Is using a good VPN on these boxes easy? Is it as simple as just getting an app from the play store or for a good sign up is it a bit more complicated?

Happy Christmas everyone!

What you need it for? In Ireland we are quite lucky with not so many blocks on sites or add ons.

I don't know about a general remote control but if you're using XBMC get Yatse. That has a remote control app for XBMC and a remote keyboard. Very handy.

Have RC1 on my OE and works great,few skin Issues with compatibility but nothing major. Quite likely to stay until Codesnake updates the OE with14.0 stable.

M8 as I sold the MXIII 1gb but that was running sweet as with Open Elec. Have the 2gb in transit and will possibly keep that for P2P on Android.

Downloaded Kodi to H5 box and installed, got an error message upon start up, "This Kodi package is not compatible with your device(arm vs x86).

I don't know why the Square M8 became so popular..

It's got tons of problems, isn't particularly cheap and doesn't support H.265
Unless somewhere down the along the way people got confused with the Beelink M8? (Which is probably what the sellers/factory wanted.)

I wouldn't recommend the square M8 to anyone..

There's 2 versions of Kodi - for ARM and x86.

Did you download the right version?
