thanks for yr comments.

yes, the seller did tell me that, and i'm ok with it.

becos i already have other devices that can run astrogo, no need for this one.

explanation is probably the firmware change.

tx3 mini is a high value box, no doubt.

i also bought tx5 max, which is a lot more powerful - s905x2, 4+32gb, gigabit ethernet, ac wifi.

both are working the way i want them to do.

the only thing missing is auto framerate switching and hd audio (dtshdma, ddtruehd, dtsx, atmos).

for that, i hv yet another box.
