Android/Dream Box [ Illegal discussion = Ban ]

Looks about all I need so think I'm going to try it. It can get a bit head-wrecking looking at so many different models , reviews, stats etc, I just need something that runs the usual suspects nice and smoothly and I like to have usb for videos I have stored on my PC - just plug and play to view on the bigger TV

Suckit was saying that there are ads on the newer software on the Chromecast and seemingly the Me Cool KM2 also has ads, which I dont like.

Just a heads up, CCGTV will have more adverts sooner possibly (expected to) break any launcher. Wolf Launcher is a pirated/cracked version of that, launcher hijack, and has been called out many times by the dev and many others. No work done by Dr. Tech or TechDr etc. except to rebrand it, and possibly inject something, why else the reluctancy to do one him or herself. So - regarding the real heads up, if using any accounts on it (Netflix/Prime/AD/Disney/Spotify etc.) be aware that they may be ending up on some of the 'working accounts' groups that are for sale. Some people claiming that they have, but idk, so best to just say that they might. I really wouldn't recommend using that version.

This looks like it might be good.

I got this 6 months ago.

Im very happy with it.

Annoyingly it's out of stock there and double their price everywhere else.

Found a 4gb/32gb one on amazon this morning for about €50 delivered so went with it.

I'd have rathered a 64gb but it was €35 more and i've a big USB stick to put in so makes no real difference.

Cheers.

It was less than a tenner more than geek buying and in stock so it wasnt worth waiting.

My minix only has 16gb and was more than enough with the USB stick so I didn't need the 64gb, just would have preferred it as it was only about a fiver more.

Fingers crossed it does the job.

Wow sorry to hear this. I tried the Netflix app on mine. audio/picture sync is fine. Maybe I updated the netflix app at some stage. I'm not sure - I use the app on my TV for netflix.

I can install my own downloaded apks from inside the app "File Browser". Have an older VLC apk on the box to allow SMB streaming from my PC. File Browser definitely has permission to install apps from unknown sources as can be seen in the Settings on the box. Maybe have a look and make sure this is enabled.

I use an air mouse pointer with a gyro on mine. Very smooth and no problems clicking on stuff.

I feel bad since I recommended this box. Hopefully you can smooth these issues out.

Any other problems post here and I'll see if I can suggest things to try.

Any reviews I found seemed decent so might just be a fault in the box somewhere.

I've an iptv app installed via an apk and it works perfectly so I can definitely install them, just any of the Netflix ones won't install. I'm gonna do a factory reset tomorrow and start from scratch and see how it goes.

It is a decent box. It was selling on Cdiscount for €100 up until recently (ignore the €149.99 'normal' price). It's only on sale for a week, will probably go back up.

I'm guessing main issue is firmware, which is also sometimes fixed by just performing a factory reset.

Just an update on the h96 max plus.

I've done a factory reset, deleted any apps I won't use, including Netflix.

I installed any apps I wanted and found an apk for Netflix that works perfectly. Air mouse was working perfectly too.

Plugged in my USB and the airmouse started acting up again. Very slow and jittery and it just doesn't work properly. Plugged out my USB stick and the airmouse was perfect again so there's some issue there.

There's 1 USB 2.0, and 1 USB 3.0 so I tried swapping the mouse receiver and the USB but the mouse doesn't work at all in the USB 3.0.

Im stumped. Just gonna go back to my minix I think and wait for the shop to get back to me about it.

Kind of, anything on it would have been downloaded from my other box that I'm looking to replace. I generally download onto the internal memory, then move it to the USB.

It's a 128gb 3.0 stick with roughly 25/30gb on it.

I also put in another older 32gb 2.0 stick that was empty and the air mouse started acting up again. Took it out and its perfect.

Cheers. That's a major issue if the 3.0 means you can't use an air mouse because of interference. The box is pretty useless without one.

I can't plug my mouse into the 3.0 cos it doesn't work, and can't use the 3.0 if the mouse is in the 2.0. That's makes the box pretty much not fit for use, for my use anyway.

Surprised this hasn't come up on Google or video reviews when I searched up on the box.

I ended up buying this box, finding it very decent for the money - the only adverts I've seen were on YT and not so many, on NF and Prime where I have a paid acc already obviously zero adverts. It's quick, have had no trouble with stuttering or audio, I play everything 1080p and picture quality has been sound all through [watched many docu's and movies to date] flicking between Prime and NF is almost instant even after one running for a while, haven't noticed any degrading in image quality, have tested all across the apps I got at full 1080p and it's been seemless - probably worth the investment into a higher end box if you happen to want above 1080p but this can do 4K apparently - I have no reason to doubt it, I think the limit will be your net con
