Thank you for your inquiry.

1). Our service is free of charge as well as the hardware bought from us. We provide free post sales support and customer repository where all my customer without IT skill could install the apps by themselves, upgrade firmware, restore kodi via our step by step guide. I still support customers that bought the 1st generation Q5 which is 4++ years ago.

2). Minix is official sponsor of Kodi, if your key requirement is Kodi, English Show, movies then definitely Minix is the choice. Himedia H8 key strength is faster CPU and support 3D movies.

3). NEO U1 support dual Channels WIFI 802.11ac and H8 support single channel.

4). I presumed typo error Reductant=redundant. Is your smart TV running Android OS ? I do not have the spec of your smart TV therefore I could not compare. Anyhow build in Smart TV has limited function where most of the audio, video codec are not supported.

5). I do handle warranty from oversea customers, as well as the hardware bought from us, we will handle for it. We are doing online business, the warranty is part of the service. Online business is very common in Europe, US and China, unfortunately majority of Malaysia buyer still has doubt about online purchase.
