for inquiry. H8 is ready stock, next business dispatch after payment done.

Just pmed you my bank detail and link to place order.

Thanks for inquiry. Just pmed to you.

Hi Nicety,
I noticed your Himedia support drive - H8 Octa Core 1.0.6 folder is empty.
Is the latest firmware 1.0.6 released ?

Hi, I'm interested in getting a media player. Very new to this and hope you can help me with the following.

1. How is this different than Mi Box?
2. Will it have access to thousands of channels? (wishful thinking)
3. Need to subscribe to services like IPTV?
4. Will it run on a 5mbps unifi connection?
5. Possible to watch netflix?
6. What's your website? I can't find it on the main page.

tq

Yes, firmware 106 is ready. Please allow me some time to upload.

Thank you for inquiry.

1). If you compare the spec of Himedia and Mibox, the spec obviously tell you the different. Himedia is traditional media player manufacturer, Himedia box is combination android player and media player which support wide range of audio and video codec that typical Android player do not have.

2). No, there is no thousands of channels, but hundreds of channels world wide from different language. To be noted free service does not have service guarannty. The service could stop any times.

3). If you would like certain level of guaranty, you need r subscribe to iptv service.

4). Online streaming require 4Mbps and above. To be noted that your unify bandwidth is best effort within Malaysia, when you stream from oversea, it does not guaranteed you have 5Mbps.

5). Netflix is paid service, if you have Netflix account and VPN account then you can watch Netflix.

6). We would prefer to interact with customer via Lowyat forum instead of static web site. http://www.penangapps.com/Common/Ads.aspx?AdsID=174

Thanks.

Please pm me best price.

A quick update here.

Got my H8 yesterday (Fri) even though Nicety sent it on Monday. I am renaming Pos Laju to Pos Sangat-Tak-Laju! Their web tracking update is quite useless, not updated on time and some parts missing. I think it is the working mentality there causing the delay. Next time, use normal courier though it may be a few dollars more expensive.

Have watched 2 movies now using H8. Though I am still on streamyx 2 Mb, I buffer it up and then watch them. Plan to switch over to Unifi. Managed to watch Harry Potter (the last episode) with my wife, her favourite movie. Picture and sound qualities are good, better than the torrent version (usually cam version). So, I have brought a cinema to my house! Ha.

The TV box user interface needs some getting use to.

AA
Frustrating with the mouse control on the H8 remote. Like to have feedback from other users on how they find the Air Mouse, wireless mouse etc. Difficulty in getting it to do what you want can take the enjoyment out in watching otherwise an entertaining movie. So like to sort this one out.

BB
There are many settings in Kodi. You select this or that. For some, I do not know what it will do if I selected A etc. Is there a manual describing all these options? Then I can optimise the settings for my use.

CC
Like to know whether it is ok to set up both cabling:
1. HDMI from H8 to TV
2. RCA cables from H8 to AVR, AVR to TV

Switch on AVR when I am watching action movies or concerts. Normal viewing will be from H8 to TV.

DD
Any one here tried the Beast or SpinzTV build on your H8? Your feedback - good and bad?

Many thanks.


P/S For BB, found some infor from http://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:Confluence/Settings

Quick help for AA is plug in the PC mouse either wire or wireless, the mouse will improve the navigation.

Thanks.

Now it is either wireless mouse or keyboard.

Hi nicety, please pm me best price.

Thank you for inquiry, we are selling firm price. Just pmed to you.

Noted the Kodi in my H8 is version 14. Can I install Kodi V15 without loosing the current setup?

As simple as going to kodi site and click on the latest version?

Thanks.

Yes, you can. But to be noted that some addons not compatible with 15 which you need to reinstall if not working and you need to add again SuperRepo where the repository differrentiate between Helix and lsengard.

aa.

i use both air mouse and wireless mouse but on 2 diff devices.
my experience is wireless mouse is easier.
air mouse has keyboard but my fingers too fat for the small buttons.
note - for some apps functions, the REMOTE is required, mouse can't do.

cc.
hdmi to tv is good becos u want the best picture quality and still get tv sound.
rca cables... i think this model does not have coaxial (round orange) but only optical (black square) toslink connection unlike q16 which have both.
you need to buy toslink cable (inexpensive from any diy store) if u do not have it.
optical or coaxial are digital, u get dts/dolby but can't get dsthdma/dolby truehd - this, only hdmi can handle.
try not to use rca cables for l/r (white/red) for avr as this gives stereo only, not so good.
