A8 Plus (Singapour - streambox) android Combo BOX - review

[mnazmi]

With limited experience and after some research into which box should replace my old, and now slow, 300MHZ DM800HD I reached the conclusion that a combo box is ideal with iptv anall. And amongst the contenders A8 Plus has the highest spec. I bought this unit from Aliexpress and after using it here is my opinion:

Terrible software facility for managing favourites, for example A-Z filtering misses many channels, favourites channels can not be sorted, nor favourite lists ordered. Can only move round favourite groups one way. etc..
The device is not rooted so using Apps like sifs manager to mount NAS folders is not possible.
No standby. Either on of off. So every time you want to watch TV you have to in effect boot.

When trying to root this device I managed to get it into a boot loop which made the device unworkable. In trying to get the firmware to reflash non of Aliexpress sellers, nor any other site selling thin unit on the net replied to my repeated calls for help.

In conclusion I have to say that the purchase of this unit should be avoided since alternatives like sgemma H5 (which I now have bought) is a better unit and has much support. For the newbees like myself my advise would be that anything which is not an Enigma is not worth the hassle.



PS: I am still looking to see who makes this unit.

one of the same issues when buying clones or Chinese items is lack of support from them,have you tried a google search as you might get lucky?
