    My brother is in the market for a cheap TV box - will this allow him to plug an external HDD with rips in mkv mp4 etc. into the unit and provide playback (from external hdd)?

    eg Videos / Browse to hdd / Select file / Play? Nice to see this unit supports .h265

    I don't think you would get better than 720P performance

    Not sure if I should fire up first and upgrade straight away.
    Anyone else done a upgrade for this model?
    Shlocker, What's the verdict on the V88 box?
    I bought my son one for Christmas so I'd like your imput before I test it.
    Does it record to a stick and will the Foxtel Go and Frreview Plus apps work on this machine?
    Thanks.

    Just received the box and start testing it. So far so good.
    I have 1 problem straight away though. Couldn't setup Ethernet to static mode. Doesn't let me to save the settings for some reason.
    Is it something I am missing?
    In DHCP works Ok, just like controlling IP addresses at home.

    Its pretty good box, works well.
    I don't record so not sure.
    As for Foxtel Go, Presto, Fetch TV etc. Those apps don't work.
    These apps are meant for phone devices and not for big screen viewing.
    It comes up with message saying not for jail broken device.
    Anyway, now waiting for delivery of
    NEXBOX A95X-B7N Amlogic S905X Smart TV Box Quad core 4Kx2K WiFi Bluetooth 1G+8G
    This was only $22.
    V88 is useless now because I used wrong power adaptor 12v instead
    of the provided 5v. R.I.P.

    It's a great unit plays everything I want however it has a Netflix lip-sync issue I've been unable to resolve.

    Try changing the resolution down (or up) one setting at a time until (hopefully) it is in sync, read this tip some where else
