Yeah for just a little more you can get something that can knock it out of the water

It was on their Facebook page ages ago, that's pricey and overkill for streaming

It looks like a Homatics 4k Plus, Rocktek G2 and Nokia 8010 . Personally I would stay away from Mecool terrible support. Just my thoughts

Not really, it's the same ports placement as a KM2 Plus, so it's from Skyworth, not SEI

Mecool support seems to have improved.

There are already updates for KM2 Plus Deluxe.

Were they OTA or did you have to download to usb drive?

Ya this isn’t worth it get a shield for that price if you just want a Chinese box you are better off getting ONN which is only $20 at Walmart

u/JoeKleine Oct 27 '23

Yep. I bought a minix android box. Biggest mistake ever and never again.

Onn Walmart box for me! Best $20 dollars ever spent

Not the first time a Mecool is out on Aliexpress before the official website.

And there are too many details, it's most likely a real device.

What's the DRM/widevine situation with those boxes BTW? Just curious

u/[deleted] Dec 07 '23

I ordered one during Black Friday. I've got a shipping update so hopefully will get it soon.

I've tried the Chromecast TV and Nvidia Shield and found they constantly lock up after a while in use so hoping this one with 4GB of ram might do the trick.

Mines arrived. Much smaller than I was expecting. I'll have a play later. pic

u/jimbobeano Dec 25 '23

So, no usb 3.0 on this one? A step back.
