    Does this firmware fix the problem with no video on older 720p only TVs.

    Have tried on over 10 older Tvs that were sold before 1080p was invented and none of them work.

    Are the unit available in 20 sets from Shenzhen, China? I can have our logistic team bring it in to the USA from there. What would the cost per set of 20 be?

    The only way to FLASH the firmware is with a micro SD card.. So i can not use a THUMB DRIVE to flash it?

    I received my M8 AMLOGIC S802 from Geekbuying. Everything is going like a charm but I have a little problem with the size of windows. It's a little bit greater like my TV screen(Panasonic Viera) and I can't see all the details in top and bottom. The size is setting NORMAL. How can I fix it?

  18. Eric
    8 years ago

    Please click Mboxsetting, and choose display, and change the screen size.

  19. Daniel.Canada

    I fund how to fix the size. In settings go to Display and you can adjust size up to 100%.

    I have this Android box and seem to be having a problem with PowerAMP player. I thought is was just that app but now the problem also occurs outside of that app. When I skip between tracks I'm getting a loud noise that sounds like large metal table being dragged across a hard floor. Upon leaving PowerAMP to run Catlog Player it was doing the same noises each time I selected something. I have reinstalled Poweramp and I had also updated to your new firmware update above but still endure the same problem. The tracks it was doing it on were mostly 48Khz as the 44.1Khz were not doing it. Still - it did happen outside that app so any fix or advice?

    I've just received the M8 TvBox. I'm having problems with the 1080p playback in Netflix. Can this firmware solve this? The firmware I have is: KOT49H.20140807, kernel 3.10.33 ubuntu@ubuntu188#8. This is the last firmware?
