that price, u get the 50" only 1.5 years ago.

i think the life of this model is near the end, last stocks, i would think.

i would expect a new model to come out this year, with HDR and an upgraded android.

of course, prices for new model with go bakc up like all models when newly launched.

i have the 50" for >1 yr already, made many posts here, so u may want to check them.

like i hv said many times here, the best thing about this 4kTV besides the great colors is the google androidtv 5.1 inside, same as that found in sony and philips 4ktv's. if u know google android from yr tablet or phone or box, it's easy for u as it is the same thing. but if totally new, been using windows/ipad/iphone, never google android, will take some time to learn as it is different.

the ue630x comes with google playstore and google/sharp approved apps like kodi, youtube 4k, netflix 4k, bloomberg, es file explorer. there are less than what u see with other devices where there are like a million apps. however, u can sideload other apps via usb using an app called es file explorer. only when the tv detects a malware or potentially harmful stuff will it reject and not install.

all things about "androidtv box" will apply to the android in the tv.

kodi is one big app, empty by itself, u need to build it. takes a while to learn how to build, use and maintain. not for the impatient or hv no time. when successful, can be highly rewarding, incl 4k video streams.

i have been using google android for a few years now, so i am familiar with it on all devices. if u have good broadband speed like >25mbps, u can get a lot of good stuff, incl 4k videos. the android built in the ue630x is a good one, as good as those selling rm200-300 in the market now. for certain things, i use the tv, no need a separate box. i use box mainly for usb playback of high video and audio quality files thru home theater.

Users of ue630x, if u have 25mbps or higher speed, u can get 4k movies from kodi.

I hv used it for a few days now.

Selection is limited but works well.

Get kodi addon called sanctuary. Inside, find silent hunter, 4k.

Correct.. TM's offer of "free" upgrade was extended from December 31, 2016 to 28th February, 2017.. TIME still rules... Grab that if you can.

u got the tv too?

using tv kodi or box kodi?

for a start, if u know kodi enough, it is never very reliable unless u r using a paid VPN.

the 4k videos in pandora box and merlin project m do not work well.

but most of them in silent hunter work, with some actually 1080 only!

also, unifi being unifi, the performance can vary from place to place, from time to time.

keep trying, u should get some of it.

50mbps may help too.
btw, are the youtube 4k videos working good?

they should.

for playback, better use box as the TV usb playback is sensitive to certain types of HDD.

there is 8-9gb memory in the tv, can sideload some good apps too.

when u get round to it, register for netflix, try the 4k videos there. 1 month free trial still on, i think.

btw, r u using ethernet or wifi, how far?

using stock or own router?

streaming works best with ethernet.

wifi 5m/15ft... i suggest u consider replacing with a better router, makes a lot of difference for max speed and stability.
