  • @TheChuloKen
    @TheChuloKen Před 9 lety

    Always love your thorough reviews mate. Much appreciated.
    Quick question though... Since its a droid and u see you launched a browser, so I'm wondering if it would play the flash vids on say cricket streaming sites?

  • @damesdamo

    Your Review was awesome! Nearly all reviews I see atm never show the potential of its functionality and tend to forget about how user abusive/friendly the remote is! Anyways Im subscribed! what are your thoughts on the mx3?

  • @infraredsquirrel3683

  • @michaelgaujanian8149
    @michaelgaujanian8149 Před 10 lety

    Great video.
    As for the device, I would never pay more than $100 for that! I was enjoying the review and looking what you had to say about it. My jaw dropped when you mentioned price.
    I have a Roku 3 and love it. I think I paid $100 for it. Didn't seem any better than that?

    • @phoenexhaba9316
      @phoenexhaba9316 Před 10 lety +1

      A big difference with this box vs a Roku,Apple TV, Fire TV etc. is the pre-loading of streaming services allowing you to watch movies and tv series many in HD for FREE!. Very quickly it will pay for itself.

    • @mensshaving
      @mensshaving Před 10 lety

      Can you play games on your Roku? Free TV and Movies? Android Apps? Browser and Email? Can it play 4K? Can it connect to an external HD? Play a slideshow of your pictures form a USB Drive?
      All of these reasons are why this is superior to a Roku box.

    Great review Sir. I think I'm going to get one, or more.

    • @rfrancoi
      @rfrancoi Před 10 lety

      Update: I did get one and have NO regrets. I replaced my Raspberry Pi and observed a considerable improvement in terms of speed and quality of response. What really impressed me was the way that it handed .ISO files. It was completely flawless in terms of performance. But if you're going to use it to watch Netflix, you will be GREATLY disappointed. The images are unwatchable. I contacted SkyStream support about this and their response was as follows: "In regards to Netflix, until they officially regard our device as an Official Set Top Box, the images will not be in high resolution. That's why we install XBMC, Showbox, Videomix and other great apps which blow Netflix and its limited content away anyways. ". But again, I have NO regrets with this purchase.

  • @kasimbajramovic5763
    @kasimbajramovic5763 Před 10 lety

    As far as I can see this is just an rebranded Amlogic S802 also known as M8 (priced at 80$ and up). So buying it only makes sense for US citizens, since they don't need to import it. All other could purchase it directly from the chinese sellers and save money.

    I've never owned an android device. Call me an apple fanboy if you will, but I was using a Mac before anyone cared. Ha
    I have to say though, I'm quite intrigued and would consider purchasing one, but winning one would be better. :-)
    I have a large collection of movies on my computer and use Plex.

    @DamonMcCluney Před 9 lety

    Saf I have a question. I watched a video where a guy said it's important that you run a speed test for downloading & buffering reasons. In the video his speed was up to about 22,000 to 23,000 uploading & downloading. I'm running 100 megs here at my house & my speed test wasn't anywhere near 22,000. How many megs would I need to even get up to 10,000 for the speed test? Please get back in touch with me about this. Thanks man.

    • @havenless1423
      @havenless1423 Před 9 lety +1

      There could be various reasons for this!
      1) depending on the technology your ISP uses, you might not have consistantly 100mbits!
      Try doing a speedtests at different times of the day!
      2) maybe there is a problem with your LAN, this includes wifi signal strength, your router, ethernet cables etc
      Did you do your speedtest while you were on wifi or ethernet?
      What was the result of your speedtest?

      @seeno1 Před 9 lety

      Without a doubt the best device is the Amazon Fire TV. The support and development is much better than any device on the market..if you notice many of these devices are literally the same design, just re-packaged..go with the Amazon fire..everything about it works superior..much more refined..take it from someone who owned the skystream x4, minix, Apple TV...Amazon fire blows all of them out of the water..some vendors on eBay will side load xbmc, and it will still be cheaper than any of the above mentioned devices..or do it yourself and save $

    I just got one of these, and so far, the shit doesn't work correctly. I have about 100mbps i have through comcast. tested connections on my computer, and i get 26ms ping, 115.35Mbps download, and 11.6mbps upload (average of 3 tests in 1 hour.) tested the wifi on the skystream box (not even 12ft away from my router, which is a night hawk through netgear.) i get 32ping, 1126KBPS!!!, and 1680 upload.. so i know its not my service provider, its either got to be the wifi card or w/e is in the box, cus its either shit, or its not working correctly. AND I would love to try and get in contact with someone from skytream, BUT they're support never answers, and they're open from 9-5 eastern, closed on weekends. been trying since friday to get in contact with them. so far, not happy with this thing.

      Yes it dose. You can watch any hockey game that's going on in the world as long as you know what time it airs. That goes with any sport. NHL, NFL, MBA whatever sport you want. When you open the app you just have to search around to see which link works. It's not HD it's SD if not close to SD but very watchable.
