    Default TV Box

    Any one looking for a cheap box you cannot go past this, think the offer is open for a short time, like another 12 hours?

    Sure is cheap enough... But;

    Only 1GB RAM
    No idea on App Support
    No idea on Firmware support

    Price is very good though.
    Come with AU plug... bonus

    Great find allover
    Hard to pull the trigger without TV tuners in them now, but i'm so tempted.

    It offer is still valid and will be for three more days. It is cheap but I am confuse about its service quality. Anyone is using this TV box? Will it be a good option?

    This 2GB-RAM-8GB-ROM was on Ozbargain price seems ok AU$44.32.
    Seller also gives an additional US $1.00 discount coupon.Also If you purchase through cashrewards there's another 11% off during the 11/11 sale.

    Technically the power supply isn't to Australian standards as the pins aren't insulated

    The SCISHION V88 TV Box Rockchip 3229 came today in post.
    Might have a look tonight.
    But, I notice there is a firmware update online 27/08/2016.
    Not sure if I should fire up first and upgrade straight away.
    Anyone else done a upgrade for this model?

    Tried to update via sd card but no luck,(me not doing some thing correctly) although things went a little faster after stuffing around and Kodi had updated to latter version, only paid A$26 for mine? think i must have had some credits. My rating 4.8 out of 5. Have a Minix which i paid A$175 and it is nearly comparable to it. Definitely no difference when watching Kodi. Just as good/comparable to the recent Aldi box @ $80, don't think an extra Gb of memory would make much difference to this box
    So in conclusion if you want a cheap second box or set up a relative/friend or a xmas box for a limited budget go for it
    ps a Logitech key board makes a big difference when operating

    pps they are still doing updates as mentioned above posts

    I had trouble with update to.
    You have to rename the the file to update.img on sd card.
    Put in box and then wait a minute, a window box will pop up asking
    do you want to update. Click yes and let it boot up again after the install is complete.
    Then it will ask you if you want to delete the update file.
    I can also only compare to the $80 Aldi box.
    For the cost, this does the job better.
    Infact it displays 4k on a 4kTV, I have not connected Aldi box to 4k so not sure
    but I think it only displays 720p.
