QUOTE(plumberly @ Jan 7 2016, 09:36 AM) A quick feedback from me on my H8 journey here .... Thank you for the feedback bro. But the support not 24/7, need to eat and sleep Past 15+ years using ASTXX. Bought my H8 and after trying it out for about a month, cancelled ASTXX last month. Now on H8! The Good, The Bad and the Ugly GOOD * much better choice and variety of TV shows, movies than ASTXX! Eg Adam Ruins Everything, concerts, etc. Watch what and when I want to! * no problem with Korean, Taiwan TV shows for my wife * no problem for my 3 kids watching their respective programs * NICETY has been most helpful in sorting out my problems, even on the recent New Year day! He is there 24/7! * NICETY has lots of updates in his Skydrive. Some good APK in there but only for NICETY's customers. Ha. BAD * my wife misses ASTRO's #306 Chinese news (better than Channel 7, 8 news) * even with 2 GB and 16 GB hardware in H8, one will reach the limit for apk installation in no time! Unless one is very stringent in what one installs. * annoying when one has to use mouse for certain add-on and apk, rather than just the remote. Wish one day, all add-ons and apks can be used with EITHER mouse OR remote. UGLY * being new to Android and Kodi, can be a nightmare for beginners like me while trying out things. E.g. installed iStream the other day thinking it was an add-on, it messes up the configuration I have set up in Kodi add-on. iStream is a build! Be ware! Need a quick lesson on terms like add-on, build, apk, etc, etc. Cannot undo with the above mistake. A pity! Have to re-install Kodi etc. NICETY has the 5 easy steps for this. * Android has rather frequent version updates. Version 16 is coming soon. Resulting problem is having to re-install Kodi, add-ons, build, etc. Maybe there is a simpler way to save one's configurations (Kodi & apk) and reuse them after the Android update. Will find out later. After going through this steep learning curve, would I still cancel my ASTXX and switch over to H8 if I could turn back time? YES! Lots more things to explore and enjoy! Get the TVBox with at least 2 GB to minimise annoying problems creeping up in your TV show/movie discovery! Hook up H8 to AVR for better sound enjoyment while watching movies and concerts! Now I have a cinema in my house! Ha. Cheerio. P/S I am on Streamyx 8 Mbps and so far not much problems in streaming even when my kids are on wifi. I'm also generic users, I share what I have learned in the past to my customers in order to Optimise the box and apps functionality. Please bear with me if my response some slow. Today received email from Netflix,the service already for Malaysia, no VPN require anymore. Will test it if the apps works well for Rickchip and HiSilicon Chipset.

No buffering, good picture quality etc etc. Only complaint is I cannot pause the movie. Once you start it, no more control. Ha. Maybe it is because I do not know how to do that.I'm also generic users, I share what I have learned in the past to my customers in order to Optimise the box and apps functionality.

QUOTE(MX510 @ Jan 7 2016, 12:55 PM) Just signup the first free month with Netflix standard package, it works perfectly in both Q16, Q5 and H8 Octa Core. Please to be noted HD only available for standard package, basic package do not support HD.Please to be noted, Netflix will start the movies with SD at the beginning and slowly increase the resolution to HD, it is handle automatically by Netflix. Subtitle available for English, French and Chinese, but I did not see any Malay subtitle yet. This post has been edited by nicety: Jan 7 2016, 10:40 PM |

QUOTE(syltel @ Jan 7 2016, 05:59 PM) Just install the APK file start with 00-EN xxxxx.apk in my skydrive, you could find English tv shows from those apps.Dear Customers, The APK files in my skydrive has just recently restructure, where the file name indicate it is English apps or Chinese apps. File name start with 00-EN are primary apps that working fine and 01-EN indicate secondary apps, 99-EN are common tools such as ES Explorer, Backup tools and Browser. Those APK file without the new naming convention are apps which not common use or obsoleted apps. |

i just had a look at H8 1+8.
if i just want to watch online tv & movie, watch many of my offline movies (in external hdd), is H8 1+8 enough? i understand (may be wrong) that even the 2+16 has a bigger storage (16gb), it has been partitioned in such that user partition is quite small to install a lot of other apps. Not sure if pay more for 16gb is worth or not. |

The 2GB RAM and 1GB RAM have significant different when you interact with the Android OS, Apps loading, file copy and etc. The 16GB flash is partitioned into 3 : OS, Apps(2GB) and Data(11GB). The 2GB Apps partition will limit the number of apps install, around 40 apps. The data partition is the user partition to store downloaded movies or staging space. The staging space is important for torrent base streaming application. For 8GB flash, the partition will be : OS, Apps(2GB) and Data(3GB).if i just want to watch online tv & movie, watch many of my offline movies (in external hdd), is H8 1+8 enough? i understand (may be wrong) that even the 2+16 has a bigger storage (16gb), it has been partitioned in such that user partition is quite small to install a lot of other apps.

QUOTE(ahvk88 @ Jan 10 2016, 02:15 PM) i just had a look at H8 1+8. My advice is to get the 2+16 version. I was thinking of getting the 1+8 version first as a test, add memory if needed. Checked with Nicety on whether I could add the memory later if I needed it.if i just want to watch online tv & movie, watch many of my offline movies (in external hdd), is H8 1+8 enough? i understand (may be wrong) that even the 2+16 has a bigger storage (16gb), it has been partitioned in such that user partition is quite small to install a lot of other apps. Not sure if pay more for 16gb is worth or not. Answer is, no, cannot add memory. Like your mobile phone. You are stuck with what you purchased. I am already facing memory problem even with 2+16 version. Wish that they have a 4+32 version! Ha. Enjoy your new toy! |

The GOOD Easier to use. Starts streaming without any problem (unlike Kodi where luck plays a part). The BAD Not much choice after watching a few of what you fancy. Watched the one about the internet boy (Aaron S) yesterday. Pity him at what happened to him. The DECISION I don't think I will continue with it after my free 1 month! Ha. And Kodi & apk are better in choice and variety. |
