I find the m8 streams fine. When using Kodi and going through channel menus in the navix addon for example it might kick you out every so often. Or might kick you out when browsing channels. But if you have a good live stream its ok. If buffering heaps it tries to keep up but not sure if it runs out of memory and then eventually goes back to the channel list. Might appeared locked up when you select a channel at times but that channel then seems to be inactive so probe seems reasonable but it doesn't always go back to the channel list after it times out. You have to hit the home button to go back to the home screen and go back into kodi. Streaming a movie or show with Kodi, its been good. I almost wonder why I subscribed to Netflix. But might be a different story when I get back to oz. I find the Netflix interface not as good as using Internet Explorer because I can't seem to select the episode in a series but it will play the next one in order no probs. All in all pretty happy with it. I want to get a dual boot Pipe X7s dual boot windows/android box and then see if that behaves the same.

just to add something different, ive got a zidoo x9 it has HDMI in, where you can schedule and record from a hdmi source.



its good for me as it records from my MX box, just recently got it but its been good recording NBA when im at work,
kodi works good but i dont use addons, i use my MX box with my IPTV sub.

the built in explorer and player has been good at playing movies from my network.

Keep in mind most hdmi recorder boxes won't record 5.1 dolby digital just PCM stereo usually as mp4 with stereo aac.

I would say the mags boxes are most stable at the minute. I have an apple tv box which is good also

Thanks

yeah confirm its only stereo aac.
even though its in stereo, the recorder is very useful for my setup, for others its probably a useless function.

Can anyone with one of these let us know what they think of it ?

They are a bit of a step up in price, but I dont mind paying a bit more for something a bit better than the M8.

I have one and am very happy with it, but I bought it when the Aussie Dollar was high and the price much more reasonable. If I was buying at the moment I would go for a Transmart as per my previous posts. It is much better value for money and so far seems to work as well as the Minix.
