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/.
Bit of a look at Performance over all again not a speed demon not alot of beef
Fine as a DTV and the usual Internet medium performance...It works ok
Goes for about $78us at

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!
Nice box down to 76us$ now...
Should have Level 1 widevine soon also if not now
