Bro, it is available now.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Bro, both Q16 and H8 support 3D ISO.

Sorry bro, I was unable to differentiate between the two in term of 3D ISO, both H8 and Q16 are use the same Himedia Native Player App, both are playing well on 3D ISO media file.

Please find below motion chain test video clip on H8 Octa Core :

1080p@23.976fps


1080p@24fps


1080p@25fps



Below link explain the test clips :

The same test could be found in Q16 Quad Core thread :

First of all, I would like to clarify that we are not selling iptv service or movies content.

We are merely selling the android TV hardware and preinstalled with free streaming apps. The free streaming apps have latest HK, China, Korean and U.S. latest
dramas and series.

However, if you want to watch commercial sports channels and news, you need some effort to search the availability. if you would like to have effortless sport channels then you need to subscribe to those iptv service. We do not sell iptv service either because of the legality.

Thank you for inquiry, just pmed to you.

The 6 months free trial China VPN not support in H8 Octa Core because the processor is still new.

Voice of China could watch, do not need VPN.

I think you have missed understanding, the free trial 60 days China VPN is given by Wangqu not from me.

Sorry bro, cod only available in Penang. Warranty is 12 months, just pmed you the price.

Thank you for inquiry, just pmed to you.

Not recording but some apps allow you to download.
