Hey all, does anyone know if/where one can purchase/source one of these boxes? I have an MXQ pro+ running the latest build, and would like to add another one or two to my arsenal. The challenge is finding one.
It is quite difficult to buy a used box these days, because on the one hand it is rare, and on the other hand, if you find one, the seller sometimes gives it at a price that is usually not worth it.
Interestingly enough, I managed to get Libreelec working on my amlogic s805 based box, only With MXQ image (which more closely resembles the specs of the Freesat Angel V8 box I got) I only managed to get to the Kodi splash screen (where it got stuck), and with the lower speced M201D firmware - it booted without a hitch - although Bluetooth does not work, the network speed is a tad slow, and some things just get the box frozen. It still works MUCH better than with the Android 4.4.2 that comes with the box (and cannot be updated). So thanks.
The limiting factor and the reason for the freezes, may be the lack of memory. 512 MB is not too much.
Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are also quite a gamble. The quality of the drivers integrated into the 3.14 kernel and chips themselves are not very good.
