yea i think AC Ryan and Dune box are pretty solid back then but its not android unit so sideloading app is almost impossible

yeah, we have seen how boxes evolve over time vis-a-vis apps and smart tvs.

older boxes got obsolete as android took over, streaming apps become popular.

they also got left behind with new dev in video/audio - framerates, resolution, HDR, format types, dtsx, atmos audio, etc.

today, i find most good apps are already in smart ATV tvs, no need for boxes to do the job.

boxes to me r mostly for local playback.

about ATV tv apps, there r plenty, more than u can watch.

just unifitv alone will give u live news, tv shows, older movies, sports.

netflix, amazon, disney, igiyi, wetv are all on ATV.

now, quantity is no more lacking... it's more about picture and audio quality! biggrin.gif

it has auto resolution and auto framerate features.

every video it plays, it checks and play it at the correct resolution and framerate.

whether or not it upscales, i dunno...

but... it does appear to my eyes those in 720p are upscaled.

can't be sure about 1080p.

overall, is the PQ good? YES for all types - 1080p, 2160p, SDR, HDR, DV.

overall, is the audio pass thru good? YES for all types - DD, DTS, DD+, DDtrueHD, DTSHDMA, Atmos, DTSX.

Price of the equivalent Dune is much higher.

the Dune model is new, will have many bugs... the zidoo been around almost 2 years, stable firmware.

i have been buying boxes for >10 years... the z10pro i bought is the smoothest, easiest to use! thumbsup.gif

but i mean focus on local playback, not online streaming apps.

what's your firmware?

beta version have now reached 6.4.06.
http://forum.zidoo.tv/index.php?threads/be...-release.93680/

i just updated to v6.3.92_G, recommended by seller.
http://forum.zidoo.tv/index.php?threads/be...-release.93323/

impt to note these extra steps to install GooglePlay:

QUOTE
You first have to "Google Play Protect" certify your player and next need to activate the Google Play Store:
1. Open Play Store, then close it - this generates the GSF ID
2. Goto Zidoo Quick Settings/Other/About and take a note of the GSF ID (take photo)
3. In any web browser on any platform, goto www.google.com/android/uncertified, log in and enter GSF ID and hit <Register>
4. Restart Z9X as a now Google Play Protect certified device
5. Start Google Play Store again and register/activate your Google account
You are now ready to use the Google Play Store.


the seller i bought z10pro from is very helpful. anyone wanting to buy a zidoo can chat with him first:

Claim warranty, top up to change to z10pro or z1000 la... biggrin.gif

I m very happy with the z10pro... wonderful 4khdr picture, atmos, dtsx audio. Yet to use DV.

Now, i have playstore, youtube too. The 4khdr PQ on youtube is excellent.

Imo, zidoo Z10pro is a great successor to himedia q10pro! thumbsup.gif

a lot of things have changed since the first boxes came out like 12-13 years ago.

now, broadband speed is much higher, illegit sites get hammered, legit streaming is much cheaper, video files much better quality.

no longer need boxes for streaming but need them for playback of monster files for best PQ/AQ.

smart TVs very good now, AndroidTV/GoogleTV will give u the best stuff, no need any box!


one thing i need to decide in the near future - to go DV on new tv or projector (even latest models can't do HDR yet).

over time, i come to accept we can't escape new tech, faster broadband speeds.

these days, i look for HDR10 as that's what my equipment can do.

the video output is obviously good, better than ever, movie or TV shows.

as time goes by, i notice more n more coming out in DV, HDR10+.

this one, also can't escape... i will follow... biggrin.gif


audio... ddtruehd +atmos is certainly the best at this time, next will be DD+ +atmos.

dtsx, dtshdma losing in the audio race.
