Nice review! Do you know if the twitch app is available in the store?

[@xctechs]

I really do not remember, you can check the google playstore to see if it is there. I am sure you can sideload if it is not part of google play store.

[@goletra]

Hi, I'm not clear about the screen resolution. On AID64 it says the resolution is 1280x720, does it mean the resolution only changes to 1920x1080 when you launch KZbin, for example? I'm interested in getting this to run CDisplayEx, but if it can only run at 1280x720 that's not going to work for me.

[@xctechs]

Ok so the chipset produces 720p but the HDMi can show increase the resolution to 4K 30 fps. That is why I have indicated 720p native resolution, it something chips can only produces.

[@faqihexo7705]

I just bought it yesterday when I tried it, it got hot quickly, other than that, overall it was good.

Hey does this box get pay per views and cable channels .. theatre movies etc. please respond

[@cryovaced]

To power on, does it require the remote instruction? I received the package without the remote batteries so was wondering why its not giving any display when I connect HDMI and power.

[@xctechs]

no, hookup the box to power and make sure your HDMI is connected to TV and make sure you are on proper port on your TV and it should show you the main screen, if don't work then contact your seller.

[@khizarrehan3473]

I have tried every possible solution found online from clearing cache to trying to update from aptoide. However, it always says app can't be installed (tried versions 17-22 of plays store) . Weird thing is other other unit updates just fine.
