    Tv Centre is a version of Kodi used by Mecool and do as you please.
    DTV app is the for Tuning, Recording,
    TV and other modes that are available with using this Unit.
    Runs a little warm.

    DTV app is same as other Mecool DTV Units

    So a bit off a look see.

    Look around UI and system
    Running Android 7 minor quirks with detecting USB Keyboard it forgets it after reboot
    As Mentioned typical Mecool/Videostrong UI and apps/.

    Same TV APP as other Mecool K or Video Strong DTV

    A separate app to run called DTV, will check it out to how good it can be for FTA TV.
    No Satellite stuff here to check.

    Much the same as K1 and KII

    Run up the DTV app select Auto scan Hmm nothing...Ok help if we plug the TV antenna in.
    Also need to set the Media Player up to Australia in DTV setting Menu

    Scanned and all channels found easy.
    100% Sig and Quality
    Using Log periodic type antenna and about 30k form the TV towers (bit of wet string would prolly do)

    Picture Quality looks ok and time between channel change 2~3 second
    EPG looks ok
    and other functions to set up PVR Time Record, Channel Sort, Favorites, Parental Control
    Easy as.
    I find the Remote is Designed more for the TV/Sat function of the box than Normal Android.
    As I normally use the k400 logitech with android it not a problem here, other may find it a problem.

    First thing we get greeted with when running the DTV app


    Menu to Select Country/Region, select DVT Preference


    Back to Installation and scan


    Easy


    EPG from Remote


    All features selected are overlaid a top of the TV Image,
    Was not able to snap TV Images only overlays at this stage.
    All functions are access from remote.

    ON Screen Display (dark room picture)


    Edit Channel List


    PVR Settings


    PVR Storage Device


    Favorite Channel to be added


    Channel info and Sub titles


    And a little music if the FTA gets to much


    These images are from the KIII box all the same...

    No shortage of these boxes around now
    They must be a hit in countries that offer a lot of FTA DVB-S2
    If u want to go on an expedition get a Land Rover, if u want to come home from an expedition get a Landcruiser!
