Flashing is always device specific. But for Amlogic devices, it's quite similar.

1. Identify where the reset button is.

2. Get ready the ROM. Either in the form of MMC/SDCard flash or USB cable flash.

3. For MMC/SDCard:
Insert card, press and hold reset button, insert power.

For USB cable flash:
Needs a Window PC and USB type C male to male cable. Run the flashing software on PC, select ROM, press and hold rest button, insert cable.

Older version 8.x.x no longer works.. even with modded version.. moving forward, astro will focus only on 2.xxx.x version.. u have 2 options only at the moment:

1) buy android box with aotg support
2) someone said they can watch using chrome browser in their mibox.. but subtitles not showing up even though there is option to enable subtitle

Which is why I SUSPECT the AstroGo HD live channel is probably played via web streaming, ie the AstroGo might be using a webview object to play the video, and if the webview object is lousy, so the playback quality will be lousy.

Non-live channel might not experience the same problem as it might be played via native libraries.

tx3mini, tx3max same s905w chipset, the firmware will work.

i thought of that and tried.
i tried with 3 browsers on my ATV tv.
with puffin (ATV approved), install Ok, start Ok, but when u play, it returns error.
with chrome, brave (non ATV)... can't even install properly - message "app is not allowed..."
they took pains to block smart TVs...

So there is a difference in the streaming method used in on demand vs live channel.
